  • Family-run pub site in the Cornwall village of Gwinear
  • A 10-minute drive from Hayle harbour and beaches; St Ives 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site; hot pub food to eat in or take away
Plant your flag on a prime plot of Cornish land at The Royal Standard Campsite Gwinear, a peaceful pub site in a quiet village 10 minutes' drive from the coast. This family-run spot also has the big benefit of being dog-friendly, and is home to two friendly Westies that are sure to run up and say hello. Set in a green field – with occasionally clucking free-range chickens creating a bit of rural ambience – this site has plenty of pleasing views and outdoor furniture for lounging about alfresco-style. The kids are welcome to run around and get up to games in these spacious grounds, while young ones you want to keep a closer eye can be entertained at the site's small playground. Low levels of light pollution mean the stars look particularly bright in this part of Cornwall, adding a little extra sparkle to evening barbecues or campfires (both of which are allowed). Don't look up too much though, or you might miss the nocturnal creatures like badgers and foxes that like to pass this way. When the pub is open for business, tasty home-cooked meals are available to eat in or take away. There's also a small-scale food shop here if you don't feel like venturing off in search of essentials. That said, this site isn't far from local amenities if you do need to pick up provisions – West Cornwall Shopping Park, where there's a supermarket, café and pharmacy, is two miles away. Please note that the pub is closed on Mondays, but the site remains open throughout the week.

Liked Location was perfect. Facilities were good. Shower and toilet cubicles were nice and clean. Pub onsite was ideal for a nice friendly pint. McDonald’s, Lidle and M&S food literally a 5 minute car journey away. Plenty space to pitch.

Local attractions

Gwinear village has its own 18-hole golf course (20 minutes' walk), a 10-acre site that's open to visitors during the mid and high season. Cycling or motoring down to Hayle (10 minutes' drive) will surely be next on your list: the town has a swimming pool, coast path access and plenty of beach space, with two separate stretches of sand. Heading a few miles up the coast, you'll arrive at golden Gwithian beach (10 minutes) where you can stop for a surf lesson. Slightly more to the north are wilder spots like Godrevy Point and Mutton Cove (both 15 minutes) where you can observe a seal colony and a gorgeous Victorian lighthouse. Indoor attractions of note include Tate St Ives (20 minutes), a top-rated modern art collection in an old fishing town that also houses the Barbara Hepworth Museum. Truro (40 minutes), Cornwall's one and only city, has a cathedral, cider farm, brewery and the Royal Cornwall Museum for further indoor times.
