Arthur’s Field

We're not alone in being repeat visitors to camp at Treloan. Beautiful views, relaxed vibe, happy kids on bikes, in the field, feeding the animals with Debs in the morning. Don't miss the paella get-together on Wednesday night. Love it. 

We live in Cornwall about an hour away and love to come here, there is something magical about this place.We have currently stayed here twice. The Campsite itself is perfect for family camping, good size pitches and plenty of room for the kids to run around. The short walk to the beach is lovely.Debs is great with the kids and loves chatting to them.The showers are lovly and warm with family rooms as well.  Everytime we leave i wish we had booked for longer.

We spent a beautiful sunny May half term at Arthur's Field. Laid back, friendly vibe and kind welcome from the owners. We loved our pitch, sheltered but with a sea view. Our neighbours were Cornish and used the site regularly - always good to go where the locals go! Gerrans is a short stroll away. Go to the pub near the campsite to hear the locals singing shanties - the food wasn't anything to write home about, but the friendly landlady and music made up for it. Best meal out was The Boathouse in Portscatho. Incredible seafood and wine! Found a lovely little beach at Veryan - not too busy, but with a carpark, toilets, and a local icecream van. Portscatho itself is lovely. We enjoyed scrambling over the rocks from one side of the bay to the other at low tide. Ralph's shop in Portscatho looked like a fab deli, but is basically a corner shop... we went further afield for supplies. The path down to the beach from the campsite looked too scary for me, but it could be great for braver souls. There's so much going on on-site at Arthur's Field. My daughter loved bringing back eggs in the morning after helping Debs feed the animals. Debs tinkles her bell, and the little ones come running! Gorgeous. All of the arts on offer, from evening music and poetry to craft workshops in the day, make this a great option for families. Book early for the onsite paella and BBQs, they do sell out quickly and you'll be tortured by the delicious smells wafting over the field if you miss out! I'm knocking off one star because the facilities, although clean, we're not quite enough for the numbers of people using them. A few more showers would be great. For now, time your shower to miss the rush! A wonderful camping location.  We'll be back 'dreckly', as they say in Cornwall.

We stayed at Treloan in August 2014. The weather was mixed, but even a couple of downpours couldn't put a dampener on our time. Our two kids, 6 and 4, loved every minute. The morning feeding time for the farm animals and guinea pigs were a real hit. The view from the site is brilliant as was the tiny beach just down the hill. The surrounding area was beautiful and uncrowded. All in all a very lovely, relaxing holiday. There i

We stayed at Arthur's Field from 6th - 13th July 2013, in amazingly hot weather! The site is small, with refreshingly few 'rules and regulations' - just enough to keep things ticking over nicely. Debs is great - really friendly and helpful.  The site was fully booked for both weekends at the beginning and end of our stay, but it still felt peaceful and friendly. The facilities were kept clean and were large enough to cope with a full site. We met some really lovely, interesting people and some very well behaved dogs - and children!  Because we were outside most school holidays, most of the people staying were couples like us, or families with young children, who had plenty of safe space to play. It was very entertaining watching the toddlers watching the wild rabbits!  This is the perfect kind of camping for us - friendly people, no 'clubhouse', braziers and barbecues allowed, and fantastic walks and scenery on the doorstep. We will definitely be back!

Myself, my wife and three young children stayed here for 9 nights over August bank holiday and left with mixed feelings about the site although the location is second to none, safe sheltered coves ideal for swimming and crabbing with Portscatho a 5 minute walk away. The campsite was VERY busy and we were very boxed in and didnt really feel like cool camping. We arrived and were given our pitch by a member of staff so we pitched up, no mean feat with 3 small children, only to be told that we were in the wrong place the next day by an irate campsite owner, as a consequence we were left fighting for space.There was also an issue with some roaming dogs whilst staying there which our children didnt really appreciate.

Having said the above, the Wednesday night BBQ was good for the kids and feeding the animals in the morning.

The general vibe amongst the true campers on site was friendly but not subscribed to by all.

We had a good time from a location / base point of view but not sure if we will be staying again or not, didnt really feel like "cool camping"

FANTASTIC! We went as 2 young couples together...lovely atmosphere, quiet campsite and perfect for couples and families. Campsite is very clean, especially the toilets and showers which look like they have just been refurbished. Owners are lovely and introduced themselves and showed us around the site where everything was. Just through one and a half fields is a stunning clifftop overlooking the sea...if you don't mind a bit of climbing then you can get to a mini provate beach which is gorgeous! Also horses are along the clifftop which was really nice. Highly recommend this campsite and we will all definatelty be back soon! Thanks Arthur's Field ;-)

Stayed here beginning of July 2011 for a week (7ngts). Glorious view across the sea below.

Pitches are gently sloping and there was a mixture of campervans, caravans and canvas with the glamping corner consisting of a "snug" and a yurt, we were under canvas. The site is big enough to have enough people to make it have a nice buzzy atmosphere without feeling too over-run or busy. All other campers were polite and a delight in small bits of conversation and our week proved popular but by no means crowded with families with pre-school children not yet bound by school holidays and they had plenty of space to play and around 10am would follow owner Debs to feed the chickens, sheep and guinea pigs and collect freshly laid eggs. It is simple camping, but what more do you need? There are plenty of electric hook-ups for those who need them. The shower,loos, wash basins and wash-up areas were cleaned and kept clean several times throughout the day. There are family spaced shower rooms at either end of the campsite. There is a freezer for freezing blocks, a small library and tourist information area. My concerns about camping on a cliff top were eased as there was a large non-camping field or two where peak season they hold campfires and where children can play, fly kites etc, and then the coastal path seperating us fron any drop so it felt very safe. But the wind did blow at times and I second the advice to take good windbreaks... we didn't, but next time we will.

Easy access to the coastal path and any number of small coves either way from the campsite pleased all who were there. Those who fished came back having caught sea bass, mackeral and pollock. An easy and beautiful coastal walk to the nearest seaside village Portscatho which had a sandy beach, rockpools, an icecream kiosk and then a pub, store and restaurant "The Boathouse" great for fresh crab sandwiches and an introduction to the music of the local seaman's choir with a quality CD of their music available to purchase if requested.

The wider area, the Roseland Peninsula is just stunning and has lots to explore with the pretty port of St Mawes, and a lovely bird lookout from St Anthony's Head and access to the King Harry Ferry for exploring the South West of Cornwall with all manner of fisherman's coves, ports, National Trust properties, gardens and beaches and other gardens and places of interest. Not too far in the other direction to places like the fishing village of Mevagissy. One family we met had a fantastic picturesque train ride from Truro to St Ives which we've made a mental note of for next time.

It really is cool camping at its best.

What a find thanks to Cool Camping. We travelled over 400 miles with trepidation - would only 1 week’s camping in Cornwall be worth the ’trek’.. Was it?! well it was Well worth it. Beautiful weather, super pitch - overlooking the field, sea & the headland & fantastic ’mien hosts’!! Great facilities, roomy site, hot water, spotless shower block avec loo roll which was replenished daily! The kids roamed safely & freely all neighbours were friendly yet not too eager to ’jump in your tent’!! or advise you how to light your brazier - (fire)!! So the chickens, kids, rabbit, guinea pigs & lambs were happy which = happy parents = happy holiday. This area was beautiful to explore or just stroll down into the little cove on our door step, saying hello to the cows & horses on the way - darling buds of Cornwall!! Lovely time had by all and what a pity it was only 1 weeks holiday - we would go back tomorrow. Highly recommended - but please dont tell everyone :o)
