Liked Lovely stay at Crackington campsite. Peaceful and relaxing. It was great to have the use of a fire pit which made it really magical for the children. The facilities were exceptionally clean and the shower was hot! Will definitely be back!

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Great easy access to the south west coast path. Crackington Haven is a 30min stroll through beautiful fields and along a trail through woodland. Perfect for families with slightly older children comfortable walking. The fields are naturally very steep, great workout after a drink at the local pub.
The campsite was very quiet and peaceful, during high season this was very welcomed. Perfect for all looking for a no frills traditional campsite offering beautiful scenery, good vibes and lovely hospitality.
There's a couple of toilets although despite being a full campsite never presented any issues and was always very clean and well stocked with paper, hand wash etc.
There's a single shower cubicle which was well maintained and very clean. Although with the sea only a 30min walk away you can jump in everyday like we did.
There's washing facilities for crockery, sinks etc. perfect for cleaning up after a feast.
There's a gentle slope on the site but nothing to be concerned about, there's enough space to find a flat area to pitchup.
There's plenty of bins, recycling point and you can purchase local vegetables from the farm and wood for your fire pits.
It really is a perfect place to camp and a wonderful part of the county to explore with secret beaches dotted along the coastland and stunning walks in both directions.
Our faves were dipping in the sea at The Strangles, hiking to Boscastle and further afield to Tintagel where you can bathe and swim at Bossiney Cove. Or take a woodland walk through St Nectern's Glen.
We'll certainly be back and would recommend to all.

Liked Pleasant informal site in a great location.
Disliked We stayed on a busy weekend, there were a few too many people camping for the facilities provided. At least one more shower is needed.
Grass too long, needed a cut.

Peaceful haven
Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Rural peaceful site, a large field, pitch where you like. Facilities are simple but clean: 1 x shower & 2 loos available plus dish wash, recycling and bin area. Lovely walk down into Crackington Haven, details on a poster in the shower area. No WiFi but 4G/5G works fine.
