Get all the fun of camping but without any of the set up stresses with these beautiful bell tents - part of the YHA Glamping experience. These spacious tipi-like tents are fully kitted out with a double futon bed and three single futons plus all bedding and can sleep four or five people. They also have eco-friendly solar lighting and comfy bean bags for you to chill out on during the day plus bedside tables, a coffee table, rugs and soft flooring.
There are 10 tents available at YHA Treyarnon - four standard and six premium - and bell tent guests will have full use of the camping facilities. Premium bell tents sleep four people and have the addition of a woodburner to keep you cosy. YHA Treyarnon's bell tents are available to book for stays between April and the end of October.
These brand new Landpods, upgraded for 2019, are fully waterproof and sleep up to four adults. They are slightly elevated off the ground for a comfortable night’s sleep under the stars – you can even open the roof for a better view! With LED lighting these cosy pods include all beds and bedding. There is a table, bench and BBQ firepit outside so you can make the most of the great outdoors and dine al fresco.
The new larger Landpod sleeps up to 4 people, on two small double mattresses (one above the other) and a single futon mattress, which doubles up as the seating area. They’re even tall enough to stand up in!
Please note that there is no heating in our Landpods.
Please note that camping is sold per person and not per pitch and so, during the booking process, you will need to select the number of people that you wish to camp.

Manager recommends: Closer to home take a short amble over to Constantine Bay at low tide for a mini-beast hunt or down to Treyarnon Bay for some fun bodyboarding and a dip in the tide pool. If you fancied something a little further afield, get your boots and start walking! We are super lucky to be located on the South West Coast path. You can travel north to Padstow or head over the other side of the Bay towards Newquay. You certainly will not be disappointed with the view!
