Halgarrack Farm Hideaway

We are an informal and friendly site in a gorgeous part of Cornwall.
These bell tents are located in a peaceful five-acre field, so there's ample space to spread out, explore and play. 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.

St Kew, England · 83 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
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.

Trowbridge, England · 51 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen. The cafe serves cream teas from Easter to the end of September and pizzas are sold in evenings during the summer months.
Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling. Historic Bradford-on-Avon is only a 5 minute drive and the City of Bath 15 minutes. For those who enjoy more rural pleasures, 200 metres from the campsite Farleigh Hungerford boasts the only river swimming club in the country, and you can become an instant member for a very small fee.

We love it at Goren Farm! It was our second time and it was as lovely as it was before. We stayed in Bluebell this time, which had the most beautiful views. The land is gorgeous, and has everything you need including communal warm showers, compost loos, phone charging point and a fridge if needed. It feels so private, which we love. Will definitely come back! And definitely recommend to others.

What an amazing campsite! Perched on top of the cliff, it offers breathtaking sea views and is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. You couldn't ask for a better spot to sit back and watch the sunset.
The facilities were spotless, with hot showers, flushing toilets, and a well-maintained dishwashing area. I especially loved the little touches, like the flowers and paintings around the facilities. They made the whole place feel so warm, welcoming, and full of character.
One tip: check the weather before you book. Because the campsite is right on top of the cliff, it can get very windy, so make sure you bring a tent that's suitable for those conditions.
And I can't forget to mention our lovely neighbours, the sheep! They were a charming addition to an already unforgettable stay.
We'll definitely be back!

The campsite is very conveniently located right on the coast path with some amazing views and stunning sunsets. There’s a lovely little cafe and fab shower facilities. My only complaint would be that there aren’t compost loos as it says in the description, they are all portaloos which is a bit of a shame :( we were camped near one and it did smell a bit. The next morning the portaloos were emptied but before 8am in the morning which I thought was a bit too early and woke us up!

Lovely simple site, well located and fabulous views. We had to be in ‘waypark’ the smaller field as our short wheel base transit was deemed too large for summer park - cons, this field has no loos, showers or drinking water - pro’s - we had the field to ourselves - the view is still pretty good, and it’s only a short walk over to Summerpark for what are actually decent showers - and reasonable composting loos that are well kept.

We loved this beautifully set out campsite. We stayed in the middle field in our campervan for 4 nights. Secret spot camping is a little gem and just what we love, plenty of space, clean facilities, friendly hosts and last but not least - beautiful gardens with plenty of little resting places to enjoy the wild life and pond.
We recommend this highly

Lovely campsite with stunning views across the clifftop. The facilities were excellent, with proper loos and showers which were kept clean and stocked up. We were able to hire a fire pit, which was great to sit around in the evening.
Check in/check out was super easy.
Beautiful walks can be done straight from the campsite.
We will definitely be back and would 100% recommend.

The campsite was clean a visitors mostly respectful. Remember to bring your 50p for the shower and liked the set up.
Unfortunately, there was a group who were making loads of noise all night on the second day. It would be cool if someone was around to get them to turn it down or maybe a number to call. Just some feedback to consider.
Other than that had a great stay and would recommend.

I absolutely loved camping on Charlottes land, I came back for another night! From the gorgeous views to the insane stars at night! 😍
It took a little while to get used to the portable toilets but the rest of the facilities are great for the price. It’s £1 for 3 mins hot water shower and you’d be surprised how much you can get done in 3 mins! 😂 There’s charging ports too to charge your devices and you can choose what field you want to camp in. I recommend faraway field for the views 🫶🏻 I’ll definitely be back. Thank you Charlotte!
