Run by a community of creatives, there is so much to see and do when you're onsite. The site enjoys amazing views of Whitsand Bay and the coast, with inland views towards Dartmoor and Bodmin. You can explore the gallery showcasing local artists, with a sauna and cold plunge for unwinding. The campsite is thoughtfully designed with respect for nature in mind. Campers can choose from a range of areas, with Bunker being located amongst the 2nd World War gun emplacements, which are listed as a Scheduled Monument. These pitches are car free and for tents only. All of the other pitches allow tents, trailer tents, campervans, motorhomes and caravans with up to six guests. Pitches vary in proximity to the facilities and entertainment venues, so simply choose an area that best suits your needs! For food and drink, there is The Canteen that offers a delicious breakfast and lunch menu using local produce. The Guardhouse serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner (on Fridays and Saturdays), with tapas, savory snacks, cakes, coffee and more!
