Shepherd's huts near Polzeath

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.

This peaceful, sheltered site has a special character. The site is the ideal place to unwind with plenty of safe space, a meandering river and friendly atmosphere. It offers 4 acres with facilities, 7 acres of wilderness, shower block, level pitches, picturesque river, children’s playground and has been rated AA 4 star gold pennant. Becky and John both love Cornwall and fell in love with the site as soon as they saw it and it provided the perfect opportunity for a new challenge. Having only recently taken over at Willow Valley in the Summer of 2024, there are always ongoing improvements being made so make sure you keep in touch. Any returning campers will be glad to know we aren’t changing the campsite itself though. Why would we when it is already so perfect!

Shepherd's huts near Polzeath guide

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.
