Hello and thank you for choosing Fat Apples Wild Camp Site! Less than half a mile from Porthallow beach, our small family run wild campsite has around ten pitches spread throughout an old Cornish woodland, located just behind Fat Apples Café. We are also close to the half way mark of the Southwest Coast Path! The village of St. Keverne is a five minute drive and has a Spar, baker, butcher, two pubs and a newsagents. When open, the café serves breakfast and lunches, and also has essentials for sale. Please check our café opening days as you will need to bring your own supplies if you are staying on the days we are closed! The campsite is open seven days a week from April to the end of October (weather permitting). The camp pitches are wild, and a short distance away we have a coin operated (hot) shower, WC and cold-water dishwashing sink. There is no vehicular access to the site, cars are left about 100 yards away in our yard. We have wheelbarrows to help unload kit. Throughout the year we run a variety of events, such as, music nights, courses, an ongoing bookswap and private parties. Our camp area is becoming well known for outdoor retreats and educational visits. We allow small campfires on site in fire pits or baskets. Logs and basket are £13.50. The café is open (9.30am-4.00pm). Thursday to Sunday from the 5th March 2026. Wednesday-Sunday April- End of August. Thursday-Sunday September and October. We also run BBQ evenings on a pop-up basis in the summer season. It is a good idea to book breakfast or lunch in the café as it gets very busy. The Village of Porthallow has a lovely pub on the beach called The Five Pilchards Inn. In calm weather it is great swimming, snorkelling and kayaking/boating area.
