About the site


Get ready for adventure on land, sea and in the air at this unique family friendly campsite, set on a 400-acre former RAF Spitfire base on the South West Coastal Path near Perranporth. Treuvance Cove is just a mile away and there are a number of sandy beaches within a short walk. All of the pitches are unmarked on grass without electric, with plenty of space to spread out. These are suitable for tents, trailer tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes. Depending on when you're staying, take part in flying lessons, parachuting, skid car training, archery, pistol shooting and microlights. There's even driving lessons for under 17's, great for anyone looking for a slightly different camping experience! Please note that, due to the nature of this site, there will be noise from the airfield and other onsite activities. Dogs are not permitted, sorry.

Spitfire Park is open from 02/03 to 29/10.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Nice little park, not much to do. Food is dear and drinks but went off camp, couldn't go beach no parking for campers and a long walk. Everything closed down at 4 o'clock, was expecting see more planes and stuff. It's okay for a stop overnight.

Basic but great price

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Really good location for exploring the area. Short drive into nearby Perranporth where there's a fantastic beach. Also an active airfield so planes taking off and skydiving. Really good buzz about the place. Toilet and shower blocks could do with updating and few more of them for size of the site. Overall though can't argue for £25 a night in peak season.
