  • Quiet adults-only site in the middle of the Land's End peninsula
  • Spacious pitches marked with hedges; smart modern bathroom block
  • A 10-minute drive from Sennen Cove and the Land's End viewpoint
Want to run away from it all but avoid the crowds of Cornwall in clement weather? Head to the end of the country and pitch up near smashingly scenic Land's End at family-run Cardinney Caravan and Camping Park. This is a site for those into their scenery: the four and three-quarter acres of grounds have been carefully landscaped to be filled with flowers, trees and shrubs, alongside roomy pitches that are thoughtfully laid out and individually marked with hedges. Award-winning Sennen Cove – full of surfing spots, wildlife watching and stunningly scenic sands – is less than three miles away. Cardinney's facilities include a well-stocked shop that sells Calor gas alongside grocery essentials. It's also got a fully equipped launderette and a smart luxury bathroom block (newly opened for the 2021 season).

Electric grass pitch

Liked Toilets & showers were very clean & modern. The pitch was very private with hedging on 3 sides. Electric & water supply appears to be on each pitch with a drain below the tap so no muddy patches. Entry & exit was via a barrier with automatic number plate recognition. Enjoyed our stay.

Disliked Dogs are not allowed in the toilet block, it would have been nice to have an outside hose to rinse the dog down after he had been in the sea but we didn't see one. Also shop had very little in it, although there is a farm shop a mile or so away.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Just come back from a lovely stay at Cardinney campsite. It was lovely and peaceful. Very close to near by villages of sennen, st just and lands end. The bathroom were clean and modern. There was even a dog exercise field to let the dogs stench their legs which was great. Everyone was friendly and can’t fault the campsite.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The cleanliness of the toilet blocks and all facilities. It is a quiet site with well organised pitches with hedging to separate pitches into double or single pitches which adds to the privacy and is all maintained to the highest standards. The staff were very helpful and friendly

Good size pitch

Self activation security barrier so could come and go as we pleased.

Local attractions

Have a look at the leaflets in Cardinney's information hut to see the best of what's nearby: sandy beaches, surfing, golf, fishing, horse riding and seaside towns and villages are all within five miles. Land's End first, of course… of all the scenic spots in Cornwall, this is among the most spectacular, and you'll probably need a couple of days at least roaming around the beaches, coves and cliffs here... Secluded Sennen Cove and its sparkling sands are a first stopoff for many, who come to soak up the sun on its sands or tackle the waves on its surf. Whitesands Beach is also well regarded for surf and joins up with the mile of beach at Gwenver where the waves are a bit stronger (all three beaches are lifeguarded in summer). On the cliffs, many suggest that one of the best Land's End occupations is just to sit and watch the waves crashing below, but if you're itching for a hike, visit the visitors' centre for a list of walks around the area, or the RSPB Wildlife Discovery Centre just below the famous Land's End signpost to find out what species you can see. In the evening, the famed open-air Minack Theatre at Porthcurno is probably one of this area's best-known manmade things, set into the cliffs and listed as one of the most spectacular theatres in the world. The season runs from May to September, but tickets are available to look around the theatre and gardens during the day. Cardinney Caravan and Camping Park is an obliging base for other much-visited Cornish attractions like National Trust houses and gardens and yet more spectacular beaches: try Godolphin at Helston, Flambards theme park, or lying on the sands at Marazion, Mousehole or along the coast at St Ives.
