  • Cornish pop-up campsite with sea views 10 minutes’ drive from Redruth
  • Porthtowan Beach and the South West Coast Path five minutes’ drive
  • Quiet grass pitches five minutes’ walk from a cider mill; dogs welcome
What do you need on a Cornish camping holiday? Access to a sandy beach, long walks on the South West Coast Path and a cider mill close by? Rookery Farm Camping, 25 minutes’ drive west from Truro, has got all of the above and more. This quiet and rural pop-up site has breathtaking views over the North Cornwall coastline from well-kept and level camping fields. Water is supplied and there’s a portable loo, but there’s little else in the way of luxuries, making this a clever choice for families looking for a properly self-sufficient wild camping adventure. Your canine companions are welcome on site, and there are a couple dog-friendly beaches within 10 minutes’ drive, where you can all have a run around and a paddle in the waves. If you’re doing self-catering, there are supermarkets in Redruth; if you’d rather eat out there’s a pub with a sea-view beer garden in Portreath (both 10 minutes’ drive), while the cider mill (five minutes’ walk) is open for tastings and Cornish cream teas during the day.
