Wild camping field with spectacular views over Cornish countryside
A 40-minute drive to the Eden Project, and 20 minutes from Newquay
Dog-friendly pitches on a 25-acre site; the beach 10 minutes’ drive

At the top of a valley overlooking the Cornish village of Callestick, Callestick Camping has uninterrupted views to a historic tin mine over a patchwork of green fields. Families, surfers, walkers – and their dogs – all are welcome on this spacious site near Truro with an off-grid, wild camping vibe. With 25 acres spread over four fields and only a small number of pitches, you all have plenty of space for playing with the kids and walking the dog safely. Tucked into a sheltered corner of one field is a communal campfire area, and you are welcome to have your own fire by your tent too – so you can be as sociable or private as you feel fit. From the camping field, it’s a 10-minute stroll into Callestick, home to a well-known ice-cream parlour and a cider farm. Keen to get out in the open air? You can play golf and go horse riding along Perranporth beach (a particularly lovely spot at sunset) in less than 10 minutes’ drive. This is very much a back-to nature-campsite without electricity, so don’t bring the hairdryer. There are toilets though, plus a gas-heated shower, chemical disposal point and a cold-water washing-up sink.

Local attractions

Enjoy exploring on foot? Callestick Camping is surrounded by green lanes, bridleways and coastal paths. An easy walk is to Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm (five minutes’ stroll) to sample local scrumpy. If it’s surfing all the way for you, the fabled Fistral surfing beach is at Newquay (20 minutes’ drive), while Perranporth beach (10 minutes) has three miles of sand and fantastic surfing waves, with plenty of surf schools and hire shops on tap. To learn about Cornish mining heritage, head for abandoned Wheal Coates tin mine (15 minutes’ drive – recognise it from the TV series ‘Poldark’?), or other relics including Blue Hills (15 minutes) and Great Wheal Charlotte (20 minutes). The site is fairly central to the north and south coasts, meaning that Cornwall’s main attractions are easily drivable, from Atlantic views at Land’s End Landmark Attraction (50 minutes’ drive) to the biospheres packed with rare plants at the Eden Project (40 minutes). Falmouth (half an hour) offers indie shops and seafront eateries as well as hidden coves to splash around in.
