The best farm stays near Looe, Cornwall

Cornwall and camping go together like the clotted cream, jam and scones that this corner of England is known for. And if you’ve set your heart on a camping or Glamping Holiday in this far south-west county, Looe is a great place to base yourself. On the south coast of the county, this popular town sits at the mouth of the East Looe River, offering a seaside destination with a scenic route inland. Whether it’s the beaches and boats or the Cornish countryside that’s tempting you to Looe, camping and glamping help you make the most of Cornwall’s milder climate and sensational scenery. We’ve selected only the best campsites to feature in the Hipcamp collection but there’s such a range here that you’re sure to find something to suit you whether you want to pitch up with a backpack and a one-man tent for the night or set up the family tent for the entire summer. Our collection also features plenty of glamping sites in Looe and its surroundings; from shepherds’ huts with views of the countryside to yurts with toasty log burners.

Once you’ve pitched up at your campsite, you’ll be looking for thing to do in Looe. Head for the harbour to watch the fishing boats landing their daily catch and perhaps to sign up for a trip out to sea to try your luck or to visit the wildlife haven of Looe Island. Kids will love crabbing from the town’s Banjo Pier and rockpooling on Hannafore Beach, on the west side of the river. For sandcastle building and swimming, stick to the beach at East Looe, where there are gently sloping sands within easy reach of town. You can learn about the history of the town at the Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol, tuck in to fresh fish and chips and discover Kilminorth Woods. You can also hop aboard the Looe Valley Line trains for a scenic ride inland to the market town of Liskeard.

Family-friendly attractions include Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary on the outskirts of town and, slightly further afield, Porfell Wildlife Park. The Eden Project and Bodmin Moor, two of Cornwall’s best-known attractions, are also within 20 miles of Looe. For more ideas on days out from Looe, check out the Visit Cornwall website.

Set on the banks of the River Looe, with East Looe on one side and West Looe on the other, this characterful, picture-perfect harbour town is a perfect focal point for any camping holiday in South Cornwall. From camping pitches right on the edge of town to local campsites in the countryside, there are loads of great choices for campers visiting the area.

Emmetts on Exmoor is part of the highest farm on the moor, up at an altitude of 1250 feet with gorgeous views out over the surrounding scenery of the national park. You won't find a better place for spotting wildlife right from your tent! Red deer herds regularly frequent the moor which is opposite your pitch. Other wildlife in the area include cuckoos, woodpeckers, golden plovers, foxes and much more! This is a place that’s big on space but small on guest numbers (just four pitches which are not visible from one another), so there’s always plenty of space around to soak up the rural atmosphere, spot wildlife and play games. The site is unmanned so make sure you have all the info you need before setting off and it’s worth noting that Exmoor National Park was designated Europe’s first Dark Sky Reserve back in 2011, so you should hopefully be in for spectacular displays of stars by night too. Unsurprisingly, this is a great area for walks and mountain bike rides; other activities in the area include things like fishing, sailing and pony trekking. If you’ve still got any energy left after that little lot, the farm’s all-weather tennis court is available to hire for a game or two. There is a proper shower and loo available next to the car parking area and all pitches are approximately a 500 metre walk away from this area through woodland and across pasture. Remember the site is off-grid so it’s a good idea to remember to bring along a torch. Guests are welcome to bring along a barbecue or hire a firepit and purchase wood onsite. Simonsbath (5 minutes) has a pub and a tearoom and Exford and Withypool (both within 15 minutes) have good village shops for picking up any other supplies you might need. The Poltimore Arms and The Exmoor Forest Inn are two very local pubs that are well worth a visit.

Emmetts on Exmoor is part of the highest farm on the moor, up at an altitude of 1250 feet with gorgeous views out over the surrounding scenery of the national park. You won't find a better place for spotting wildlife right from your tent! Red deer herds regularly frequent the moor which is opposite your pitch. Other wildlife in the area include cuckoos, woodpeckers, golden plovers, foxes and much more! This is a place that’s big on space but small on guest numbers (just four pitches which are not visible from one another), so there’s always plenty of space around to soak up the rural atmosphere, spot wildlife and play games. The site is unmanned so make sure you have all the info you need before setting off and it’s worth noting that Exmoor National Park was designated Europe’s first Dark Sky Reserve back in 2011, so you should hopefully be in for spectacular displays of stars by night too. Unsurprisingly, this is a great area for walks and mountain bike rides; other activities in the area include things like fishing, sailing and pony trekking. If you’ve still got any energy left after that little lot, the farm’s all-weather tennis court is available to hire for a game or two. There is a proper shower and loo available next to the car parking area and all pitches are approximately a 500 metre walk away from this area through woodland and across pasture. Remember the site is off-grid so it’s a good idea to remember to bring along a torch. Guests are welcome to bring along a barbecue or hire a firepit and purchase wood onsite. Simonsbath (5 minutes) has a pub and a tearoom and Exford and Withypool (both within 15 minutes) have good village shops for picking up any other supplies you might need. The Poltimore Arms and The Exmoor Forest Inn are two very local pubs that are well worth a visit.

