Sea View Farm Camping

Set just inland from the north Cornwall coast, Seaview Stays has lovely, open views across the surrounding valley. While it's not visible from all of the pitches, guests can catch partial sea views from various points around the site – and facing west, the sunsets can be very memorable.

Just five minutes' drive away from St Eval and near several sandy beaches, it's a peaceful and well-placed base for exploring the coast. Pitches are on a slight slope.

Coast lovers of all stripes should be in their element here – there are excellent walks along the South West Coast Path to Bedruthan Steps or Mawgan Porth from the site, or you can just stroll through the farm to reach Park Head, Porth Mear Cove or the sands of Porthcothan Bay, a splendid spot for paddling and bodyboarding as well as scenic sunset picnics. Can't get enough? Top spots like Newquay and Padstow aren't far off either.

This is a laidback and pleasingly spacious site that welcomes families, groups and dogs and is pretty relaxed about things like barbecues and campfires. Facilities include toilets, hot showers, washing up area, drinking water taps and a chemical waste disposal facility.

Mawgan Porth (five minutes' drive) and Padstow (15 minutes) are your closest areas for shops and places to eat, but there's also a shop at Porthcothan Bay for snacks, coffees and ice creams, Far Out coffee van on the farm and a nice tearoom a little over a mile away.
