Trevena Cross Camping is strategically placed just off the A394, it’s also on the main Penzance to Helston bus route for easy outings by public transport. Not that it’s all about getting off site: the place itself is rather lovely too, set back from the road, surrounded by agricultural land and at the foot of Tregonning Hill (climbs of which are rewarded with fine views across west Cornwall to both north and south coasts). The pitching area takes up four and a half acres of a seven-acre plot, with guests able to pick their own pitch and numbers limited to ensure plenty of space for all. Facilities have been kept simple here – just portaloos, showers and a cold water tap – and there’s free parking on site too (although in wet weather you’ll be asked to keep travel through the fields to a minimum). Dogs are welcome to take a break here too, but you’ll need to keep them on a lead, clean up after them and generally be mindful of other guests and the livestock in neighbouring fields. Those aiming to see Cornwall on foot should be pleased to note that there are plenty of countryside walks around, and lots of lovely coastal spots close by too (Praa Sands and Porthleven are both a couple of miles away, and linked by the South West Coast Path). It’s also an easy five-minute amble to Breage village centre for a top-notch pub, a couple of play areas, a post office/shop and a popular garden centre with a fab café.