We loved our stay at Little Eden. This was my second visit and I can see it becoming a little home away from home in the future. It brings a lovely sense of peace driving up the driveway.

I have always loved Sweet Hill Farm. It’s a lovely relaxed campsite with sea views and amazing walks nearby. Also, being able to have a camp fire is fantastic. The showers are brilliant too. The only disappointment for me this year is that the compost loos have been replaced with horrible portaloos! Please bring back compost loos, they are so much nicer!

We had a great stay. We stayed for one night and used it as a base to cycle to Glastonbury and back. We were left to ourselves and trusted by the owner which we loved. Sites like this are the reason we bought out camper van. Thanks for a great stay.

This was my first time camping here and I will definitely return again. Whilst SatNav got me most of the way, the directions on Hipcamp made the last little bit of the journey much easier. I was welcomed warmly at the well-stocked little cafe, and given a map to show my how to get to the field I pitched in. The tracks on-site are full of large potholes - so definitely something to be mindful of, especially if you have extremely low-suspension on your car! However, take it slow and easy and all is well here. I had the most amazing view, from where I pitched up, over to Portland Bill lighthouse. Both sunset and sunrise were stunning. Facilities here are extremely basic - but it’s enough for those that simply need to get away from life for a while and sleep under the stars without all the creature comforts of home. Of course, there is a place for being able to have all the mod-cons available, but this is camping the way it should be done! I wasn’t here long enough to speak to any of the other campers, but everyone seemed relaxed and there was no loud music or anything played into the night, meaning I could drift to sleep easily enough at the end of the day. Thank you all.

This is where you will find all the facilities on site!

Wow, Little Eden is exactly what it says it is. It has everything for a wonderful camping experience. You are totally emmersed in Nature. You can hear the wild life and birds around you. You can use a fire pit and sit outside under the stars, whilst keeping warm. The decor is beautiful, the facilities are great. Showers, toilets, washing machine, fridge and anything else you can think of. I would definitely recommend Little Eden to everyone. Thank you so much Andy, Emily 🙏

Absolutely beautiful spot, even better than the photos make out. Lesley showed us a more sheltered pitch and it was perfect. The walking straight from the site was amazing and the views from littlehangman down into the town were stunning. Paul provided us with a big bucket of logs and we kept the fire going for ages. Would 100% recommend :)

We pretty much had the site to ourselves and loved the area, especially the nearby cider farms. Nice extra touches like Faith in Nature toiletries in the showers and useful having an undercover spot to do washing up and make tea/coffeem

This was my first time ever camping and I had a great time at this site, it's the perfect mix of rural, real camping with local amenities near enough especially for someone doing camping for the first time. Located right near the coast, it's a beautiful view, excellent facilities including showers and cafe. The only downside is that when I did arrive in the evening there was no one to greet us, even though the cafe should've been open at that time but other than that no complaints, wonderful hosts and would definitely go again.

My family and I stayed at this picturesque site for 2 weeks and we had an amazing time. Lesley and her husband Paul were wonderful hosts, always happy to chat and a fountain of knowledge about the area. They kept the facilities clean even over a busy bank holiday weekend. There were two flushing toilets and one portaloo (to save those at the top of the site from walking too far), two warm showers, washing up facilities and a lovely converted railway carriage that had electrical points and a fridge freezer. On the few days we had rain this carriage was a great space to eat or play board games. The site has outstanding views overlooking the valley with combe martin bay. Alongside it is a public footpath taking you to great hangman and further Exmoor trails. You can walk to combe martin from here but it is a steep hill back up so bear that in mind if you take a lot of stuff to the beach. Also being up so high you get the spectacular views but it can be windy on occasions so bear the weather in mind when choosing your spot (you are not assigned a specific position so you can move if the weather changes). What i really liked was that the site was not overcrowded even when fully booked as the hosts keep numbers low. This meant it was not noisy and you did not feel like you were on top of anyone. We would definitely come back here.

Lovely site, great amenities that were also eco friendly, river is right there for a swim or kayak and the morning views were beautiful. We were the only campers so it was super quiet but Jonathan was close by if we had any issues. Would have loved to have stayed longer!

Fabulous 3-field site, fantastically located and very quiet after the August Bank Holiday. Cleanest showers, toilets and guest hut with very friendly and helpful hosts. I'd say more, but it's supposed to be a secret.

Weekend Trip to Girt Down Camping

One of my favourite hip camps! Absolutely stunning view, lovely clean facilities and lots of space even on the bank holiday weekend. Walking straight out onto the coastal path was such a treat! Would come back in a heart beat.

From seaside to riverside, quayside to countryside, there's something for everyone here and whether you want to sit and watch the boats coming in as you eat your fish and chips or walk the South West Coast Path to the local beaches, you're sure to be in for a treat. Looe's best campsites range from locations right on the edge of town to countryside campsites within easy striking distance but, whatever you choose, it'll be a Cornish holiday to remember.
