About Chy Carne Camping and Touring Park
A relaxed, quiet and family-friendly site, Chy Carne is a spacious and well-kept coastal holiday park with excellent on-site facilities.
The site offers a good number of large and level camping and touring pitches across 13 acres, available with electric. These pitches are large and spacious with some being on a slight slope - this allows for better views across the valley.
Many of the pitches have sea views overlooking the bay at Kennack Sands. Tents, campervans, touring caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents and folding campers of all sizes are welcome.
Fires are permitted providing they are contained within a fire basket, pit or chimenea.
The site also has 25 static caravans available for hire in an area away from camping and caravan pitches, allowing you to unwind at your own pace in peace and comfort.
Organised groups and touring rallies are welcome, and single sex groups and under 18s are accepted with booking conditions.

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023
Beautiful location. I thought that the shop was too expensive and that you shouldn't have to pay for showers.
Noisy of a night time. However, we did enjoy ourselves.
Great location

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023
Great stay but sloping in places. Wi-Fi and tv reception can be temperamental but that is to be expected.
Facilities were fairly basic but functional and clean. Shop is very good and the pizzas were nice, but overpriced.
All in all, a good spot fairly close to the beach, but wouldn't recommend taking a larger motorhome down the lane to the beach car park.
