About Stay Wild Cornwall
Acres of space await at this family and dog friendly campsite, ideally located just a 20 minute drive from some of South Cornwall's best beaches including Praa Sands. There are three pitches which are all a combination of grass and hardstanding, fondly named Buzzard's Landing, Medlyn Meadows and Bramble Brook. Each of these has 16 amp electric hook up and caters for tents and camper vans, sorry the site is not currently set up for touring caravans or motorhomes. Each pitch is three acres and allows a maximum occupancy of 15. All of the pitches have ensuite facilities, each offering something different, including underfloor heating, toilets, wash basins, heated towel rails, hot showers and a roll top bath. Hand towels, bath mats, hand soap and hair dryers are also provided. For those who prefer glamping, try out the 1970s retro American trailer is a great choice for up to two people in a double bed. Inside you'll find a sofa, TV, kitchen with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge freezer, kettle and a toaster. There's also an ensuite shower with a toilet and outside is your own roll top bath. There is also a geodome onsite for another glamping option. Inside there is a double bed, seating, smart TV and Bluetooth speaker. To soak in the great views there is an outdoor decking area with seating and a fire pit and BBQ. There is also a private facility hut with a roll top bath, WC and shower, as well as a separate private kitchen area. You'll be immersed in nature with fantastic views stretching out over the countryside, so be sure to keep an eye out for local wildlife including deer and rare glimpses of the local snowy owl! Dogs are permitted only on Buzzard's Landing and Medlyn Meadows. Up to two are allowed per pitch and please keep them on the lead. Campfires are permitted in the allocated areas only.
Stay Wild Cornwall is open all year round.
Each pitch has its own ensuite, and is unique with a mix of a roll top bath, hot shower, toilet, heated towel rails, underfloor heating and a hair dryer. You'll also have a private kitchen space with a lockable washing up area, fridge freezer and kettle. Facilities also include laundry on request and free WiFi.
