  • Small dog-friendly site one mile from the St. Ives Bay coastline
  • A 25-minute walk from three miles of golden-sand surfing beaches
  • Clubhouse on site; kitchen open for some evening meals
Time to get stuck into the Cornish surf and St Ives’ arts scene? All aboard for Hayle Rugby Club Campsite, a small site just a mile from the St Ives Bay coastline. Setting down 25 minutes’ walk from three miles of golden-sand surfing beaches will surely please those looking to master the Cornwall waves, explore the dunes and wildlife or set about some sandcastle building. Just off the main A30 road, accessing beaches, towns and the surf is all rather straightforward. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the site, along with pubs, shops and bus stops (to access other local spots and areas all around the Cornish coast). St Michael’s Mount is 20 minutes’ drive away, by the way. Hayle Rugby Club Campsite has nine acres of land with limited access, set up for simple tents-only camping. The site’s shared with the RFC, who have a great dog-friendly clubhouse (grab a drink there) and a seating area (a prime spot for sunset). Barbecues are welcome, as long as they are raised off the grass, but campfires are banned. On-site facilities include toilets, washing-up facilities and a tap for running water. There are also hot and cold ladies' and gents' showers (separated by curtains), open from 8am until the club closure (note that they are shut on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6pm to 9pm due to rugby training). Take a note: there's a Cornish Oven bakery on site open seven days per week. There’s also a bus stop within 50 metres of the site.

What customers say

This is a budget-friendly campsite with a great location for exploring Cornwall, close to shops and beaches. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Facilities are basic but clean, though some mention the proximity to the A30 can cause traffic noise. Parking is generally easy, and the site offers a relaxed atmosphere. It's a good value option for a no-frills stay.

Lauren S.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Friendly welcome (in the in-house bar). Relaxed atmosphere. 'Park wherever you want'. Toilets, showers, sinks, rubbish bins, drinking water. No chemical waste or campsite wifi (but we don't mind this). Went on a Sat so the bar was open until dark and a small food menu. Lots of space to run around for the kids. Everything we like!

Luke B.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great value for money and the location is perfect. Its not got amazing facilities but either way the toilets were cleaned regularly and the showers in the rugby club were great. There may be a bit of confusion when turning up as there was a guy onsite who spoke to us but apart from that a nice place to pitch up a tent.

Disliked Nothing really. Hayle traffic but thats normal.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent clean toilets and showers, Wash up area also available.
