About the site

The campsite is nestled into the unspoilt landscape of the Rame Head Peninsula. It was once an area of coastal defence and is steeped in history - with cannons that lie along the cliffside and many secrets to discover within its architecture. The site has 12 fully serviced hardstanding pitches with 16 amp electric hook ups, a separate Elsan point and water taps. Allowing units of up to 6m x 5m, and with an adjacent parking space. These are close to the shower and toilet facilities. Alternatively, tent campers can opt for a fully serviced grass pitch, and there are smaller non-electric hiker pitches suitable for two man tents for those travelling on foot. The site facilities are based in the Meadows area and are a short walk from other areas of the site. You are welcome to bring up to two four-legged friends along with you. Please note, sea views are from vantage points on the park, not the pitches.

Whitsand Bay Fort Holiday Village is open from 01/01 to 30/09 and 17/11 to 31/12 in 2025 and from 01/01 to 25/12 in 2026. Pitches from £28/night for 2 people.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesDec 2025

We stayed for one night whilst travelling and wished we’d booked for longer. The Inn did great food and toilets were clean. All pitches were in good condition and the fort was great to explore. Will definitely stay here again when we’re next in the area.

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

The location was ideal, situated near gorgeous beaches and delicious cafes/bar. The pool was a lovely facility and the staff were helpful with a change in pitch. Sadly the bathroom facilities were in need of a thorough clean. Toilet and sink were clean. However the shower and walls were in need of a good scrub or refurbishment! The pitches on the meadow are significantly closer to the facilities so recommend these pitches if you're hoping to be close to toilets. Otherwise, it is quite a walk to get there.

Yes and no

Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

A trek every morning for the showers and pot washroom, food with hairs in it, no access to the beach unless you're SAS trained. Apart from that, the pitches are well maintained with water, waste and toilet drop on each, as well as electric hook up. Swimming pool must be booked which could do with a tidy up. Only 45 mins from Looe, 25 mins by ferry from Plymouth.
