Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping

127 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents20 acres · Cornwall, South West England

Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go swimming before breakfast in the clear water of a secluded lake. Cook your bacon and eggs over an open fire while you plan your day, or just laze it away in the peace and quiet of your own personal tipi. You can always go fishing tomorrow, and walk along the cliffs the day after that… The site is a unique woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis and tent pitches are dotted about this secret 20 acres full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Left in peace for many years there's been no modern chemicals or poisons on the land, meaning we've got bluebells, dormice, Red Admirals and shy woodland Jays for you to spot. It’s a place set apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us. We established CTH in 1996. This was the first and we believe still is the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with local knowledge or contacts if you need them. We want to offer our guests a sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment - our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth. Your footprint while here could only be bettered by a survival expert. You don't have to fly! a major bonus, and we source all our wood, fish and canvas locally and work with local people wherever possible.

Hideaway in the Hills

15 units · Motorhomes, Tents5 acres · Harlech, Gwynedd, North Wales

With a name like 'Hideaway in the Hills' expectations of Dinas campsite were high. Thankfully, they didn't disappoint. Accessed by a single lane road and nestled in a picturesque Snowdonian valley, you really do feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden gem. Small, quiet and family-friendly, Dinas Caravan Park is on mostly level ground and split between the stream-side lower field and the upper field, which is surrounded by tall oak trees. Each pitch comes complete with its very own picnic table. Campfires are, of course, what really add the cool to camping, and here they are enthusiastically encouraged. For just a couple of quid you can hire a metal fire box, then you're good to go. Firewood is helpfully brought round each evening and once those flames are flickering you can indulge in some scrumptious S'mores - toasted marshmallows with melted chocolate, sandwiched between two biscuits! Sit back and enjoy the sugar rush. Dinas is truly a place of peace, and as such the owners ask that noise is kept to a minimum between the hours of 11pm and 7.30am, with music being a no-no. All this adds to the tranquil vibe and helps everyone get a good night's kip. This truly is nature's playground – kids will be entertained for hours building dens in the forest, dams in the stream or playing on the swing. The campsite also has its very own lake where you can hire a Canadian canoe and take to the water, or bring a blow-up dingy or paddle-board and enjoy splashing around. If you like your camping a little more luxe, then Dinas also offers glamping. The pre-erected bell tent comes complete with double bed, duvet, pillows and... wait for it... your own wood heated hot tub! Somewhere in between this and a regular tent is the camping pod; you won't be sleeping under canvas as it's made of wood (and even has a carpet), but it's not too far removed from an authentic camping experience, and feels a bit like sleeping in a snug den. In truth you could quite happily spend your entire stay without venturing outside the boundary of the campsite, but then you would be missing out on some really special treats this area has to offer. The nearest beach is only four miles away and this section of coast boasts a plethora of unspoilt sandy stretches. Llandanwg beach is close by and has views across the peninsular and rock pools to explore. Shell Island (as the name suggests) is the place to head for some impressive additions to your crustacean collection. It also boasts some of the highest sand dunes in Wales to run up and roll down. Morfa Dyffyn beach is another fantastic stretch of sandy beach and if you prefer to do your sunbathing in the buff this is the place for you – walk half a mile along and you'll spot the sign which declares naturists are permitted to disrobe. Of course the best way to explore this area is on foot and the helpful folk at Dinas provide walking guides for leisurely strolls or more taxing rambles in the area. There's also a little hill called Snowdon that's not too far away, too.

Lake camping near Port Eynon guide

Overview

The concentration of campsites around this tiny seaside village give it away: Port Eynon is one of the best bases on the Gower Peninsula with its curve of sandy beach, good watersports, and scenic situation at the beginning of one of Wales’ finest coastal hikes to Rhossili Bay. Here, campers are perfectly poised to discover the Gower’s loveliest scenery, being close to Oxwich with its beach and Michelin-star dining, and to the elemental western end of the peninsula, sandy, dune-bedecked Rhossili Bay.

Where to go

Gower Peninsula

One of South Wales’ iconic destinations, all visitors love the Gower Peninsula on which Port Eynon sits. This protuberance of heath-covered, beach-rimmed land immediately southwest of Swansea is the UK’s first AONB. It has its seaside fun side, with great Blue Flag beaches and some of Wales’ best surfing, plus a wilder side on its inland moors, scattered with prehistoric sites. Its popularity with outdoor lovers ensures huge camping variety—look to Oxwich and Llangennith for top campsites.

South Carmarthenshire

Across the Loughor Estuary from the Gower west of Llanelli, the huge expanse of golden sandy coast indicates South Carmarthenshire’s shoreline. Caught between the Gower and Pembrokeshire, it gets less attention than either, and though parts are built-up, most of it is quite quiet. Cefn Sidan beach, around Pembrey Country Park, is among the UK’s biggest beaches, and there is camping in the woods back from the beach, plus an array of large sites along the coast.

Afan Forest Park Area

While on the Gower, it’s worth taking advantage of another area that you would likely otherwise travel right on by without stopping. Northeast of Port Talbot, countryside ruptures up into Afan Forest Park’s forested hills, home to some of South Wales’ top mountain biking and hiking. Then, extend explorations into even greater and lonelier forests north of CwmAfan. There’s camping at Afon Forest Park’s main mountain biking trailhead by the South Wales Miners Museum, 30 miles east of Port Eynon.

When to go

Not only can you witness the Gower’s interesting festivals, like July’s Gower Festival, but Port Eynon is also well situated for tapping into the South Wales coast’s buoyant festival scene (where August is especially lively with Swansea’s Food Festival and the Merthyr Mawr Between the Trees Festival). The Gower gets crowded in summer, so try visiting in April, May, or September to dodge crowds.
