Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping

127 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents20 acres · Cornwall, South West England

Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go swimming before breakfast in the clear water of a secluded lake. Cook your bacon and eggs over an open fire while you plan your day, or just laze it away in the peace and quiet of your own personal tipi. You can always go fishing tomorrow, and walk along the cliffs the day after that… The site is a unique woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis and tent pitches are dotted about this secret 20 acres full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Left in peace for many years there's been no modern chemicals or poisons on the land, meaning we've got bluebells, dormice, Red Admirals and shy woodland Jays for you to spot. It’s a place set apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us. We established CTH in 1996. This was the first and we believe still is the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with local knowledge or contacts if you need them. We want to offer our guests a sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment - our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth. Your footprint while here could only be bettered by a survival expert. You don't have to fly! a major bonus, and we source all our wood, fish and canvas locally and work with local people wherever possible.

Campsites near Polzeath guide

Overview

Some of the warmest weather in England makes camping near the seaside village of Polzeath in Cornwall a popular summer activity. From waterfront tent pitches, campers can head into nature and explore Dartmoor National Park and Exmoor National Park on wild hikes across the moors. Keep a logout for wildlife like otters, bats, and Exmoor ponies. A trip to Penwith Heritage Coast brings campers to Land’s End at the southwestern tip of the country. Explore wild camping in the moors or book a stay in a cosy glamping pod to discover more of the valleys, rocky rivers, and sandy beaches near Polzeath.

Where to go

Dartmoor National Park

An hour east of Polzeath is Dartmoor National Park, where deep river valleys cut through granite landscape. Join the otters for a splash in one of the many rivers that run through Dartmoor, or hike through the woodland valleys where dormice and bats make their homes. Rustic camping is popular in the park, with plenty of tranquil tent pitches that offer a view of the starry night skies. Campervans are welcome, although small roads may restrict larger vehicles.

Exmoor National Park

From England’s highest cliffs to winding trails through wide moors, Exmoor National Park offers one of the best walking parks in the UK. Trails range from rugged to easy, with some specially marked for accessible adventures—free from steps and stiles. Landowner permission is required for wild camping in the park, and accommodations ranging from tent camping to glamping and lodging offer a way for everyone to have a comfortable stay.

Penwith Heritage Coast

Discover the southwesternmost tip of England with a visit to Penwith Heritage Coast, where towering cliffs give a view over the Celtic Sea. Stroll through Chysauster Ancient Village and discover local history inside its 2,000-year-old walls, or wander the First and Last Trail for a spectacular finish at Land’s End. Local tent pitches and caravan parks offer easy access to the trails, with amenities like electric hookups and water standpipes.

When to go

Polzeath’s beachside appeal makes it especially popular as a summer camping destination, when crowds flock to the waterfront for sunny days in June and July. Spring and fall still offer pleasantly warm weather, with slightly fewer crowds at tent pitches. Some campsites remain open in winter and are ideal for a tranquil escape, though campers should be aware that sea storms and inclement weather may close some destinations on short notice.
