  • Quiet dog-friendly site with views of the coast and the Valency Valley
  • A 10-minute drive from Boscastle and 20 minutes from Tintagel Castle
  • Amenities like a farm shop, bakery, pubs and shops in Boscastle
Overlooking the wildlife-packed Valency Valley, Tophill Campsite isn’t exactly short on scenery. This peaceful site has some fine Cornish landscapes spread out in front of it, and there’s plenty more like that within a short drive of the site too. Boscastle, a historic fishing village, is 10 minutes’ drive away and further out is an assortment of sandy surfing beaches, family-friendly bays and more fishing villages. With good toilet and shower facilities, it’s nice and easy to freshen up before your big day out. You may want to visit the unique Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle, which has occult art and displays about the history of British magic. Or perhaps Tintagel Castle, 20 minutes’ drive away, might tempt? The historic clifftop castle, footbridge and Merlin’s cave make for an excellent (and historical) outing. With dogs and families welcome at Tophill Campsite, you won’t have to leave anyone behind. Grab the group’s favourite snack or barbecue foods from Boscastle, where there’s a farm shop and café, a bakery, shops and pubs. Barbecues and firepits are both permitted on site.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The cleanest, most modern toilet/shower block I've ever come across at a campsite. Really large field with plenty of flat space so easy to be away from any other campers but also still not too far from the toilets. The owner is very nice and friendly, and there's signs on the road for the last few turns to make it easy to find.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Site was lovely, huge field and we were the only campers for 3 of 5 nights. The shower, toilet, washing up area was really nice and clean. The owners were so friendly and are working hard to improve the facilities still further (one shower and 2 toilets, but as site wasn’t busy this was not an issue). Much of the site would give you a level pitch and the views are amazing. We had a great stay and would definitely return. Farm shop not far away and easy to get to everywhere we wanted to. We did Eden Project and Newquay which were both about an hour away. Would absolutely recommend.

Disliked Slightly hard to find but that could just be me! Owners were so helpful with directions so do call if you can’t find it. I think they’ll have signs soon.
