Dog-friendly site, 25 minutes’ walk to dog-friendly Perranporth beach
A 20-minute drive to Newquay; 40 minutes to Eden Project and Flambards
On-site bar and kitchen, plus acres of space for games

Keen to explore the north Cornwall coast? Anchor down at the family-friendly Anchor Barrow Campsite, with lovely views over the Cornish countryside and the coast a short stroll away. This location is an excellent one for seaside stays – the three-mile beach at Perranporth is about five minutes’ drive away, or you can access the sands and the town’s amenities via three footpaths that run from the site (or from the bus stop just outside the site). Other Cornish hotspots like Newquay, Gwithian and St Ives are within easy reach too, should you fancy venturing further afield. Back at base, there’s a fine collection of facilities to make life easy and comfortable. All the basics are covered here: the bathrooms are modern and immaculately kept, and guests also have access to a launderette, a washing-up area and a kitchen corner with communal fridges/freezers and a microwave. On top of that, there are secure device charging lockers, a car charging port (extra charge) and a large secure paddock where dogs can have a run around. If it’s the kids that need a run around, that’s no issue – this site has acres of green space for playing, along with a full-size football pitch for more organised games. Meanwhile, if it’s relaxation time that you’re after, that’s easily sorted too. Anchor Barrow has an on-site bar selling a range of Cornish ales, ciders and spirits, and a kitchen that serves up breakfasts and coffees every morning and hosts fabulous feast nights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. All feast nights are accompanied by a local musician. If you’d rather go down the self-catering route you can bring or hire firepits, with wood available from the site shop (which also sells various essentials and Cornish goodies). A large indoor barn space has seating if it’s not outdoor dining weather.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Probably the best campsite we've ever stayed in in the UK. Clean, organised, well kept, the shop and bar open most of the day and they have a barn for social activities (table tennis, board games, etc)
The live music and food is awesome.
Good value campsite.

Disliked The only thing we didn't like is that the no electric pitches are unmarked. This caused a slight issue as when we were out someone put their tent up right next to ours and there was no space for our car to park by the tent.

Local attractions

Once you’ve got to grips with the waves at Perranporth beach, make your way to Newquay (20 minutes’ drive) for some of Cornwall’s most famed surfing spots, including Fistral beach. While in town, you could also visit Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium for some animal encounters, or hurtle down some waterslides at Waterworld Leisure Centre. If you’ve had your fill of ocean air, you can swap beach ambles for woodland wanders with a stroll around the 250-acre Tehidy Woods country park (20 minutes). Dogs are welcome here and, with more than nine miles of path to plod, there’s plenty of peaceful woodland and pretty lakes to explore. Dogs can also accompany you to Trelissick Garden (25 minutes) – while they’re not allowed inside the house or gardens, they can tag along on roams of the surrounding parkland, including the three-mile Woodland Walk circuit. Speaking of gardens, a visit to the Eden Project (40 minutes) is a must while in Cornwall – the huge indoor rainforest has all sorts of spectacular greenery and plants to see, as well as exhibitions and events for the whole gang. For more family days out, there’s Lappa Valley Steam Railway (20 minutes), Paradise Park and JungleBarn wildlife sanctuary (half an hour) and Flambards theme park (40 minutes). Closer to base, a trip to Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm (10 minutes) comes with tours, tractor rides, farm animals and, of course, tastings – there are fruit juices for the kids to try, while grown-ups can sample ciders and wines.
