  • Dog-friendly Cornwall site bordered by woodlands outside Blackwater
  • St Agnes and Perranporth 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Falmouth
  • Easy access to A30 and A390; pub and bakery a couple of minutes' walk
Can’t decide between Cornwall’s north and south coasts? At Burrow Farm Camping you can bag yourselves a handy rural spot in the middle, then have both stunning stretches of coast to choose from on a daily basis… This friendly family-run site is just outside the village of Blackwater, in a strategic position close to the A30 and A390 for easy jaunts to all the county’s popular attractions. That location puts north-coast spots like St Agnes and Perranporth within a 10-minute drive and south-coast draws including Falmouth, Trebah Garden and St Michael’s Mount about half an hour away (with plenty more to choose from around both coasts and countryside too). Your friendly hosts at this lovely location are Darryl and Claire and their two dogs Bella and Beau, a charming canine pair who are always keen to say hello and are happy to share their home with visiting dogs. There’s always someone on hand to welcome guests to the site, help them settle in and dish out local recommendations (perhaps pointing you to nearby walks and bike rides, or just to the nearest pub…) This is a peaceful site with low-key facilities and plenty of privacy from its border of woodland. You’ll be staying on a well-maintained field with access to all sorts of essential facilities including toilets, showers, a washing-up area, a recycling point and fresh drinking water. A pub, bakery and chain coffee shop are a couple of minutes’ walk away, with another pub, a convenience store and a bus stop a mile away in the village centre.

Local attractions

The north coast is the slightly closer one here, so it makes sense to start there – perhaps with an outing to St Agnes, Chapel Porth beach or the sweeping sands at Perranporth (all 10 minutes’ drive) or a walk on the South West Coast Path from whichever point you choose. Brought bikes? The Saints cycle trail passes by the farm for easy trips to Perranporth or St Agnes). Looking south instead, you may like to visit the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth (half an hour), stroll around the 26 acres of subtropical plant life at Trebah Garden (35 minutes) or cross the causeway to St Michael’s Mount (half an hour). Back up on the north coast, St Ives (35 minutes) and Padstow (45 minutes) are well worth visiting for their arty vibe and food scene respectively. It’s not all about the coast of course – in between are places like Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm (10 minutes), Truro (15 minutes) and the Eden Project (45 minutes) – plus plenty of options for walks in the surrounding farmland and woodland.
