  • Back to basics farm site half an hour’s walk from Crackington Haven
  • A 15-minute drive from Boscastle and 20 minutes from Tintagel Castle
  • Footpath to the coastal path and firepits and wood available
Get your surfboards waxed and the bucket and spades packed, for Crackington Campsite is a relaxed farm site in excellent rural surrounds with proper loos and an excellent hot shower. Draw up a map and no doubt it won’t be long until you’re circling or bookmarking beaches, castles and coastal walks. The closest beach, Crackington Haven, is just half an hour’s walk or a five-minute drive from the farm for surfing sessions and rockpool rummaging followed by a nice portion of something from the bistro-style café and family-friendly pub by the beach. The site should tick more boxes… Back to basics? Yes. Dog-friendly. Yes. Permits campfires? That, too – there are even firepits and wood available. There’s a footpath over the farm straight to the coastal path, which branches off southwest towards Boscastle or northeast towards Widemouth Bay and Bude’s beaches. The North Cornish coast has lots to tempt guests, especially Tintagel Castle 25 minutes’ drive away. The location also checks out for conveniences, not just beach days and outings across the coast; there’s a village shop 10 minutes’ walk away and a village playground within the same distance.

What customers say

This quiet, rural campsite offers lots of space and freedom to pitch where you please. Guests love the friendly owner, clean, basic but sufficient facilities, and hot showers. Enjoy the peaceful vibe and easy access to a lovely walk to Crackington Haven. Mostly positive, with a few comments on price and basic amenities, but many want to come back.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Pleasant informal site in a great location.

Disliked We stayed on a busy weekend, there were a few too many people camping for the facilities provided. At least one more shower is needed.

Grass too long, needed a cut.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Rural peaceful site, a large field, pitch where you like. Facilities are simple but clean: 1 x shower & 2 loos available plus dish wash, recycling and bin area. Lovely walk down into Crackington Haven, details on a poster in the shower area. No WiFi but 4G/5G works fine.

Local attractions

Boots on, and off to Boscastle (15 minutes’ drive) you go. The boots will come in handy for pottering around the trails to Valency Valley and its ancient woodland. One of the most famed spots in Boscastle is the spectacular Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (although whether it can possibly be more spellbinding than a cream tea or pasty from the harbour café is open for debate). Bude (20 minutes), a little to the north, has a big choice of surfing beaches and some golf courses. Summerleaze is the town beach, but keep on checking out your options, which also include Sandymouth Bay Beach (half an hour) owned by the National Trust and backing onto the splendid Coombe Valley or Widemouth Bay (20 minutes). Down south, take off for Port Isaac (35 minutes), a filming location for the TV series Doc Martin, and home to a just-stunning harbour. It’s just above Polzeath (40 minutes), a favourite among the surfing crowds.
