Hi I am looking for a seaside campsite in above area for august as i want to take family camping with others for a week and i hate having to drive to the beach and then drive back would love to be able to walk, carry kayaks and fishing gear.

we dont need the Ritz but basic clean amenities would be wonderful.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Its not devon or cornwall, but we went to a lovely little campsite near bridport last summer, eype farm or something like that. just down the cliff path to a lovely little pebble beach. steep walk though, good for the legs! toilets and showers a haven for spiders but clean enough. also on coastal path. hope that helps.

Hi Mr MagOO
Beachside (www.beachside.co,uk)and St Ives bay (www.stivesbay.co.uk) are both set in sand dunes and have there own paths to a long sandy bay at Hayle oppsite St Ives. Only diadvantage the sea is a long way out at low tide and they do get very busy in August.

Lovely beach at Eype, I caught my first Mackerel using feathers from it a few years ago, first cast too!!

The drive down to the car park can be a bit hairy!

I see Mr Mag00's post was over 2 years ago now, where did you end up going?
