Franchis Holidays

The cry of gulls drifts inland on the salt breeze, and Cornwall settles around you in that easy, end-of-the-road way it has down here in the far South West.

This is a straightforward site for campers, caravanners and motorhomers who want a base without the bells and whistles — perfect for families spreading out for a proper Cornish fortnight, couples touring the coast, or anyone using it as a jumping-off point for beaches, cliff walks and the kind of pasty debates that get surprisingly heated. The region's the draw here: you're in proper Cornwall, where the light's different and the pace drops a gear.

Onsite you've got clean toilets and showers — the essentials sorted — and pitches that take tents, campervans and caravans without fuss. Campfires are worth checking on when you arrive, so ask at reception if you're planning to bring wood. It's a practical, no-frills kind of place where the focus is on getting out and exploring rather than hanging around the facilities.
