Tresinney Camping

New

Pop-up wild campsite on the edge of Bodmin Moor in North Cornwall
The Camel Trail 10 minutes’ drive, and Tintagel Castle 25 minutes
Dog-friendly with far-reaching moorland views; pubs 10 minutes’ drive

It may be a pop-up site with no frills, but Tresinney Camping still has a lot going for it. It’s 10 minutes’ drive from the market town of Camelford in North Cornwall, within easy walking distance of Bodmin Moor in the Cornwall National Landscape, and set in a Dark Skies area – so be sure to hang around on clear nights to see twinkling celestial displays. The camping field is gently sloping and has lots of room for you to pick your favourite pitching spot. Amenities stretch only as far as portable loos, a communal fridge and charging facilities (handy for keeping kids happy), but the place has lots of space for games, barbecues and campfires are positively encouraged, and dogs are welcome too. Just remember to bring torches and spare batteries with you. Camelford is handy for stocking up on barbecue essentials in the local supermarket, grabbing a takeaway or eating out in one of the pubs. There’s also a leisure centre with an indoor pool – just the job for any rainy days. There are also showers at the leisure centre that can be used for a small fee. The stunning North Cornish coast and its expansive surfing beaches are but 15 minutes’ drive away, where you can also walk segments of the South West Coast Path from Tregardock Beach.
