Tregonetha Lake

The distinctive croak of moorhens echoes across still water as morning mist lifts from Tregonetha Lake, revealing a peaceful Cornish valley where granite outcrops punctuate gentle hillsides. Sunlight filters through lakeside trees, catching the ripples made by feeding ducks and the occasional leaping fish.

This tranquil site appeals to families and couples seeking a genuine escape into Cornwall's lesser-known interior, away from the coastal crowds yet perfectly positioned for exploring both north and south shores. The lake setting provides a naturally calming backdrop, whilst the surrounding moorland countryside offers excellent walking straight from your pitch. Tents, campervans and caravans are all welcomed here.

Facilities are straightforward and practical, with toilets and showers serving the pitches that overlook or nestle near the water's edge. The atmosphere is refreshingly uncommercialized—this is camping focused on the simple pleasures of lakeside living and wildlife watching. Check regarding campfire policies when you arrive, as this can add to the evening ambiance beside the water.
