Hello, I am thinking of going campsite on St.Mary's, Scilly Isles some time in August. As no cars are allowed on the islands I have been advised that your equipment is shipped over on the ferry in a container and that the campsite owners meet you when you arrive and transport you and your luggage to the site. I wondered if anyone can tell me how difficult/easy this actually is. I am new to camping, 2 short but successful trips last September. The problem is that even though there are just the 2 of us (me and my 8 year old son) there is still a car load of stuff to take and I am concerned about labelling it up for a container and worried that it will not get mixed up with other people's stuff. I would appreciate some advice from somebody who has actually done this!

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Hello Nikki,there must be someone out there who has already done it! I will be in Padstow this weekend (cottage not camping) and may be going to St.Mary's on the ferry as a foot passenger as they are doing an £18 day return at the moment. I will have a look at the campsite and see if I am brave enough to go it alone in the summer!

We too are going to the Isles of Scilly in July this year - Have not been camping there since I was a child when I went most years with my parants where we had no trouble with transporting gear as this is all taken care of by the campsite owners - the fact that there are so few visitors compared to many places in the UK that your belongings are easy to track.

Fingers crossed it is still the same - nevertheless still a fantastic place to spend a relaxing holiday.
