Why This is My Favorite Cornish Campsite

I have been camping in Cornwall each year for as long as I can remember and as you can imagine, I have pretty much covered all of the so-called best campsites in Cornwall. After so many years of traveling throughout the county, I have my favorite campsite which I want to tell you a little about today.

If you have never been to Cornwall, camping or otherwise, I cannot stress just how much you will love it here, or how much I would recommend this beautiful corner of the globe. Here in Cornwall you will find glorious beaches, magnificent coastal walks, beautiful little towns and villages, plus some of the finest seafood in the world. If you haven’t been yet, I suggest that you do, and this is the campsite which you should stay in when you get there.

Perran Springs

The Perran Springs campsite is located near Truro, around 2 miles away from those delicious golden sands of Perranporth, and just 6 miles away from Newquay, a town renowned for its world-class surf and its chilled out way of life. If you are looking for a base from which you can discover Cornwall, this is the perfect location for you to be.

Accommodation

Personally, I am a traditional camper who likes it rough and ready staying in a tent, bathing in the river and finding my own firewood. These childish pastimes however have to be put to one side occasionally, especially when you have family. This is why I love this campsite, there are a wide range of accommodation options from caravans, glamping-style tents,, luxury log pods and of course, some space for the traditionalists amongst us to pitch their tent.

Peace and Quiet

For me, peace and quiet should be a prerequisite for any campsite, but sadly my experience has told me that this is very rarely guaranteed. The campsite at Perran Springs however, offers nothing but silence and tranquility, except perhaps for the calling of the birds and the rummages of the animals in the leaves, now that is a noise that I can happily live with. I find it fascinating that this place is so close to all of the Cornish delights that you could wish for, yet absolutely serene at the same time.

Nature

As much as I do love to discover new places such as towns and villages, when I go camping I do so in order to get back to nature, and this is the prefect place to do just that. Some days whilst the family go out and about in Newquay, I love nothing more than hitting the fishing lake, or simply sitting by the pond in the nature reserve, watching the dragonflies and taking some much valued time out.

If you are looking to go camping, Cornwall is one of the best places to do it, and Perran Springs is the best place to stay. Here are the details:
