Tristram Campsite is situated in what must be the best cliff side location in Cornwall with direct access down on to the beach. The site is made up of three fields, all safely fenced off so it is secure and safe for your family and belongings.

Tristram Campsite, Polzeath sits nestled on the lowering cliff tops down towards the village, on the majestic North Cornish Coastal path.
The sun rises over the village itself bathing the site with sunshine all day long. Lazing on your pitch, after a fun day in surf (five minutes walk away) or a day's exploring, watching the evening surfers, the sun sets, almost always with style every evening. A perfect accompaniment to that well deserved chilled beer or wine and bbq! Priceless!

Two girls on our first trip to Cornwall ended up in Polzeath because we had heard it was a nice area to learn to surf and because there are lots of things to see and do. We keep going back there every year and every year we camp at the farm which sits on the hill over looking the bay. You can easily walk down to the beach from there and the views from the farm are breathtaking, plus the farm has a restaurant that does the best breakfast I have ever had – all ingredients are from the farm. I recommend Surf's Up for anyone learning to surf and although it can get a bit busy in the water it is such fun once you are out there trying to ride a wave. In between surf lessons we would walk along the coast to Rock and have a cream tea while starring out at Padstow on the other side of the bay. Don't miss out on Daimler Bay if you are in the area, voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world a few years ago.
For an exceptional meal in the evening in beautiful settings head 10 minutes up the road to The Mote in Port Isaac, but make sure you book in advance as it gets booked up. If you go on a Friday night you will get a chance to hear the Fishermens Friends singing old fishermen songs acapella on the beach if the tide is down. Can be a truly magical experience.

Mesmear is a farm with a number of barns which have been converted to the highest standard. It is tucked away down a little lane close to Polzeath, Rock and Padstow so an ideal location if you love walking, the sea and great food!
We stayed at The Barn and it truly was a home away from home. So much thought has gone into this property that every detail if not forgotten - the decor is very comtemporary and luxurious and here are some nice touches such as local produce waiting for you for your first breakfast, an honesty bar, yummy toiletries and underfloor heating.
Mesmear also runs cookery courses which you can do in your property which was a lot of fun!
My husband and I found it was the perfect couple retreat, whether it be in the winter when you can stay in and enjoy the wood burner, or in the summer when you can make the most of the location...but it would also be great for families or groups of friends. Try it!
It's a zorbing (sphereing) site in north Cornwall near Polzeath. My girlfriend and I went and it was amazing - we got strapped in to a giant ball and sent head over heels down a huge hill! It was a totally unique experience, one I would recommend to anyone who fancies a massive adrenalin rush anyway!
We also went kayaking last summer with them and had such a good time. We discovered massive sea caves which were amazing and also got a glimpse of two basking sharks (from a safe distance)! Definitely going out again this summer.

Three 18th century barns converted into fabulous contemporary holiday houses. With a private cook, housekeeper and swimming pool, our stay felt more exclusive and more relaxing than any five-star hotel.

We stay in Polzeath every year, for the last three years we have been sea kayaking with Sam from Cornish Coast Adventures - amazing scenery, great local guides, always different and exciting!
Based at Port Quin, five minutes drive from Polzeath www.cornishcoastadventures.com
After the obligatory surf lesson with Surf's Up we tried an afternoon's kayaking with Matt from Cornish Rock Tors. We pootled around some lovely coastline around Port Gaverne and even saw a seal. Kids had a great time. Top fun.
Carruan Farm is a working farm overlooking Polzeath Hill on the North Cornish coast. Carruan boasts a farmhouse kitchen, farm shop and outdoor eating and play area, all new in the past two years. They have also introduced a mail order business so you can enjoy their produce from all over the country.
Your hosts are Mike and Clare Parnell who wholeheartedly share their farm with you with true Cornish warmth.
What a find! We make our annual trip to the beautiful West coast of Cornwall and always make a point of going to Carruan.
Picture it - a hard day's play building castles and moats on the sands at Polzeath or catching the waves. It leaves you with an appetite for good homemade food. You must enjoy one of their farmhouse suppers or outdoor summer barbecues in the evenings. Absolutely beautiful and more often meat used that they have reared on the farm. Makes my mouth water thinking about it!
A totally child friendly paradise. Fantastic play area, tractor trips around the farm and meet the farm animals. Often evening activities are focused around the children including Punch and Judy shows, storytelling and laser tag. You must see the sheep racing - great fun.
Simply visit Carruan and enjoy. I guarantee you will want to return.

North of New Polzeath is a headland ending at the Rumps Point. From here there are spectacular views up and down the coast. This stretch belongs to the National Trust and there is a car park off a small road going out to Pentire Farm.
What is it? Three guys (Matt, Simon & Jack), who provide an absolutely cracking time edging along boulders and cliffs over the sea, swimming through sea caves, then jumping off ledges and cliffs into the Atlantic.
Great fun, well instructed, good value for money and superb scenery.

They take people out climbing, abseiling and coasteering. We were down for a weekend at Easter and did both. The instructors were top notch and the coasteering especially was awesome fun.
Little Avalon is a cafe just a long enough walk from the fantastic flat sandy beach to dry off after a long days body boarding or surfing. If you like animals visit Helena the chicken and her friends for free at the pets corner directly oppsite (but watch out for Lloyd the cheeky talking turkey!). I would have a strawberry crush and a mars bar melt (it's delicious!). The best snacks in Cornwall!!!

Cross the road from the beach look for the sign and walk towards the caravan site.
