Treenook Farm offers adults-only wild camping on a small, family-run farm with fab views to Carbis Bay in West Cornwall. Here you have the very best of locations, close to beaches for surfers, even closer to the spectacular art galleries of St Ives, and a 10-minute walk to the South West Coast Path for overnighting hikers. There’s plenty more to see and do round and about too. The cute seaside town of Marazion (15 minutes’ drive) is packed with arty galleries and hip shops, has a sandy beach and – most importantly – gives you access (on foot or by boat, depending on tides) to St Michael’s Mount, a rocky outcrop topped by a mighty castle open for tours. If it’s warm enough (this is England after all) you can swim (or at least paddle) in the sea at Mount’s Bay (15 minutes) and Carbis Bay (five minutes), where hardier souls can get dry-suited up for windsurfing and paddleboarding adventures. You can hire all the gear and take lessons for all skill levels too. While this site has no electricity, a very, very major bonus is the gas-powered shower to warm you up after a dip in the sea. You can pick up supplies at local stores to grill on the barbecue, and if you change your mind about cooking, no worries – just head for a local pub for a pint of cider and a Cornish pasty.
