The crash of Atlantic waves against the cliffs carries across the headland here, mingling with the cries of gulls wheeling overhead and the rustle of coastal grasses in the salt-laden breeze. This is proper Cornish clifftop camping, perched on the dramatic South West Coast Path between Land's End and Penzance, where the sea feels ever-present and the light shifts constantly across the water.
St Loy Camping suits hardy campers and caravanners who value location over luxury, plus walkers tackling this spectacular stretch of coastline. The site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, making it accessible for various touring styles. You're in mining country here, where engine houses dot the landscape and tiny coves hide between granite headlands.
Facilities are straightforward—toilets and showers provide the essentials after days exploring the coast path or scrambling down to hidden beaches. Campfires may be permitted, but check the current policy on arrival as conditions vary. The atmosphere is gloriously unfussy, all about the raw beauty of this western tip of Cornwall and the satisfaction of sleeping within earshot of the sea.
