  • Relaxed farm site half a mile from the South West Coast Path
  • A 10-minute drive from Boscastle and 20 minutes from Tintagel Castle
  • Stunning views and a two-acre dog walk on site
If you're striding out on the South West Coast Path (and if you're staying in Cornwall or Devon you absolutely must), you might like to try an especially handsome section to tackle, the four-mile hike from Boscastle to kingly Arthur's old castle of Tintagel: it's utterly majestic. How timely, then, that the path and the route to Boscastle is a mere half-mile from Lower Pennycrocker Farm, in a coastal location most convenient for this traipse and other top-notch Cornwall attractions. (For example, it's a few minutes' drive from cracking surf at Crackington Haven and seven miles from much more of the foamy same at Bude.) The views in this part of the world – from both the site and the cliffs on its doorstep – are fit for a king, which is probably why the vicinity's been crowned as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty… Bodmin Moor is about seven miles away and if it's urbanity you're after, Boscastle is two and a half miles away and Wadebridge and Port Isaac within 30 to 40 minutes' drive respectively. All is royally relaxed on this laidback farm, with hot showers and spankingly clean amenities all round. A farm shop is about five minutes away by car… or you could wander down to it via the coastal path. Dogs are allowed at Lower Pennycrocker, but please keep them on leads and exercise them away from the farm. Handily, there is also a two-acre dog walk on site.

Liked Great size pitches. Costal views, friendly and helpful owner. Clean and functional facilities with great warm showers.
Location perfect for visits to the likes of bude, Boscastle & Tintagel.
Don't miss the Boscastle farm shop, food is superb and if you’re after a pub meal the cobweb inn was delicious in Boscastle too.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked I had the best spot in entire site I think.
I had peace and silence. I needed that.
Site is clean , showers very good. Toilets all super. My advice for future guests. Make sure your van is leveled. On first night I parked on little dip and slept with my head down 😂.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Colin was really friendly and hospitable. The site was clean and not at all cramped. Beautiful views over the valley and sea. Good showers.
We didn't have a sea view from our spot but we did have seclusion and quiet and a gorgeous view over rolling fields. The walk to Boscastle was stunning if scary in places and the million steps are hard work!

Liked I loved this campsite, everything you could ask for and more. . . . Stunning views, quiet, clean and tidy site.
Colin was fantastic, welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We had an issue with our water pump in our caravan and he got us up and running making our stay at Pennycroaker perfect and stress free. Kids had such a lovely time too. I’d thoroughly recommend, staying here so much so parents have booked this weekend to stay here with the family!!

Local attractions

Start off on that South West Coast Path near Lower Pennycrocker Farm: you'll be on the path within half a mile of base and the Boscastle to Tintagel Castle leg starts two and a half miles from there, passing splendidly named landmarks like Firebeacon Hill, Rocky Valley and Barras Nose. The nearest beach to the farm is Crackington Haven, less than three miles away, around a coastal village with a shop, two small cafés and a pub. The beach is lifeguarded in summer, as are the ones at Bude, a 20-minute drive away; both are sublimely good surfing spots and popular with families. Never tried it? Enrol in a surf school at Bude or several other beach locations within a short drive to find out more. If you're wandering just to Boscastle or stopping off there on the way to Arthurland, make time for a captivating afternoon in the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, apparently 'held in high esteem by the British occult community' (hurrah). A visit to the pottery shop and a picnic overlooking Boscastle's harbour should very much be on the cards too. Other options in the area include tackling the golf course at nearby Camelford (other decent courses are at Bude and Launceston), or a meander around Bodmin Moor: see if you can spy the famous beast.
