Weekend Trip to LEE MEADOW FARM CAMPING

Very accommodating and friendly. Beautiful well equipped campsite. Great stay

Weekend Trip to Hideaway Camping

Hideaway camping was a wonderful stay. So many interesting corners to explore. Campsites were spread out around a big field with plenty of spots to choose from. Toilets were clean and a sink was provided for washing up. For meals there were plenty of picnic tables and an undercover area. It truly was peaceful being there.

2 nights at Aldridge Mill

Nice place to get away from everything. Only the sound of the birds and the stream. Lovely place.

Weekend Trip to The Enchanted Wilderness

We had such a lovely, peaceful stay at Jonathan’s. Our pitch was perfectly tucked away with a wonderful view of the river. Our three year old loved exploring and seeing the chickens and ducks roaming around the farm. Fresh eggs for breakfast were very much enjoyed! Jonathan was a brilliant host, friendly and helpful and great communication. Would highly recommend for a peaceful get away if you like a simple wild camping set up. The location is magical, we hope to return one day soon!

Weekend Trip to Willow Valley Holiday Park

Really nice break over Easter. Becky and team were welcoming and helpful. The shepherds hut was brilliant. Thank you..

3 nights at Willow Valley Holiday Park

We had a great stay in the bluebird bus, our little boy especially loved it. Nice touches such as the welcome bag, biscuits, some tea and small squash. Logs and lighters for the chiminea and log burner all added to a fantastic stay. The campsite itself was really peaceful and relaxing. The toilets and showers seemed to be brand new and really clean. Great location for the beaches and walks. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Aldridge Mill

Perfect spot for peace and quiet. Lovely back to basics camping. Can’t wait to return

4 nights at Ro Dama Community Farm

This site is definitely for those who like their thrills cheap and cheerful! I was camping alone (female) and I felt very safe here. Also, looking at previous reviews I'm pleased to announce that there are still very friendly dogs and that the geese have their own kingdom behind a gate! Perks of this campsite are the secluded spots on the terraces that afford a lot of privacy and quiet. There was a firepit at my pitch and wood is available (£5 cash). It is also a straightforward 45 minute walk to St Gothian Sands through the backlanes and from there at low tide you can walk along the beaches to Hayle or follow the Coast Path at the top . My warning is to anyone who needs luxury when camping - this is not the spot! There are two compost loos, one sink and one solar shower. The facilities are functional and do the job, but they are rough around the edges! The site is a testament to the ingenuity of the people living there as the facilities are all handmade. The upside is that nature is minimally disturbed and you can wake up to the sound of bright bird song.

3 nights at The Enchanted Wilderness

Lovely campsite!! Just how we like it! At one with nature and spectacular views!! The host was lovely and was easy to contact.

3 nights at Willow Valley Holiday Park

Our stay in Bluebird exceeded our expectations! The bus is fantastic and an incredible first glamping experience for our 2year old & 6year old boys! The bus was clean, comfortable and unique and the outdoor space was lovely, the boys loved toasting marshmallows in the firepit. Becky and John were wonderful hosts, friendly and welcoming & it’s clear they have put a lot of love into the whole site. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quirky glamping experience with your family!

3 nights at Ro Dama Community Farm

A wonderful, special place. The spot was secluded and had a lovely view of the valley. I was incredibly charmed by the use of the farm land, hanging out with the animals (warning for people who don’t like geese) and learning about the different workshops and community gatherings they host here. Thank you everyone at Ro Dama for the hospitality, I felt very welcome. If I hadn’t come in the middle of January I would have extended my stay for a fair while longer. Also the water was delicious.

Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping

168 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents20 acres · Cornwall, South West England

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.
