Trevena Cross Glamping & Camping

25 units · Tents7 acres · Porthleven, England

Pop- up site throughout the summer in the village of Breage, just off the A394. Porthleven and Praa Sands five minutes' drive away. At the foot of Tregonning Hill; on a main bus route for easy outings. Trevena Cross Glamping & Camping is strategically placed just off the A394, it's also on the main Penzance to Helston bus route for easy outings. Not that it's all about getting off site: the place itself is rather lovely too, set back from the road surrounded by agricultural land and at the foot of Tregonning Hill (climbs of which are rewarded with views of the south coasts). The pitching area takes up four and a half acres of the seven- acre plot, with guests able to pick their own pitch and numbers limited to ensure plenty of space for all. Facilities have been kept simple here Eco Loo, Wash up area and hot showers. There is free parking on site too (although in wet weather you'll be asked to keep travel through the fields to a minimum). It's a family friendly site with a car free play area complete with a communal toy box. Dogs are welcome to take a break here too, they have a dedicated exercise area where they can run free but you'll need to keep them on a lead in all other areas, clean up after them and generally be mindful of other guests and the livestock in neighbouring fields. There is a small onsite 'essentials shop' for when you've been caught short and can't face the drive to Helston (we're talking really important items that never should have missed the list like marshmallows, baked beans and batteries!). Freezer pack re-freezing and battery pack charging facilities also available on request (subject to a small charge and availability). Those aiming to see Cornwall on foot should be pleased to note that there are plenty of countryside walks around, and lots of lovely coastal spots close by too (Praa Sands and Porthleven are both a couple of miles away, and linked by the South West Coast Path). It's also an easy 5- minute amble to Breage village centre for a top notch pub, a couple of play areas, a post office/ shop and a popular garden centre with a fab cafe.

Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping

168 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.
