About the site

Whether you're after a relaxing family holiday, attending a celebration, participating in a course or volunteering on one of the site's environmental projects, camping and glamping here offer a memorable place to stay. Expect breathtaking views down to the beach at Porthtowan and over the Atlantic, as well as to St Agnes Beacon and the historic mining valley of Tywarnhayle. Plus, a cleared mule track leads down the valley towards the beach below (a 20 minute walk). Spacious grass and hardstanding pitches are available on a huge field with optional electric, ideal for campers and tourers. Even in summer at maximum capacity, there is plenty of space to get away from it all. The simplistic, handcrafted eco pods sleep up to two guests and include a double bed, bedding, towels, solar lights and USB charging ports. A selection of shepherd huts also offers a cosy glamping choice for your Cornish adventure. Small Woods and Ty View sleep up to two, Allotment 2 sleeps up to three, while Beacon and Allotment 1 sleep up to four. All are beautifully furnished with beds and cooking facilities, and three shepherd's huts even have the luxury of an ensuite (Tywarnhayle, Allotment 1 and Allotment 2). Well behaved dogs are very welcome on the park, and pets are welcome across the grounds. Campfires are encouraged in the cob courtyard (communal area), and fire pits and barbecues are welcome as long as they are kept off the grass.

A note from the site themselves...

There's always something exciting happening at our eco park, from campouts and singing sessions to tree planting events and markets. The energy here is contagious!

We're passionate about our community and the environment, which is why we also run the Down to Earth Foundation. We work hand in hand with the community to increase biodiversity and create corridors for wildlife to move around the park.

Since 2017, we've planted thousands of trees, carefully choosing species that thrive in our soil and can withstand the powerful winds that drive our on site wind turbine. We also have our Community Garden for us and locals to grow plenty of fruit and vegetables. The produce is also used in our canteen so that you can enjoy the taste of local, homegrown goodness too.

We love having an eclectic mix of people visiting our site, from campers, band members, wedding guests to cafe goers. There's something for everyone here. So, come and visit us, stroll on the beach, breathe in the fresh air and connect with nature in the heart of Cornwall. Jess and the Mount Pleasant Eco Park team

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

I loved it, but I can see how some people may struggle with the showers and loos etc. Fantastic location. Very friendly staff. Loved the activities. I went to a play and an open mic event, lots of talented people. I would go back again, love the ethos.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

We arrived at the campsite on Sunday afternoon to find the reception closed. A note directed us to our camping bay and provided a number for issues. As visitors unfamiliar with the local area, we were disappointed not to be greeted by any staff members. In fact, throughout our two-night stay, we never encountered a single member of the campsite staff, apart from the friendly coffee shop staff, which we were told operated independently. Furthermore, the campsite bar remained closed on both nights of our stay. This was particularly surprising given that our visit included a weekend night. Considering the cost of £40 per night simply to park a van in a field, we had expected a higher level of customer service and access to open facilities.

Site's response

Hi there, I am very sorry you experienced a unfulfilling time at our campsite. The campsite reception is not always open on a Sunday as we have cleaning and changeovers to do around the site. There is always someone you can reach, and there is a mobile number on the door for our onsite staff. From Monday there was someone in our main office close to the Canteen, and always is during the week. £40 is the price of an electric pitch, so I'm unsure if you were just parked in the middle of a field? There would have been a check in list with names at reception and a map. The campsite facilities are always open - toilets / showers etc and if you needed to speak to someone there is a very friendly sign on our door of a number you can message if there is no one there. We are always around! Again, we are sorry you didn't have a great experience, and we would be happy to welcome you back in the future if you wished to give us another go! With warmest regards.

Excellent place

Medium Tent - Wild Grass Camping PitchesJun 2025

Excellent place, friendly, helpful staff, would recommend to my friend, definitely be coming back. Lovely campsite, not to far to the beach, 30 walk if you like walking. Or 10 min in car. Campsite clean and friendly and helpful, shower as you expected for an eco campsite, toilets are compost toilets on wild camp grounds, but there are normal toilets on main site. Would recommend, will be going back again 👍👍👍
