Peaceful and dog-friendly family-run site in the village of Delabole
Port Isaac and Trebarwith beach 10 minutes' drive; 20 mins to Polzeath
Two local pubs, a shop and bus services within a short walk

Cornwall’s countryside is just as lovely as its coastline, and you’ll be in prime position to explore both when you stay at Blackthorn Campsite, a family-run site in the village of Delabole. This lovely location is both peaceful and convenient – there are farm animals to meet on site, and the place is surrounded by rural footpaths where you (and your dog, if you’ve got a well-behaved one that you’d like to bring) can get out for a walk. It’s not a remote place though, as it’s just a few minutes’ walk from the village’s shop, two pubs and bus stop (for services to all sorts of places including Bodmin, Wadebridge and Port Isaac). Getting out to explore north Cornwall is easy from this location as lots of top coastal spots are a short drive away, including Boscastle, Tintagel Castle and the fabulous Polzeath beach, a surfers’ hotspot, and the wild landscapes of Bodmin Moor are close by as well. Back at base, things have been kept nice and simple with just the essential facilities in place – you’ll have access to drinking water, toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a grey water/chemical toilet disposal point. Barbecues and firepits are permitted as long as they’re kept off the ground.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Gem of a site! Very quiet oasis, off the beaten track but still close to good routes and not far from Port Isaac. Highly recommend for any exploration of the North Cornish coast.

Local attractions

Which way first? The coast is a big draw for most visitors here – and rightly so, as it’s rather spectacular. Perhaps start with a trip to Trebarwith beach (10 minutes’ drive), a family-friendly spot with plenty of sandy space and rockpools to poke around in. After that, maybe over to Daymer Bay (25 minutes) to stroll through the sand dunes or to Polzeath (20 minutes) to give your surfboard some action. Elsewhere along the coast, you could visit popular Port Isaac (10 minutes), which found fame as the setting for the TV series Doc Martin, or learn about all sorts of intriguing goings-on at The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle (20 minutes). There’s also Tintagel Castle (20 minutes), an English Heritage site with a stunning clifftop location and links to Arthurian legend. Turning inland, you’d be wise to spend some time exploring Bodmin Moor, perhaps climbing Brown Willy (35 minutes) for views from the highest point in Cornwall, or visiting Bodmin Jail Attraction (half an hour) for an insight into the prisons of the past (and their ghostly inhabitants…)
