Cornwall: Camping by the Sea
UK, 🇬🇧 Grossbritannien
Camping Guide | Cornwall
Imagine: The sound of the waves, the salty air, the scent of wild gorse. Cornwall is a feast for the senses. Here, rugged coastal landscapes meet rolling hills, and the deep blue sea meets emerald green meadows. A place where you can escape everyday life and fully immerse yourself in nature. Feel the freedom that only a camping holiday in Cornwall can offer!
💡Cornwall isn't just postcard-perfect. The weather can be unpredictable, and the roads are often narrow. But that’s exactly what makes it so charming.
The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Cornwall.
North vs. South Coast 🧭
Cornwall's north coast beckons with its dramatic cliffs and the best surf spots. Here you'll find Porthtowan and Newquay. The south coast, on the other hand, is gentler, with picturesque bays and charming fishing villages like Fowey and St Ives. Consider what's more important to you!
Getting Around 🚐
Cornwall is best explored with your own camper, but be warned: the roads are often very narrow and winding. Think carefully about whether you'd rather leave your motorhome at a campsite and explore the area by bike or public transport. Parking spaces are scarce, especially in high season.
Hidden Gems 💎
Away from the coast, in the heart of Cornwall, lies Bodmin Moor. A wild, untouched landscape with ancient stone circles and mysterious legends. A perfect place for hiking and letting your soul dangle. Visit St Nectan's Glen, a hidden waterfall with a mystical atmosphere.
