When readers of Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome voted for Trethem Mill Touring Park they made some helpful comments. Here is a quick selection of their views on this pretty campsite.
"I cannot speak too highly of Trethem Mill: it is the best site we have ever stayed on. The facilities are always spotlessly clean. The park is kept in immaculate condition. It is in a perfect situation to explore the Roseland Peninsula and the rest of Cornwall."
"This is the friendliest, most helpful site that we have ever stayed at. They are accommodating, have great policies for wildlife and always put their customers first."
"This is everything you could need from a touring park. We could have stayed all summer."

I had read really good things about this camp site & as we hadn't visited the Roseland Peninsular area of Cornwall thought I'd give it a try. Well, all I can say is how superb a camp site it is in every way.
