Camping, touring and holiday parks in Cornwall

 

There are hundreds of places to camp or take your touring caravan in Cornwall and parks have evolved far beyond the basic shower block and shop approach of the past. Click here for a comprehensive page of Camping, Touring and Holiday Park in the county. Each advert provides a good guide to what each client offers.

  
Electric hook-ups for vans and power packs for tents all feature on the modern park, and many have fully serviced touring pitches. Family facilities, too, are the norm and larger parks often provide free entertainment for kids and adults in the park clubhouse. These parks often offer self-catering accommodation as well as camping and touring and are usually close to popular beaches.
There's still plenty of choice if you're looking for a more peaceful time. Smaller parks offer most conveniences, but cater for visitors who want to enjoy all the peace and quiet that a Cornish holiday can offer.
  • Tent parks and campsites such as Pennace Mill , nr Falmouth cater primarily for campers.
  • Holiday Parks, like Sandymouth Bay or Wooda Farm Holidays, both in Bude, cater for those looking for a holiday caravan, bungalow, chalet or lodge - as well as touring and camping. Most of these are large parks located on the coast and have 5-8 pages each of information with prices.
  • The facilities on touring parks - such as Rose Hill or Lanyon Park - both near Redruth, can be as comprehensive as those on the larger holiday parks. Again, most of these sites have 3-5 pages of information with prices. In most instances they are located slightly further inland but often only 10-15 minutes in the car will get you to the beach.

Around Cornwall - Travel Information

Travel Information - Click here for planes, trains and automobiles
Cornwall is a beautiful and multi-faceted county: Though it is only about 70 miles long and under 50 miles across at its widest point, it has the longest and, perhaps, most varied coastline of any English county. Dark, high cliffs punctuated by wide sandy beaches in the North give way in the South to wide flooded tree-lined river valleys. The interior has just as much variety. From atmospheric moorland haunted by the iron-age relics that touch the skyline to picturesque villages in deep wooded valleys, Cornwall has it all.

pages on Chycor Cornwall

Once you're here, you'll want to explore everything. Check out the following pages on Chycor Cornwall to find out the best places to go and things to see.

North Cornwall's picturesque market town - and one-time capital of the county - Launceston is often missed by visitors heading west on the A30, and that's a great pity as the town has much to recommend it. With it's own Norman Castle, a thriving music scene and a genuine Cornish ambience about the town.

At the other end of the county, Penwith is as far west as you can get without getting on a boat. On its North Coast, you will find wild moors, tiny villages and stunning seascapes. Eerie monoliths and stone circles populate moors with strange sounding names like Woon Gumpus Common and Carn Kenidjack.
The quality of light that Cornwall is famed for is here - the same light that has drawn artists to St Ives and Newlyn since the turn of the twentieth century and also inspired the construction of the Tate Gallery in 1993. Even if you have no interest in art, the Tate, St Ives is a stunning modern building inside and out.

about Penzance and Penwith
The Minack Theatre
The magnificent Minack Theatre.
On the South Coast, Penzance serves as market town for the whole area. Nearby, at Marazion, the impressive island of St Michael's Mount is moored a few hundred yards offshore, though you can reach it by causeway at low tide. Also of note is The Minack Theatre, an auditorium on a cliff with evening performances throughout the summer. There's more information on all of these places - and more - in our Penzance Travel Information pages, an extensive online travel guide covering Penzance and Penwith. It includes sections on towns and attractions in the area, travel tips and other tourist information.

The Perranporth area on the North Coast is often overlooked in favour of the bright lights of nearby Newquay, which is a pity as the area - often known as Poldark Country after the books by Winston Graham (and the 1970s TV series) has plenty to offer. Perranporth has some of the best surf on the North Coast, while St.Agnes, a small and picturesque town and also a surfer's haunt of some note - has plenty to recommend it away from the beach.
Down further down the coast is Porthtowan and we have a brief guide to this surfing village and how to get there.

Cornwall's South Coast is rightly famous for its beautiful wooded valleys, rivers and beaches, the Roseland Peninsula is an example. This slim finger of land lies south of Truro and to the East of Falmouth. We have a dozen pages about this beautiful and unspoilt area, with information on the villages, beaches, walks, ferries and places to visit
