Coastal Valley Camp and Crafts

(5.0 based on 10 reviews)

A small family site with a big atmosphere. Kick your shoes off, sit back with a tea or coffee, unwind and recharge in a beautiful landscaped valley. The sound of the babbling stream harmonises with the robins and song thrush and without a car or house in sight, you have found a bit of Cornish bliss.

In the Spring the valley has a yellow and green palette, we have Silver Aspen trees, yellow gorse, daffodils and Primulas. Spring lambs calling in the fields. In the Summer the blue and lilac Agapanthus and abundant Buddleia attract the butterflies and dragon flies. Autumn brings plenty of berries to harvest, blackberries, Sloe berries, rosehips.

Rabbits are a plenty on the land but you will need to keep a keener eye out for the deer and resident Stoat, who forage under the maze of swallows and starlings.

In addition to the beautiful, relaxing Camp Site and Glamping Tents, you can, if you wish, park the car up for days!
We have 3 beaches in walking distance all accessed via public footpaths at the foot of the land. 1.25 miles, across the fields and headland is Watergate bay, (with good restaurants, surf shops and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen).  1 mile country walk to Porth Beach or Whipsiderry beach.

During our peak season we hold art & craft workshops for those that are game to explore their untapped talents and have fun with us. If you enjoyed crafts, Sewing Bee and Great British Bake Off, you will love being part of this.

Having not been to cornwall in a long time we were a little unsure on which campsite to pick. I came across this gem on the Cool Camping website, and was immediately drawn to it. We originally chose a different site, but they couldn't fit us in, and I am so glad that they couldn't because we have fallen in love with this place! From the moment we arrived I knew that this place was a bit special. Hidden away, nestled in a quiet valley, but only a short walk from the beach, beautifully natural and yet very well kept. The owners Tanya and Andy were so lovely, and made us feel at home, regular popping by to say hi to everyone whilst doing their chores. Andy even cut a huge grass stick for my son because he heard him crying and played with him for a while which cheered him up no end! They are a fountain of knowledge when it comes to places to visit, even the less 'touristy' places, and are great when it comes to suggestions for bad weather. We had an amazing time, and will definitely go back when we next visit Cornwall. Thanks guys for an amazing stay!

Stayed four nights in June and had an absolutely lovely time, tucked away in the beautiful countryside with the sound of a running stream behind where I pitched my tent. Tanya and Andy were so friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to make sure I had a lovely stay. Also met a great bunch of happy campers! Facilities were fab, nice and clean with the extra touches and it was also great to have access to a kitchen area, really handy! It was also great to be able to order bread, cakes and pasties from the local bakery. Will definitely be back if I am in the area again. A big thank you to Tanya and Andy.

We stayed here during half term with our toddler and it was perfect for a rustic family break but with enough facilities to make life for a busy family relaxed and enjoyable. We're used to camping but because we were attending a wedding we wanted a little bit of comfort and it was perfect. I have stayed in quite a few pods and this was by far the best, our travel cot fitted comfortably and it all the utensils required for self catering so no packing up of pots an pans etc! Because we have a dog we decided that I would stay with our toddler in the tent and my partner stayed outside in a pup tent with the dog. It worked really well because there is a huge outside area as well as a patio so lots of privacy and space for our little one to run around. And it was SUCH a luxury to have a bathroom. This is a perfect compromise for families, and lovely to be able to watch the chickens pottering around from your patio. I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Tanya and Andy are two of the friendliest, helpful and nice people you'd like to meet. Nothing is too much trouble and they make sure you have the best time. Great facilities - love the farm shop! You feel like you're in another world at Coastal Valley - it has the best vibe. We stayed in the Airstream which was a phenomenal experience! As I said to Tanya, I don't really want to tell anyone how good it is I want to keep it all to myself! We'll definitely be back, probably camping next time, but I will be staying in the safari hut before too long!! Couldn't recommend it more.

Just wanted to (belatedly) say what a wonderful time we had at Coastal Valley Camp & Crafts over the Easter period. Thankyou so much. Normally a reluctant camper (!), I was pleasantly surprised at how luxurious our "glamping tent was" - so much space...and comfortable beds off the ground too! The toilets and showers were clean and well maintained and the kitchen, although fairly basic, had everything we needed. The location itself was oh so peaceful with its babbling brook, "fairy glen" and calming willow weaving; I felt like we were miles away from the rat race. Truly a little haven. I almost don't want others to find this little gem!
