  • Pop-up camping field on a Cornish farm near Truro and Perranporth
  • A 20-minute drive from Newquay’s zoo and Fistral surfing beach
  • Wild camping close to a cider farm, pubs, shops and animal sanctuaries
Allet Farm’s wild camping field is set on a working farm near Truro in Cornwall, with cows and Shetland ponies grazing peacefully in neighbouring fields. This is a smashing, pop-up base for surfers (close to north-coast beaches) and families with curious kids (lots of wildlife attractions). For starters, the site owners are happy to show anyone around the farm and introduce their animals, and within 40 minutes, you can treat the children to close-up encounters at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. Visits to Newquay Zoo and the Screech Owl Sanctuary (both 20 minutes’ drive) are on the cards too, and you can let younger kids run around in safe play areas at Lappa Valley (15 minutes) to tire them out too. Now about those surfing spots: Newquay’s famed Fistral beach is a 20-minute drive away. Expert or complete surfing rookie? It doesn’t matter here, as you can hire boards, take lessons or simply jump on a wave. Trips to Perranporth (10 minutes) and Chapel Porth (15 minutes) beaches should be on your itinerary too. Back on site, simple amenities include a loo block, washing-up area and a communal fridge – and wifi is available in some places. As well as cider farm (yay – tasting available) and ice-cream parlour (another score for the kids), there’s a family-friendly pub in Shortlanesend village (five minutes), and a local store where you can pick up essentials.

Blackberry 1 bedroom cabin (pet friendly)

Liked How peaceful it was, friendly ponies and amazing views

Disliked Could have done with a little better cleaning… a lot of dirt flew from under the bed when the windows were open.
