Adventure For Less
Camping Spots in Cornwall
Five spots where the sea does the talking and the pitch fees stay small. Travel further. Spend less. Adventure more.
01
Trewethett Farm
Tintagel, North Cornwall
Clifftop pitches perched above the Atlantic, with jaw-dropping sea views and the South West Coast Path right on your doorstep. A wild, rugged base for exploring Tintagel and the north coast.
02
Trevedra Farm
Sennen, near Land’s End
A working farm campsite a short walk from Gwenver and Sennen Cove beaches. Big skies, surf breaks and sunsets over the Atlantic make this one of the far west’s finest budget pitches.
03
Dropped Anchor Sea View Camping
Helston
A small, laid-back site with sweeping sea views and a genuinely relaxed feel. Perfectly placed for exploring Helston, the Lizard and the sheltered coves of the south coast.
04
Cadgwith Camping
Lizard Peninsula
Camp within strolling distance of Cadgwith, a working fishing village of thatched cottages and hauled-up boats. Quiet, characterful and steps from some of the Lizard’s best coastal walks.
05
Watergate Bay Touring Park
Newquay
A well-equipped touring park a short walk from Watergate Bay’s two miles of golden surf beach. On-site pool, shop and easy access to Newquay make it a solid all-rounder for beach-loving campers.
