Hi folks, haven't posted for a long long time... Any recommendations for nice campsites in Cornwall.  We're travelling down 4th September (I believe the English schools go back then?) and are looking for ideas of where to go - we've never been before.  We want to do all the tourist things and don't know whether to base ourselves in one campsite for the week or move from site to site.  We're taking our tent and well-behaved Border Collie!

You could try Delabole, there are three sites there including Planet Park  Its close to Tintagel, Port Isaac and Bodmin Moor, with good local services. We stayed in Delabole earlier this year and had a great time.

Tretham Mill on the Roseland Peninsula. Great family site, 5 star facilities, no pub/club onsite so quiet at night. Near the St Harry ferry for Truro and a little off the beaten track. A little expensive compared to some, but worth it.

Gwithian Farm near Hayle/St Ives is an excellent campsite, we where there in June (before the schools broke up) for a week and had a lovely time. It's an ideal base for touring both the north & south coasts of western Cornwall.

Trewince Farm is a good site, near Padstow.  The site has a small shop, games room, swimming pool and nice clean toilet/wash facilities.

Seaview international has fantastic facilities, we went & had a look last week after being told about it by a mate at work. The whole place is superb 100%.

www.seaviewinternational.com  & PL26 6LL for your sat nav postcode search you'll not be unhappy with what you find there. Just beware of the narrow lane access though, it has passing places & is well worth the time taken to got through.

Heligan Woods also lovely and defo dog friendly. Water bowls scattered around the entrance and reception too.

Peaceful and picturesque with well tended trees and shrubs and if you go on any of the pitches along the length of the site infront of the shower blocks, (there are about three levels to choose from plus along the row next to the showers etc.), can't remember all pitch numbers at the mo but we were on 30 for the last two weeks and that's got a sea view, (in the distance admittedly).

One bonus of Heligan Woods is that you also have full free use of all facilities on their sister site of Pentewan Sands which doesn't allow dogs but handy for the well stocked mini market which is open all day while the handy liccle store on Heligan is only open for a couple of hours each morning and early evening, (was 8.30-10.30am while we were there and then again at 4.30-6.30pm but times may change throughout the season).

It's next door the wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan where there's also the amazing Lobbs Farm shop...yummmmmy...their white Cornish chocoloate is to die for

Also just down the road from the lovely fishing village of Mevagissey, which is a place my whole family adore, shame about the scaffolding up around one building this year though, ruined the photo ops

You might wanna take a squiz at my review about Heligan Gardens on the 23 which I'm gonna attempt to do an update on if possible. If it's not, I'll just do another review, coz it deserves it.

Be prepared to bring your winter woolies though if visiting Cornwall that late in the season coz it gets pretty darned nippy. That said though, we have noticed that you don't seem to get as much wet stuff in September........unlike us in August almost every blooming year

Hope you have a great time wherever you pitch your tent. Cornwall is beautiful.
