Camping in North cornwall- all we want is a site near the beach, with electric hook up- no discos and deffo no gangs of gobby yoofs

[ladytophamhatt]

please help us find one because its like looking for a needle in a haystack.

There was one overlooking Padstow when we went this year, just a basic sight with beautiful views- think its called 'dennis cove'.

Thanks Emma, that one looks good but is closed atm so we can't find out prices/availability etc which is really stupid!!

Come on campers, where are you all>? I can't believe me and TE are the only ones here right now.

How small do you want?

There is a website here called Small campsites which may be of use but you'll have to do some more research as they don't seem to link to websites.

Good Luck btw in finding a quiet campsite in N Cornwall!!

Have you tried the C&C Club website for their Club sites?

We go to Cornwall a couple of times a year. Am not sure about North Cornwall.....dont really even know which part we go to, lol!!

We stay in a village in St Agnes, near to Truro, Newquay, Gwithian etc...all have campsites and are near beaches???

don't really want a quite one so much, just one thats not all neon signs and takeaway burgers IYSWIM

have you tried the camping and caravanning society their site are usually pretty civilised.

Lucycat, I could kiss you!!

dh ahs been trawling the internet all afternoon to find somewhere, I told him to let me ask MN but as per usual with DH
MN is the root of all evil and should be banished to deepest depths of hell.

Hahahahah, the first one on the list from your link is prefect!!!!!

MN rocks!

there was a good thread on here a while back about precisely the same thing - I pointed to a few then (in fact one is on my profile pics) - will try to find it!

here you go

aww shucks LTH

I've just checked it out and it does look lovely - shame there are no recent reviews on ukcamping.

When are you thinking of going?

Ok, dennis cove is fully bookied.

Oh thats a shame- we didnt camp as we had rented a house in the town but friends of ours stayed on the campsite. They really rated it.

One for the future perhaps?

Have you tried Camping and caravanning club sites?

Other than those I can only think of Glenmorris.co.uk. (sorry, am rubbish at links) its near a village called St Mabyn.
Might be a bit inland for you but the staff were lovely and friendly and swiftly evicted the one family who were a bit rowdy!
There is an outdoor swimming pool and separate toddlers pool (both very clean) and childrens play area and they didn't seem to mind toddlers on bikes either.

We've stayed at this site in Bude which is lovely and also this site in Veryan but this one might be too far south

Camping and Caravanning club is a good place to start either that or settle on the town/village you want to stay in and then check for any sites round that way, Good Luck!

Have you looked on UK Campsite? It has links to the websites and reviews, so you should be able to sort the quiet sites out from the noisy ones.

lth - take out a secong mortage and join us
here Second week in Aug

It looks hell but we went last year and it was fab with the kids.

Noticed this year they have a good behaviour bond for families with teenage kids.

we are planning on somewhere quiter next year but this suits us with kids ( and friend wil have new teeny baby with her)

We go here

mega, we're oing 2nd aug for 2 weeks....fancy meting up for a secret mn session in the nearest library?

can recommend the c&c club - tho i was told to take a washing line down at the Glastonbury site. can you beleive it? and their dryer cost £2 a go. otherwise they are excellent.

ay up dof3 - have put a pic of my old camper up for you!

looks cool - had 2 of those, complete with windy roof.
