Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping

127 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents20 acres · Cornwall, South West England

Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go swimming before breakfast in the clear water of a secluded lake. Cook your bacon and eggs over an open fire while you plan your day, or just laze it away in the peace and quiet of your own personal tipi. You can always go fishing tomorrow, and walk along the cliffs the day after that… The site is a unique woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis and tent pitches are dotted about this secret 20 acres full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Left in peace for many years there's been no modern chemicals or poisons on the land, meaning we've got bluebells, dormice, Red Admirals and shy woodland Jays for you to spot. It’s a place set apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us. We established CTH in 1996. This was the first and we believe still is the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with local knowledge or contacts if you need them. We want to offer our guests a sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment - our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth. Your footprint while here could only be bettered by a survival expert. You don't have to fly! a major bonus, and we source all our wood, fish and canvas locally and work with local people wherever possible.

The Retreat is in a secluded corner of a 3 acre meadow with sea views and direct footpath access to several stunning coves. The meadow is left to grass and wildflowers, cut once a year in June or July for organic hay. It is visited regularly by badgers, foxes and red deer, and it's a great spot to see hunting barn owls and raptors, swallows....and bats! It's a fantastic place for star-gazing too! Many guests don't use their car once they're here....there are so many walks right from the gate to some of the most breathtaking coastline in Britain. If you like sea-swimming, nature photography, bird-watching, rock-clambering, or just fire-cooking and romantic nights under the stars, you'll love it! We are a little haven in the middle of farmland, so please be aware that whilst most of the time it is very peaceful here, there are times when you can hear farm noises.

Camping in Isles of Scilly AONB guide

Overview

Hopping across to the go-slow Isles of Scilly off southwest Cornwall feels like leaving England far behind, though the mainland is under 30 miles away. Some 140 islands make up this wildly beautiful and historically fascinating archipelago, and only five are inhabited. It’s a world of secluded coves, lonely lighthouses, wonderfully scenic coastal footpaths, and beachy strands that appear like magic at low tide, and there are just a few camping spots and glamping lodges sprinkled around. Outdoor adventurers delight in hiking, swimming, diving, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, and seal-spotting, not to mention sleeping under blissfully clear skies.

Where to go

St. Mary’s & Tresco

The liveliest and largest island in Scilly—with all the transport links, restaurants, and shops—St. Mary’s unveils far-flung bays, windswept headlands, and meandering paths running along the coast and across the wide-open countryside. Excellent swimming, snorkelling, diving, and birdwatching opportunities abound, while boats zip over to neighbouring Tresco, with its subtropical, 19th-century gardens and powdery, Caribbean-worthy beaches.

St. Martin’s

Famous for hosting some of England’s outstanding blonde-sand beaches, the northernmost of the inhabited Scilly Isles is a delight to explore, and it even has its own tiny winery. Hike between sandy strands; go swimming, snorkelling, and diving off the sweeping bays; get the campfire going under the stars; and feast on super-fresh seafood plucked from the surrounding Atlantic.

Bryher

Tiny, rugged, and remote Bryher feels worlds away from everything, even its sister Scillies. The fun here is all about wandering the coast-hugging paths, clambering up to superb viewpoints, wandering past rustic-charm cottages, enjoying the secluded sweeping beaches and rocky coves, and stocking up on fresh local produce at street-side stalls.

St. Agnes

If camping with impossibly beautiful views across a deserted white-sand beach and rustling up meals with ingredients fresh from local farms sounds like exactly your thing, seek out the southernmost of the populated Scilly Isles. As well as secluded coves, aquamarine views, and flower-filled fields, isolated St. Agnes is known for prehistoric burial sites and the dreamy low-tide sandbar running across to the even more isolated Gugh island.
