Some people are saying how expensive Cornwall is. We have camped in very good, clean sites in Cornwall for the past 2 years and have paid under £300 each time for 14 nights for 2 adults and large pitch. Considering 1 week is during the high season as we usually camp middle 2 weeks of July I think this is very reasonable. The sites we have been to are Padstow Touring Park and Tregarton Park and I would recommend them highly.

Ha! Ha! Not quite that basic mikegalagher, in fact the 10acre site in question is only part of the big picture. The owners manor house (the size of Harrods) is set in its own manicured gardens where wedding receptions are frequently held. Not managed to wangle an invitation to one of these yet but I’m working on it. All told there are something like 400 acres of parkland surrounding the manor house which includes a wild life sanctuary with rivers and ornamental ponds etc. The kind of animals you can expect to find are wild boar, red squirrels, otters, wild fowl, small mammals, fish, seahorses in breeding tanks, chickens, turkeys, peacocks, birds of prey which are displayed in the afternoons, and if that’s not enough to keep everyone happy there is a restaurant, a shop and a supervised area for kids to learn bush craft skills. Oh! nearly forgot there are more toilets than you can shake a shovel at but we rarely use them as our van actually has one.  We love it there and I’m sure you would too if only you knew where it was. lol
