A note from the site themselves...

We are a family run park with mum, dad, daughter, son in law and son! We have always been campers/caravaners so we had an insight into what customers look for on a site. For us, we wanted a site where families can come and enjoy time with relatives/children.

After a fabulous day at the beach or sightseeing, enjoy a BBQ then chill around a fire pit with maybe a glass or two with evenings calm and quiet. A noisy rowdy site wasn't/ isn't for us! We expected facilities to be clean and well maintained.

We fell in love with the site on arrival, it has a 'feel good' and welcoming atmosphere (which many customers have mentioned in reviews) and knew instantly it was the site for us. We have spent our time putting our own stamp on, updating/renewing and adding to make this site the best it can be.

There is always more that can be done so we try with each year to add a little something new! We pride ourselves on our ability to provide a site that is all that we would expect and want for our holiday.

Single Axle Caravan - Serviced Grass PitchesAug 2023

We had a lovely stay at Higher Trevaskis caravan and camping site. The owners were lovely and very accommodating! The site itself is very peaceful, tidy and the amenities are spotless. The pitch we were allocated was right opposite the play area, which was fantastic for us as our children could go and play and were in sight at all times from our pitch, without us having to stand there for hours. We could visit places around Cornwall without having to spend hours driving and the beach was only a 5 minute drive away.

Perfect camping experience

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

We stayed here for our 1st family camping trip and I could not fault it. We don't have anything to compare to but the cleanliness, facilities and the staff were above our expectations. The toilets and showers were so clean it felt like home. The hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly and generally was sad to say goodbye but we can't wait to visit again!

Friendly site

Single Axle Caravan - Serviced Grass PitchesSep 2023

Very clean site with friendly staff and other residents. The manager welcomed us and knew how long we were staying without checking his book. He was visible around the site daily but not invasive. The showers were old but the best we have ever used. 6 acre site but you were in small enclosures so it felt small.
