The rhythmic crash of Atlantic waves and the cry of gulls drifting inland set the tone at The Sea Forts, where the Cornish coast feels wonderfully close. This straightforward coastal campsite welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to a corner of Cornwall where dramatic clifftops and sandy coves define the landscape, and the sea air carries that distinctive salt-and-seaweed scent that marks proper seaside camping.
Perfect for families and couples seeking an authentic Cornish camping experience without unnecessary frills, The Sea Forts puts you within easy reach of the region's famous beaches and coastal paths. The South West Coast Path offers endless walking opportunities, while nearby fishing villages and surf spots provide plenty of exploration between lazy camp days.
Facilities cover the essentials with toilets and showers keeping things simple and functional. Campfire enthusiasts should check the policy on arrival, as permissions may vary. The atmosphere here is relaxed and unpretentious—a place where the focus stays firmly on the natural surroundings rather than on-site entertainment, letting Cornwall's raw coastal beauty take centre stage.
