  • Small, friendly and family-run site on the north Cornish coast
  • Just over a mile from Crackington Haven; coast path access to beach
  • Local bus stop 50 metres away at the hamlet of St Gennys
You'll be aware, obvs, that a site anywhere near any Cornish coast tends to be among scenery that's pretty terrific. And so it is at north Cornwall's Coxford Meadow Campsite, a small, friendly and family-run site in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just over a mile from Crackington Haven. Pitch up among countryside and sea views at this peaceful park, where there's loads of green open space, roomy pitches and plenty of scope for play. The beach is five minutes' drive away (or a mile and a half's amble along the fab and famed South West Coast Path), and other fab and famed Cornish destinations like Widemouth Bay, Bude and Boscastle are within 15 minutes' drive. The site is popular with guests – and just right too – who come for the laidback vibe, the splendid scenery, the spacious pitches and the immaculate amenities; the play area in the centre of the pitching field has picked up a few plaudits too. All guests have access to spotless toilets and hot showers, a microwave, and a freezer for ice packs, as well as a pool table in reception for benign or intense family competitions. Getting out and about is easy peasy from here with the beach and the coast path so close, but if you'd prefer to let someone else ferry you around, the nearest bus stop is just 50 metres from Coxford Meadow's entrance at the local hamlet of St Gennys.

Ian F.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Stayed end of May - changed booking with site owners.

The site was exactly what we wanted, small, quiet with good access to all of north Cornwall.

The owners are lovely, always around and offering advice, a chat and making sure everything is spotlessly clean, with far greater attention to detail than anywhere we have every stayed.

Site itself was never too busy, but had a nice mix of families, walkers and explorers. Our daughter loved the play area in the woods and soon forgot we existed as she met other children.

Can not fault a thing and will gladly return.

Disliked Nothing

Chris S.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A lovely campsite, very low-key and relaxing. We had a very nice welcome. The campsite has a peaceful atmosphere and pitch sizes are excellent. A good situation about a mile up from the beach.
Good clean toilet block with free hot showers.
Highly recommended.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Small family friendly campsite.

Baby bath available.

Very clean facilities. Plenty of warm water.

Children’s slide and swing and small football nets.

Large area of grass for children to play in front of tents.

Owners friendly.

Disliked Shower and toilet block next to each other but separate. Push button operated showers, but they were lovely and hot.

Could have done with soap dispenser in the shower block.

Little bit of road noise.

Excellent site with clean facilities also perfect for rainy weather.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Beautiful location so peaceful and the coastal walks were stunning. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. The toilet and shower facilities although dated were extremely clean. Would definitely return to this site. Crackington Haven is certainly a hidden gem on the North Cornish Coast.

Local attractions

If you've holidayed here before, you should also be aware that Cornwall's beaches on the north and south side are almost all utterly spectacular, from the lengthy golden stretches of Summerleaze and Crooklets in Bude (each within 20 minutes' drive of the site) to the gentle waters of Looe and the wide sands of Polperro, both around an hour and five minutes away. And then there are the also utterly spectacular sandy specimens deep in Cornwall's west around Land's End: Sennen Cove, Mullion, Kynance Cove, Porthcurno… all within a couple of hours' drive and jolly well worth it too. Just over an hour away, have days at Falmouth (and the National Maritime Museum and must-do boat trips on the River Fal) and Polkerris, for its wide sandy cove, watersports and rockpooling. Coxford Meadow's also fably set for investigating the highlights of Tintagel (25 minutes), Port Isaac (35 minutes), the Camel Trail from Bodmin (45 minutes) to Padstow (55 minutes), and the wide expanses – and possible beast? – of Bodmin Moor (40 minutes).
