The smell of salt and gorse hits you before you've even pitched — this is proper Cornish clifftop country, where the light changes with every passing cloud and the gulls wheel overhead from first light.

Tregonger Dawn takes tents, campervans and caravans, so it suits anyone really — families wanting a coastal base, couples chasing that end-of-the-road feeling, or solo campers happy to wake to big skies and Atlantic air. You're in deepest Cornwall here, the kind of place where lanes narrow to single track and the coast path is never far. It's the sort of spot that reminds you why people drive all the way down the A30.

Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite, everything you need without the bells and whistles. Ask about campfires when you arrive, as policies can vary. The vibe feels low-key and genuine, the kind of site where you slow down, breathe properly, and remember what camping's actually for.

Tamar Valley Discovery Trail

Follows the River Tamar through Devon and Cornwall, offering gentle riverside paths and some moderate climbs with estuary views. Mostly flat along the waterside sections but expect undulating terrain through wooded areas. Suitable for older children on sections, though full trail length and uneven paths make it challenging for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads. Worth it for stunning tidal landscapes, historic quays, and wildlife spotting including herons and kingfishers along this Area of Outstandi

Two Castles Trail

Follows ancient paths between Launceston and Okehampton castles across the Devon-Cornwall border, traversing Dartmoor's northern fringes with moderate climbs through moorland, farmland and wooded valleys. Suitable for older children but too long and rugged for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers stunning moorland vistas, historic sites, and genuine wilderness sections – a proper two-day adventure with camping opportunities mid-route.
