Looe Valley Camping

Every year, folks flock to Cornwall for its lush countryside, sandy beaches and towns that have inspired centuries of artists. All of that’s within your grasp at Looe Valley Camping. For beaches, the obvious choice is Looe (10 minutes’ drive), but there are also remoter sands at Tregantle (10 minutes) and Lantic Bay (half an hour), both requiring a bit of a climb. What’s that saying? The more adventure, the better. The countryside surrounds your bell tent for rural walks, but if you’re up for a bit more of a trip, drive up to the Golitha Falls National Nature Reserve (20 minutes) for walks interrupted only by waterfalls, river paddling and waterside picnics in the ancient woodland. Further up is The Cheesewring (half an hour) and other Bodmin Moor tors, formed from granite over millions of years. The attractions in this area will surely have you up and raring to go, too. There’s the rainforest biomes of the Eden Project (35 minutes), built on what used to be barren terrain, and the ever-popular play areas and family rides of the Camel Creek Family Adventure Park (50 minutes).
