Camping in Isles of Scilly AONB

Hopping across to the go-slow Isles of Scilly off southwest Cornwall feels like leaving England far behind, though the mainland is under 30 miles away. Some 140 islands make up this wildly beautiful and historically fascinating archipelago, and only five are inhabited. It’s a world of secluded coves, lonely lighthouses, wonderfully scenic coastal footpaths, and beachy strands that appear like magic at low tide, and there are just a few camping spots and glamping lodges sprinkled around. Outdoor adventurers delight in hiking, swimming, diving, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, and seal-spotting, not to mention sleeping under blissfully clear skies.

25 units · Tents · Porthleven, England

Pop- up site throughout the summer in the village of Breage, just off the A394. Porthleven and Praa Sands five minutes' drive away. At the foot of Tregonning Hill; on a main bus route for easy outings. Trevena Cross Glamping & Camping is strategically placed just off the A394, it's also on the main Penzance to Helston bus route for easy outings. Not that it's all about getting off site: the place itself is rather lovely too, set back from the road surrounded by agricultural land and at the foot of Tregonning Hill (climbs of which are rewarded with views of the south coasts). The pitching area takes up four and a half acres of the seven- acre plot, with guests able to pick their own pitch and numbers limited to ensure plenty of space for all. Facilities have been kept simple here Eco Loo, Wash up area and hot showers. There is free parking on site too (although in wet weather you'll be asked to keep travel through the fields to a minimum). It's a family friendly site with a car free play area complete with a communal toy box. Dogs are welcome to take a break here too, they have a dedicated exercise area where they can run free but you'll need to keep them on a lead in all other areas, clean up after them and generally be mindful of other guests and the livestock in neighbouring fields. There is a small onsite 'essentials shop' for when you've been caught short and can't face the drive to Helston (we're talking really important items that never should have missed the list like marshmallows, baked beans and batteries!). Freezer pack re-freezing and battery pack charging facilities also available on request (subject to a small charge and availability). Those aiming to see Cornwall on foot should be pleased to note that there are plenty of countryside walks around, and lots of lovely coastal spots close by too (Praa Sands and Porthleven are both a couple of miles away, and linked by the South West Coast Path). It's also an easy 5- minute amble to Breage village centre for a top notch pub, a couple of play areas, a post office/ shop and a popular garden centre with a fab cafe.

The Retreat is in a secluded corner of a 3 acre meadow with sea views and direct footpath access to several stunning coves. The meadow is left to grass and wildflowers, cut once a year in June or July for organic hay. It is visited regularly by badgers, foxes and red deer, and it's a great spot to see hunting barn owls and raptors, swallows....and bats! It's a fantastic place for star-gazing too! Many guests don't use their car once they're here....there are so many walks right from the gate to some of the most breathtaking coastline in Britain. If you like sea-swimming, nature photography, bird-watching, rock-clambering, or just fire-cooking and romantic nights under the stars, you'll love it! We are a little haven in the middle of farmland, so please be aware that whilst most of the time it is very peaceful here, there are times when you can hear farm noises.

The field faces the west, so it catches lots of sunlight and is a great spot for watching the sky light up in pinks and oranges as the sun sets in the evening Sustainability and nature is at the heart of what we do here, so we wanted to find a way that we could make your stay unique and eco friendly without compromising on comfort. We have turned a horsebox into a shower block complete with a composting loo! Everything you see on the site has been made from upcycled and repurposed materials. All of the tents are decorated slightly differently with vintage and antique pieces, making them truly unique and one-off! This farm is centrally located, making all of Cornwall very easy to explore. Both the north and south coasts of the county can be reached in about a quarter of an hour, so you can nip up to Gwithian to catch the surf before heading south to the much-loved foodie town of Porthleven.

5 nights at Mushroom Meadow, Cornwall UK

We loved the location, tucked down a farm track, in the shelter of a lovely wooded river. Great eco facilities, we love a composting loo and the outdoor showers were fabulous. Tim on site was really helpful and friendly. Gorgeous, generous pitches and so peaceful. The wash up area in the wood is a lovely spot but a little far from the site and in the less sunny months would get a bit waterlogged I'd imagine. It was no bother to us as we boiled water and washed up on our pitch, but might be an issue at a busier time perhaps. We loved our stay, good value, a great site with a fabulous ethos. Right up our street, would wholeheartedly recommend. The river walk is a lovely amenity and lots of places are easy to reach from it's central location.

Admittedly we were blessed with the weather at the August bank holiday weekend so we could sit outside our tent and enjoy the fantastic sea views. Rebecca was very friendly and helpful. It’s a great location for walking two days of the SW Coast path. Back to basics amenities were clean and well kept. The hot shower was a little temperamental . We will return 🙂

Had a really nice time here over the last weekend. The pitch was very flat, and secluded, with lovely views. The site was quiet and everyone there was super friendly and welcoming. The location was great, with Hayle beach being just a 15 minute drive, and St Ives being around 20 minutes away. The facilities where clean and well maintained, although some may find them lacking due to there being no hot water. Overall I'd really recommend this site to anyone who wants more peaceful, beautiful and remote campsite, and also to anyone who wants more budget friendly accommodation near St Ives.

Mushroom Meadow is a peaceful field well away from any roads. Surrounded by a wild meadow and trees each pitch is flat and mown short for a good pitch. It is a friendly place. Clare and her staff are very helpful. There are very clean compost loos and effective showers. It is a "get away from it all" sort of place. Don't miss the legendary Philps pasty shop in the village!

Camping in Isles of Scilly AONB guide

Where to go

St. Mary’s & Tresco

The liveliest and largest island in Scilly—with all the transport links, restaurants, and shops—St. Mary’s unveils far-flung bays, windswept headlands, and meandering paths running along the coast and across the wide-open countryside. Excellent swimming, snorkelling, diving, and birdwatching opportunities abound, while boats zip over to neighbouring Tresco, with its subtropical, 19th-century gardens and powdery, Caribbean-worthy beaches.

St. Martin’s

Famous for hosting some of England’s outstanding blonde-sand beaches, the northernmost of the inhabited Scilly Isles is a delight to explore, and it even has its own tiny winery. Hike between sandy strands; go swimming, snorkelling, and diving off the sweeping bays; get the campfire going under the stars; and feast on super-fresh seafood plucked from the surrounding Atlantic.

Bryher

Tiny, rugged, and remote Bryher feels worlds away from everything, even its sister Scillies. The fun here is all about wandering the coast-hugging paths, clambering up to superb viewpoints, wandering past rustic-charm cottages, enjoying the secluded sweeping beaches and rocky coves, and stocking up on fresh local produce at street-side stalls.

St. Agnes

If camping with impossibly beautiful views across a deserted white-sand beach and rustling up meals with ingredients fresh from local farms sounds like exactly your thing, seek out the southernmost of the populated Scilly Isles. As well as secluded coves, aquamarine views, and flower-filled fields, isolated St. Agnes is known for prehistoric burial sites and the dreamy low-tide sandbar running across to the even more isolated Gugh island.
