  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A simple campsite in a great, quiet location. ‘Check in’ was straightforward and there was great information on how best to get to the village. The facilities were clean and functional and the option to charge devices was very welcome.

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.
