It's a peaceful, quiet site, and we were treated to an evening of watching swallows followed by an incredible moon rise. We wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Just returned home from a lovely week at Roskilly’s, and we had a great time! Lovely site with good facilities, the staff really helpful as well. The restaurant/ice cream shop across the road makes it me, the food is lovely and the entertainment in the evening is varied and really good.

2 nights at Elm Farm Camp, Cafe & Cycle hire

We had such a wonderful two-night stay at Elm Farm with two friends and our two dogs. The location was absolutely perfect, just a short drive to lots of beautiful beaches, with Porthtowan being a real highlight for us as it brought back childhood memories of visiting. The facilities at Elm Farm were excellent and made our stay really comfortable. The hosts were so welcoming and attentive, and they went out of their way to give us loads of great recommendations for places to explore nearby. One of the best surprises was discovering their café on the bike hire side, the food was absolutely amazing and not to be missed! We couldn’t have asked for a better base for our trip. We’d definitely recommend Elm Farm to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a fantastic location, and we’ll certainly be returning.

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!

2 nights at Livit, Glamping by the coast

Amazing quiet spot (except for some noisy sheep!), plenty of space per pitch & lovely sea views. excellent shower and toilet facilities a very short walk away. Picnic bench and fire pit and wood provided. The tent itself was amazing - looked brand new, on a raised deck which kept it dry and clean & chairs to sit and watch the sun rise with a cuppa, comfy warm beds, rugs, blankets, hot water bottles all provided. Cute little “kitchen” hut with a gas hob and kettle and pans and crockery and cool box - everything we needed for a short break was thought of and provided. Great communication with the hosts beforehand as well. Would highly recommend and love to return if we’re in the area again.

What a wonderful find. Relatively close for a camping site to lots of local amenities and all of the wonderful opportunities that Croyde, Saunton and Wollacombe offer for jut getting out there and calling. The campsite is well maintained and good value. Steve is so knowledgeable and informative and will guide you through what to do and see.

What a beautiful spot. Very relaxed, child friendly and fun. They’ve created the perfect balance between being in nature and having the mod cons that make camping easy - like hot showers and a kettle. We’ll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Camping Field

Richard is such a nice guy and goes out of his way to help, including helping us with our electric hook up. The site has really lovely views and was very peaceful. We had a really great, relaxed visit. Close to dog beaches and bouldering at Helman’s Tor. We also really enjoyed the eggs! Definitely recommend if you want peace and quiet with a view

Weekend Trip to Roskilly Camping

So it’s fair to say that as adults with no kids we probably should have realised how busy the site would be and how many children would be there! That said the campsite itself is well laid out and the facilities are lovely and clean, there was some queuing for toilets and showers due to the numbers on site, so best to use before rush hour! We had an amazing meal at the restaurant and pre ordered the chefs special which did not disappoint! Staff were great! Very attentive and the local band performing had us all up and dancing the night away! Location wise you have easy access to the SW Coastal path and we had a great walk into the village of Coverack. So all in all a great stay and we will certainly go back, even if just for the food ❤️ but not till the kids are back at school 🤣 👍

4 nights at West Kellow Yurts

The yurt was lovely, although on the small side for our family of 5. The shared kitchen was well equipped, and we very much enjoyed meeting all the other campsite guests. There are a few activities on site, which was really enjoyable for the kids: jeu de boules, darts, football golf and a swing. It's a good location to visit Eden Project, Discovery 42 (hands-on science museum in Bodmin), and beaches.

The best farm stays near Port Isaac guide

Where to go

Tintagel

Tintagel Castle is the storied birthplace of King Arthur. It sits atop a rocky outcrop not far from Merlin’s Cove, a beach grotto named after the legendary wizard. A number of holiday parks with tent and caravan pitches serve the area, offering campers easy access to natural and historic attractions. Gaze upon the 60-foot St. Nectan’s Waterfall, seek respite at Bossiney Cove, and take in unique coastal rock formations, like Ladies Window near Boscastle.

Polzeath

A short drive west of Port Isaac, Polzeath Beach boasts great waves that are suitable for surfers of varying skill levels. A popular spot for sunbathing, as well, the sandy beach is surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Take in dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean at Pentire Point and The Rumps, sighting local wildlife like peregrine falcons and seals. Partake in more water sports at Rock Beach or seek some peace and quiet at secluded Lundy Bay. Then stay at luxury static caravans or pull up to motorhome pitches with water views.

Hartland Devon Heritage Coast

A bit farther north of Port Isaac, Hartland Devon Heritage Coast is home to several storied villages surrounded by headland paths, dramatic cliffside cascades, and sprawling coastal views. The tranquil escape is ideal for reconnecting with nature while staying in tents, caravans, and motorhomes on private campsites that sit seaside or on working farms. Wake up and follow the iconic South West Coast Path to Blackchurch Rock, a spectacular rock formation near Windbury Hill that’s accessible during low tide.

When to go

Coastal weather in South West England can be unpredictable, but temperatures tend to be milder and rain is less frequent from late spring to early autumn. Daytime highs in summer tend to peak around 20℃ when crowds are at their busiest. Fishing for local species like mackerel, bass, and conger eel is optimal during warmer months, as well.
