Secluded four-acre site in a quiet valley by the hamlet of Comford
Central spot between Truro and St Ives; 15 minutes from each
Laidback dog-friendly site; village pub within walking distance

To Cornwall’s north coast for the day, or the south coast? Both are equally easy from Penndra Campsite, in a rural spot 10 minutes’ drive from Redruth – it’s roughly halfway between the two coastlines, so you can drive to either in a matter of 15-20 minutes or so. In fact, this secluded four-acre site just outside the hamlet of Comford is in a most handy position for getting out to all sorts of Cornwall attractions including Trebah Gardens, Land’s End, the Eden Project, Newquay Zoo and the Minack Theatre. Wherever you roam by day, later on you can come back to this small family-run site to relax and recharge your batteries ready to head out again the following morning. Dogs, kids and groups are all welcome here, as are barbecues and campfires (in the designated areas only, please). Facilities include a washing-up area, unisex portable toilets, a designated ladies’ toilet and a unisex hot-water shower. If you’re planning a barbecue, pick up bits from the village shops in Lanner or Ponsanooth (five minutes’ drive) or supermarkets in Redruth. Alternatively, head into Comford for a meal and a couple of Cornish ales at the local pub, which welcomes dogs and has a Roskillys ice cream parlour for a sweet treat too.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Have stayed at this site twice now this year. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent with amazing showers and the toilets all have sinks and mirrors. There's a small shop onsite that just offers the basics but the prices are very fair and if there's no-one about it works on an honesty box system. Would totally recommend to anyone.

Disliked: The door to the fridge shed needs raising a bit to avoid banging you head - though that's my fault as well for being careless.

Local attractions

So, to those coastlines… Cornwall’s north and south coasts are both full of gorgeous places to visit, so it’s worth making time for both. On the northern side, start with the beaches at Porthtowan (15 minutes) or Portreath (20 minutes), then head to the stunning sands of Gwithian (25 minutes). The excellent town of St Ives (half an hour) should be on the schedule too, for its mix of coast views and top-notch art galleries. Heading south instead, stop off at Pendennis Castle (20 minutes) and Trebah Garden (20 minutes) en route to the sands at Maenporth beach (15 minutes). Venture a little further and you’ll hit the spectacular Lizard Peninsula with a drive of about 40 minutes or so. For more of Cornwall’s top days out, look at Newquay Zoo (25 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes), Eden Project (45 minutes) and Land’s End (50 minutes).
