Sycamores Camping

Field seen from the far end of the property

Quiet and secure pop-up site in three acres of garden surrounds
In the small village of Valley Truckle, a mile from Camelford
Dog-friendly site with easy access to the A39

Camping, in Cornwall, near the coast?… Everything at Sycamores Camping points to a winning combination indeed, with the added bonus of being able to pitch up in a private and level three-acre paddock surrounded by floral gardens and Cornish hedging. Set right off the A39, this family-friendly site is a pop-up affair, with basic portable toilets for ladies and gents, hot showers and great access to many of Cornwall's best beaches. A south-facing position, splendid sunsets and a backing track of birdsong all make Sycamores a relaxing place to stay – one that's within easy reach of the wilds of Bodmin Moor, north Cornwall’s secluded sandy coves and King Arthur's castle at Tintagel. This site is located in the small village of Valley Truckle, a mile from Camelford. Amenities in this latter spot are varied, but highlights include takeaways, a well-stocked supermarket, a pub, a swimming pool and a fish and chip shop. Finally, there's a convenience store and garage directly opposite the site entrance for any last-minute dashes for supplies. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to come and stay with you at this pet-friendly site.
