Dog-friendly camping in Cornwall

Name: Cornwall
Address: Camping
Rating: 4.7975

Embark on the ultimate pet-friendly camping getaway to South West England amid the stunning landscapes of Cornwall. Bring the family dog on a hike along the 600-mile South West Coast Path, England’s longest waymarked trail. Soak in views of the Cornish coastline while passing through St. Ives, Penzance, and Falmouth, or cycle the serene Camel Trail with your loyal companion running alongside. Explore pet-friendly beaches like Fistral Beach in Newquay, Crantock Beach near Pentire Headland, and The Rumps in the northern part of Cornwall. From caravan parks with full hookups, toilets, showers, and comfort stations to rustic tent pitches that provide an off-the-grid experience, pet-friendly camping in Cornwall is abundant. Dog-friendly holiday parks stretch from St. Just on the Penwith Heritage Coast to Perranporth in the north and Looe to the east. Summer months around Cornwall are the warmest, when daytime temperatures in the low 20s are perfect for hiking, biking, or just playing fetch with your favourite pooch. If you're going camping in Cornwall, there’s no need to leave four-legged friends at home—we've sniffed out the best pitches for pets. Plus, dog-friendly attractions in Cornwall include The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the four miles of footpaths within the Eden Project (though the biospheres are off limits). And when it comes to eating out, plenty of pubs and eateries are happy to host well-behaved hounds.

Our collection includes plenty of options for glamping with your dog, too. If you’re a dog lover without any camping clobber or your pooch is used to being pampered, glamping could be the answer. It offers all the advantages of outdoor life without the hassle of having to put up a tent. As such a popular destination, Cornwall has a particularly good range of glamping pads, from safari tents to shepherds’ huts, tipis to treehouses—and plenty are dog-friendly too. From seaside retreats on the Cornish coast, to inland hideaways near Bodmin Moor, find the best dog-friendly stays in Cornwall now.

We're keeping things beautifully simple with clean toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area everything you need, without taking away the feeling of being close to nature. Bring your BBQ, hire one of our raised fire pits, or join us on one of our popular wood-fired pizza evenings. Don't forget to grab one of our famous s'mores kits... because camping simply isn't camping without gooey marshmallows! Perfectly placed on the Devon and Cornwall border, we're just a short drive from Bude's award-winning beaches, fantastic surfing, breathtaking coastal walks and endless family adventures.

I cannot reccomend Catherine and Will’s lovely campsite enough. Not only were the views incredible, the service was outstanding, we were always greeted with a smile and you really felt welcome and at ease here. The facilities were easy to use and accessible and we were kindly provided a local guide of things to do and places to see which is indispensable for someone who has never been to Cornwall before. We cannot wait to return again and encourage everyone else to visit too!

Such a beautiful, magical spot next to the river through the trees. Peaceful, felt like being in the heart of nature. The fairy trail took me back to my childhood. Felt really welcomed. Facilities good. Loved all the sheep, goats, chickens, bats, owls and the cows on the other side of the river. A truly wild experience. We will be back

This was our second stay at Cadgwith Camping, this time for 7 nights, and it was every bit as good as we remembered. We absolutely love it here and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The campsite is peaceful, relaxed and beautifully situated for exploring Cadgwith, the Lizard and the surrounding Cornish coast. It’s the perfect place to come back to after a day of walking, visiting beaches or exploring the local villages. Will and Kathy are fantastic hosts — incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful, and they really make the campsite feel special. It was lovely to see them again, along with Wilma, Chloe and Gerti, who are definitely part of the Cadgwith Camping experience! The whole site has such a friendly, laid-back atmosphere and is really well looked after. Cadgwith itself is a beautiful part of Cornwall, and the campsite gives you the perfect combination of peace and quiet while still being close to so many great places to visit. We had another brilliant week and will definitely be back again. A wonderful campsite, fantastic hosts and a place we’re delighted to have returned to. Thank you Will and Kathy for another great stay!

Beautiful little campsite. Car free camping so just campers and tents on the lakeside field. Everything is so pretty with lots of handcrafted wooden buildings. Composting toilets which are so clean. Great showers and washing up facilities. Pretty lights, new bar area which did morning coffee and breakfast baps. Some lovely glamping tents and woodland area. Pretty walk round the lake and lovely people, Tom told us how he has developed the site with such pride. We loved it so much we came back for a second night and will definitely come again. Recommend!

I would absolutely recommend this place. Serina and Craig have a lovely section of land for camping that is surrounded by trees wildflowers and wildlife. It is very peaceful and has some great spots to pitch up the tent. The showers are power full clean and hot. We also got the heads up for the pizza night freshly made by Serina and Graig which were 10/10 and they even made a vegan version for my partner. Our dog absolutely loved roaming around and swimming in the river that runs along camp and enjoyed the company of the sheep that roam around. We shall definitely be returning best campsite I’ve stayed at for a while. Many thanks Serina and Graig 🙂

I really liked the communal barn area. The garden areas with the ponds were lovely, and walking through the fields with the cows was also really nice. Shame I had such bad weather. The pizza and ice cream definitely made up for it.
