We toured Cornwall last year and it is a lovely place to tour.

Two tips,

Firstly, we found that cafes were, in general, very expensive and a pint of beer was £3+ everywhere. But there were loads of nice pic nic places, so we took our camping stove and had brew ups. Saved ourselves a bomb and had a good time.

Secondly, loads of tiny lanes that you DO NOT want to go down with van in tow. So when you are hitched up, do not blindly follow GPS directions! Either navigate the old fashioned way, or at least set GPS to 'Bus/Truck'.

Have a good time!

I live in Cornwall  and would suggest arriving on a Saturday, wherever you stay

 

Try to arrive before 12:00 as it's manic from noon onwards, before 10:00 is preferable even if you need to wait to pitch

 

When you get down to Exeter pick up Radio Devon 103.4FM, 94.8FM, 95.8FM, 96FM, 104.3FM and after crossing the Tamar at Launceston or Plymouth depending on your chosen route pick up Pirate FM, 102.2 /102.8 it provides excellent traffic reports. Frequent black spots Okehampton, Plymouth, Temple (Bodmin area)

 

If you can, use a sat nat so you can re-route, if you hit heavy traffic or the almost habitual weekly long delays due to 3 lanes going in to 2 lanes or a caravan being overturned but du remember to monitor road sides (or  as above set sat nav as for bus/truck ) as some minor Cornish roads are extremely narrow and test reversing skills.

 

When you do arrive, have a nice holiday

 

Regards Jude
