  • Quiet dog-friendly site with views of the coast and the Valency Valley
  • A 10-minute drive from Boscastle and 20 minutes from Tintagel Castle
  • Amenities like a farm shop, bakery, pubs and shops in Boscastle
Overlooking the wildlife-packed Valency Valley, Tophill Campsite isn’t exactly short on scenery. This peaceful site has some fine Cornish landscapes spread out in front of it, and there’s plenty more like that within a short drive of the site too. Boscastle, a historic fishing village, is 10 minutes’ drive away and further out is an assortment of sandy surfing beaches, family-friendly bays and more fishing villages. With good toilet and shower facilities, it’s nice and easy to freshen up before your big day out. You may want to visit the unique Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle, which has occult art and displays about the history of British magic. Or perhaps Tintagel Castle, 20 minutes’ drive away, might tempt? The historic clifftop castle, footbridge and Merlin’s cave make for an excellent (and historical) outing. With dogs and families welcome at Tophill Campsite, you won’t have to leave anyone behind. Grab the group’s favourite snack or barbecue foods from Boscastle, where there’s a farm shop and café, a bakery, shops and pubs. Barbecues and firepits are both permitted on site.

Amazing views, top-notch modern loos. Owners are super friendly and helpful. Spacious, clean, peaceful spot for kids and pets. Great for exploring. Just note some pitches slope, and approach roads are narrow.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The site location was fantastic. Perfect for exploring the local area. The toilets and showers were super clean plenty of hot water. Our hosts were brilliant and we spent quite some time chatting over the fence.

Disliked Pitches can be on a bit of a slope. But there is a large flat area at the bottom of the field.
