Bakesdown Farm

The clatter of gulls overhead and the distant rush of Cornwall's Atlantic coast set the tone at Bakesdown Farm, where canvas and guy ropes jostle gently in the sea breeze. This working farm site occupies a peaceful spot in the Cornish countryside, offering a genuine escape from the everyday while keeping the region's dramatic beaches and characterful fishing villages within easy reach.

Traditional campers, caravanners and campervan tourers will all find a welcome here, with the site maintaining that unpretentious, back-to-basics approach that Cornwall does so well. It's ideal for families seeking a proper outdoor adventure or couples wanting to explore the South West's coastal paths and hidden coves without the fuss of bells and whistles.

Facilities are straightforward and practical—clean toilet and shower blocks cover the essentials. The campfire policy needs checking on arrival, so ask at reception if you're planning to toast marshmallows under the stars. The atmosphere is refreshingly low-key, with the farm's rural rhythms and genuine Cornish character providing the real entertainment. This is camping as it should be: simple, authentic, and utterly restorative.
