Camping and glamping escapes

Check out some of our favourite camping and glamping escapes in Cornwall!

Cornish Tipi Holidays

Glamping, camping, sleeping under the stars – you can pick and choose to suit your style and budget at Cornish Tipi Holidays. The site’s fully equipped tipis and tents are dotted around a wooded valley that boasts meadows, streams and a glorious fresh water lake, all just five minutes from fishing village Port Isaac, of Doc Martin and Fishermen’s Friends fame.

Take a canoe or rowing boat out onto the water, enjoy a spot of wild swimming or catch a delicious rainbow trout to cook on your campfire. Those looking for a little more adventure can enjoy sessions with local company Cornish Rock Tors, who specialise in activities like stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and coasteering.

Alternatively, if relaxing with a cold beer or great coffee and cake is more your style, simply head up the meadow and visit the Gastropod – the quirky onsite café run by the team from well-known Camel Trail café, Snails Pace. The team there offers a fantastic full Cornish breakfast, with vegetarian and vegan options to boot, as well as wood fired pizzas, perfect for the kids when you get home from the beach.
