Electric grass pitch (added by manager 03 Aug 2022)

Quiet adults-only site in the middle of the Land's End peninsula
Spacious pitches marked with hedges; smart modern bathroom block
A 10-minute drive from Sennen Cove and the Land's End viewpoint

Want to run away from it all but avoid the crowds of Cornwall in clement weather? Head to the end of the country and pitch up near smashingly scenic Land's End at family-run Cardinney Caravan and Camping Park. This is a site for those into their scenery: the four and three-quarter acres of grounds have been carefully landscaped to be filled with flowers, trees and shrubs, alongside roomy pitches that are thoughtfully laid out and individually marked with hedges. Award-winning Sennen Cove – full of surfing spots, wildlife watching and stunningly scenic sands – is less than three miles away. Cardinney's facilities include a well-stocked shop that sells Calor gas alongside grocery essentials. It's also got a fully equipped launderette and a smart luxury bathroom block (newly opened for the 2021 season).

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Nicely sheltered pitches with hedgerows, altho this also blocked the light somewhat. Quiet site and online checkin was super efficient. Great location for walks. Wifi is good, altho does take a few minutes to connect properly.

Disliked: Dry pedestrian access to toilets (ie around the barriers) could do with a little tlc and the toilets not cleaned as often as would expect. Rather expensive.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Showers, toilets and all facilties were spotlessly clean and checked regularly. Location easy for trips to beaches and places of interest.

Disliked: At the time of our visit, the site was not full. We were allocated a pitch prior to arrival. It seemed that they put us all in one area instead of spreading us out to allow for more privacy.

Local attractions

Have a look at the leaflets in Cardinney's information hut to see the best of what's nearby: sandy beaches, surfing, golf, fishing, horse riding and seaside towns and villages are all within five miles. Land's End first, of course… of all the scenic spots in Cornwall, this is among the most spectacular, and you'll probably need a couple of days at least roaming around the beaches, coves and cliffs here... Secluded Sennen Cove and its sparkling sands are a first stopoff for many, who come to soak up the sun on its sands or tackle the waves on its surf. Whitesands Beach is also well regarded for surf and joins up with the mile of beach at Gwenver where the waves are a bit stronger (all three beaches are lifeguarded in summer). On the cliffs, many suggest that one of the best Land's End occupations is just to sit and watch the waves crashing below, but if you're itching for a hike, visit the visitors' centre for a list of walks around the area, or the RSPB Wildlife Discovery Centre just below the famous Land's End signpost to find out what species you can see. In the evening, the famed open-air Minack Theatre at Porthcurno is probably one of this area's best-known manmade things, set into the cliffs and listed as one of the most spectacular theatres in the world. The season runs from May to September, but tickets are available to look around the theatre and gardens during the day. Cardinney Caravan and Camping Park is an obliging base for other much-visited Cornish attractions like National Trust houses and gardens and yet more spectacular beaches: try Godolphin at Helston, Flambards theme park, or lying on the sands at Marazion, Mousehole or along the coast at St Ives.
