Caravan sites near St Ives, Cornwall

·

A South West England coastal town in Cornwall, St. Ives is well known for its fishing, coastal walks, and majestic surfing beaches (especially Porthmeor). Park at a private coastal pitch on a pasture that accommodates motorhomes, or choose a pet-friendly caravan site near wild swimming spots for an off-grid experience. Drive across the peninsula to Penzance for an abundance of caravan campsites and rich maritime history, then visit Jubilee Pool, an art deco lido and geothermal heated pool. Nearby, motorhome campers can rest up at caravan pitches with electric hookups, laundry facilities, and wifi. Or, drive to the most westerly point of mainland England, Land's End, for dramatic cliffs and panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Waterfront caravan sites offering electric hookups, play areas for kids, and dedicated dog-walking zones can be found nearby. For more intrigue, drive an hour out to the Eden Project, an ecological wonderland and global garden where the biomes feature plants from diverse climates and environments. Then stay at a local holiday park that provides pitches with access to a fishing pond or indoor pool.

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.
