Down south camp sites?
Our holiday has been cancelled and we’re due a refund soon. So I would like to try do some camp sites in the south. Cornwall ideally. I don’t want to spend 7 days in 1 place so I’m looking for a couple of recommendations for a couple of sites.

We’ve 2 young boys to entertain so would like a play area for them but apart from that it’s just somewhere nice.

Any suggestions please? Thanks

Grafty has a campsite it’s just in Devon, maybe worth dropping him a pm, of course it all depends when you “hope” to come down to Cornwall Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90

A group of us stayed at Ocean pitch in Croyde last year and couldn't fault it. Spitting distance to the beach, a few good pubs and lots of routes for walking and cycling. We slept in the LR whilst some mates slept in a Transit and they charged us just as basic camping rather than adding the cost of car/camper-van to a tent price https://oceanpitch.co.uk/

Can also recommend this one, much more space for ball games etc and relaxed rules on music/noise in the evening or group bookings if that's what you are looking for. The only downside is it's a good hump back up the hill from Polzeath town http://polzeathcamping.co.uk/southwinds/ 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

Stowford farm meadows in ilfracombe north devon.

In laws have a caravan there we use all the time.

Its an awesome camp site with play areas, children's entertainment, restaurant, bar, fish and chip shop and also a really nice little petting farm.

Definitely recommend it and theres a few nice towns local in north devon that arent far from it.

We love it there!

Hendra just on the fringe of Newquay is great for the kids with a pool and lots of entertainment for the little ones.
very clean and tidy, quiet and well run.

There are lots to choose from with stunning sites and views through out Cornwall, also lots of web sites with those little gems hidden away 2016 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 TDV8

Not camping but a Land Rovering chum of mine, has some cottages in Cornwall that are not at all expensive.

A friend rang me last night he had planned a caravan holiday in Devon and booked a pitch on a caravan site in January this year , he was due to arrive next week the owner of the site rang him yesterday asking for a £5000 (five thousand pound) extra non refundable deposit, needless to say he is now taking his holiday somewhere else. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

I live in Wadebridge just a few minutes drive from Rock and Padstow , and I’ve got to say it’s the busiest I’ve ever know it down here Shocked but I do like to see it busy Thumbs Up

Valley caravan Park in Polzeath is great for camping etc as only 200 yards from the beach Thumbs Up

Shocked

Did he give a reason? I understand having people pay a reasonable chunk of the cost of their stay to ensure your not left out of pocket for no shows, but £5k is a bit steep! 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
