Cheap and Easy Travel

If you are thinking about holidaying in the UK, then summer always seems to come first to Cornwall – probably because of its warm, southern position. Not only that, but the Cornish sea is famed for its good surfing. And if you really want a fun holiday, and to save money as well, you could give some thought to camping. A holiday under canvas will save you a phenomenal amount of money, and there is just something about tents and campsites that gets everybody out of themselves, and into the holiday mood.

Giving some great views across Porthmeor Bay, is the Ayr Holiday Park. From here you can see over to the rocky headland, known as the Island. The campsite is renowned not just for its views, but also for fine washrooms, which is a great reassurance for campers who are a little afraid that they might end up roughing it. The site is just a few minutes walk away from St Ives, where you can have a beer or a coffee in the vibrant bars and cafes, and enjoy fine sandy beaches. Also, if you don’t feel like struggling over your camp stove to prepare a meal, St Ives offers a good range of eateries.

Another Cornish campsite with excellent views is the aptly named Bay View Farm situated high up on a hill top, from where you can see over west Looe and over to St George’s Island. The site is not far from the picturesque village of Polperro, which is very popular with the tourists.

Then not far from Newquay is the Trevornick Holiday Park, which is close to the Holywell Bay beach, which great for swimming and surfing. Here there is no shortage of entertainment – there is a funfair and crazy golf nearby, and the site has a large children’s adventure playground, swimming pool, bars and restaurants. You don’t even have to worry about pitching your own tent, as they have luxury Eurotents already standing and available for hire.

Cornwall is one of the UK’s great places for a holiday, and camping allows you to have an inexpensive vacation there, leaving enough money over for ice creams and cream teas.
