Can anyone recommend a campsite in Cornwall which is close to the sea, or at least within a mile or two? Having walked some of the coastal path last week we're very keen to get back and sample some more

Hayley,

When my girls were small we tented/caravaned most of Cornwall, but one of the best was at Praa sands on the South coast between Marazion and Helston.

I can't find the actual park we stayed at on the internet but I did find this one that might be worth a look!

Hayley - If you like the very far west this is  Our Favourite campsite. No booking though so take pot luck.  There is another good site nearby

Nearest beaches are Porthcurno and even nearer the stunning Pednevounder beach (pictured) Which has  footpath access only with scramble down to it,and is clothes optional. (Watch the tides)

Oddly enough, the best little campsite I ever stayed on has never, to the best of my knowledge, ever appeared on any list. As a result, I can't tell you if it's still available! Anyway, it was at Zennor, and I can't remember if it cost £1 or £2, but it was a paltry fee. The main thing is, it was close to one of the best stretches of Cornish coast.

If you ever join the Backpackers Club, then you get a list of all sorts of odd campsites in places where you might not expect them, including wild camps. Unfortunately, I can't copy any of the details, because the punishment meted out by the club is either being beaten senseless with walking poles, or being slowly roasted over a camping stove!
