Camping tips for Cornwall
Cornwall is extremely popular and peak-season pitches go fast — book in January for a July or August stay. Traffic on the A30 can be severe in summer; arriving on a Friday evening from the east means queuing. The coast road round the Lizard and Penwith is dramatic but narrow — large motorhomes should plan routes carefully. Prevailing south-westerly winds can be strong at exposed cliff-top sites; sheltered valley sites are calmer. Tidal timing matters for beach walks — check before heading out. Most supermarkets are inland so a daily shop often means a drive; stock up when you pass through a town.
About camping in Cornwall
Cornwall is an ancient Celtic nation with its own language, Kernewek, still spoken by thousands of people and taught in some local schools. The county's tourism economy is almost entirely seasonal, with the majority of visitors arriving between June and September. The Cornish Riviera Express from London Paddington reaches Penzance in under five hours. With over 300 licensed campsites, Cornwall has one of the highest densities of camping provision in the UK, ranging from cliffside adults-only sites with sea views to large family parks with heated pools.
