  • Back-to-basics tourer pitches at a plant nursery in Cornwall
  • Looe Beach and Millendreath Sea Pool five minutes’ drive
  • Off-grid site with a small café serving barista coffee and cakes
If you’re looking for a budget tourer option on your upcoming Cornish jaunt, the pop-up Calamazag Plant Nursery may suit you down to the ground. It’s five minutes’ drive from the pretty fishing village of Looe, in a handy spot that gives you a choice of beaches and coastal towns to explore. Pitches here are flat and spacious grass spaces for campervans or motorhomes, and they have lovely Cornish countryside views. The pitches are adjacent to the plant sales area, which has a small high-quality café cabin serving barista coffee, artisan drinks and cakes, as well as ice cream and Cornish cream teas. This is a back-to-basics park-up with no showers, electric hook-ups or toilet waste facilities on site, so you will need to be in a vehicle that is self-sufficient. The only facilities available are a portable loo and drinking water. There is a bus stop a short walk away for those who want to explore the area by public transport.

What customers say

This campsite offers a "back to basics" experience with beautiful views and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the friendly owners, the convenience of the location with easy access to Looe via a walk or bus stop, and the on-site cafe serving coffee and cakes. The adjacent plant nursery and occasional llamas add unique appeal. While pitches are described as spacious, some guests noted the site is on a main road, with occasional traffic noise. Basic facilities include a portaloo and water.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely basic site with a very warm welcome, local knowledge and great views. Walkable to looe so pitch up and get fit with great walk.
Didn’t get opportunity to test the lovely cakes as came sun/monday.

Disliked Only suggestion would be cleaning supplies sessionto support campers keeping portaloo clean and smelling nice 😀alternatively consider a composter toilet .

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely views and easy access to the site.

The pitches are very large, even if the site was full you wouldn't feel cramped.

Other reviews have mentioned traffic noise, while it is on the main road into Looe, I can't say it was particularly noticeable. Definitely didn't affect our sleep or enjoyment of the site.

Very good communication.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked A really beautiful, basic and small campsite for motorhomes. Stephen gave us a really warm welcome to his peaceful and picturesque site which offers grass pitches (not quite level so bring ramps) fresh water, rubbish and recycling, plus a portaloo. What makes this site special is the business is also a plant nursery with a café onsite, with covered outdoor seating and delicious cakes. We enjoyed the variety of birds to watch, and if you're not a twitcher, there are llamas on site too! The site is walkable in half an hour to and 40 mins from the beautiful town of Looe. Highly recommend. 🌺

Liked Lovely camp site and nursery. Gorgeous views from our pitch. About 20 to 30 minute walk to Looe downhill. Great host very helpful.

Disliked It stated no shower so we were aware of this but it would have been perfect if there was a shower there.
