About Porthtowan Tourist Park

Settled only a mile from the beautiful Porthtowan Beach and close by to many of Cornwall's top attractions, this award-winning rural park is ideal for sand, sun and seaside activities. All pitches are spread across three level fields with modern facilities, including a wetsuit rinse area. Opt for old school camping with non-electric grass pitches or grass pitches with 10 amp electric hookups, suitable for all types of tents and tourers. There are also premium hardstanding pitches for tourers only, complete with your water and waste point. With an on-site games room and adventure play area, a tourist information office for exciting attractions nearby, and an on-site shop for all the essentials - the site has all you need! During the off-peak months, a set of pitches are designated as adult-only and are the most tranquil in the park. Dogs are welcome.

Porthtowan Tourist Park is open from 22/03 to 28/09 in 2024 and from 11/04 to 28/09 in 2025.

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Overall amazing. Super clean, great showers, very friendly staff who work very hard. My only constructive suggestion is that maybe it could do with one more sit down men's toilet.

Perfect site
