The Atlantic wind carries salt and stonecrop across the headland, and from most pitches you can hear the low rumble of Harlyn Bay breaking on sand.

This is a caravan and campervan site perched on the north Cornwall coast, perfectly placed for families chasing surf beaches and couples walking the clifftops toward Trevose Head. The area's known for its string of golden bays — Harlyn, Constantine, Mother Ivey's — and the coastal path runs close enough to make this a proper base for anyone exploring on foot. Dog owners should ask about the policy before booking, as rules vary by season and pitch.

The facilities aren't detailed, so check what's onsite when you arrive — same goes for campfires, which may be allowed depending on conditions and location. It's a touring park in the traditional sense: hardstandings, sea air, and that particular north Cornwall combination of big skies and working farmland. Anglers might appreciate that The Alps Fishery sits just over a kilometre inland if the surf's flat. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stopover with the coast as the main attraction.

South West Coast Path (Section 15: Padstow to Porthcothan)
