Camping in Cornwall is a popular choice for many holidaymakers in the UK. As a county, Cornwall has hundreds of places to camp, many of which have been granted awards for their quality. Apart from local awards by Cornish associations, many sites have received national honours like the David Bellamy Conservation Awards, for green tourism and grading by bodies like the British Tourist Authority.
Campers can choose from a multitude of different locations across Cornwall's length and breadth. Camping pitches can be found on moors and cliffs overlooking beaches, in meadows and forests, beside lakes and rivers and a wealth of other environments. Some sites have pitches running in to their hundreds spread over many acres, while others are more intimate, with just a few.

Most sites are open to everyone, whether families, couples, lone travellers or groups. But some sites, do have limitations, for example not allowing big groups, like stag and hen parties. Other restrictions may apply to animals, although many, but not all sites, welcome responsible dog owners.
Prices vary depending on the time of year and the amenities the site has to offer. Larger pitches for caravans, trailer tents and motor homes will obviously cost more than small pitches for two person tents. Some sites charge by night and also offer week or weekend rates as well as those per night. Some are only open between April and October, but there are plenty open all year round, many offering special rates during non-peak seasons.
Many camping sites and parks also accommodate those who don't own their own tent, caravan or motor home. Static caravans are quite common and there are also 'alternative' types of accommodation on offer such as camping pods. Camping pods are designed for those who enjoy the experience of tent camping but fancy staying in more robust accommodation. The pods are actually insulated wooden huts, with an adjoining decking area which can be used for cooking. Like tents, they have no bathroom but there will be bathroom facilities on site, as well as sinks for washing up.
Amenities at camping sites and parks will vary and may include swimming pools, bars, restaurants, games rooms, shops selling provisions and camping equipment and play areas for kids. Some may also offer free services like WI-FI, airbed inflation or battery charging and electric hook ups and water points are widely available. There are also plenty of sit
