Cornwall Campsites
Find your perfect campsite in Cornwall, one of the UK’s best-loved camping destinations. From beachside pitches a short walk from the sand to quiet countryside sites near the Eden Project, Cornwall has a campsite to suit every kind of trip.
Why Camp in Cornwall?
Cornwall packs an enormous amount of variety into a relatively small county, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, sheltered estuaries, working harbours, moorland, and historic mining landscapes all within easy reach of each other. Camping is a Cornwall tradition, and the county has a brilliant range of independent, family-run sites alongside larger holiday parks with full facilities.
Best Areas to Camp in Cornwall
Newquay and the North Coast – Cornwall’s surf capital, with golden beaches and a lively atmosphere. Popular with families and surfers alike.
Eden Project Area (St Austell) – Dozens of campsites within easy reach of the Eden Project, ranging from simple grass pitches to sites with pools and play areas. A strong base for central Cornwall.
The Lizard Peninsula – Quieter, more remote, with stunning coastal scenery and fewer crowds than the north coast.
Padstow and the Camel Estuary – Known for its food scene and water sports, with campsites set back from the estuary’s calmer waters.
Land’s End and West Cornwall – Dramatic, rugged coastline at the very tip of the county, with historic tin mining sites and some of Cornwall’s most spectacular views.
Things to Do Near Your Campsite
The South West Coast Path runs the length of Cornwall’s coastline and is one of the best ways to see the county on foot. Surfing is a major draw around Newquay, while the calmer waters of the south coast suit kayaking and paddleboarding.
The Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Tintagel Castle, and St Michael’s Mount are all within reach depending on where you base yourself, and Cornwall’s seafood and pasty culture means you’ll eat well wherever you pitch up.
