@Cliffdale
Were down to Pentewan 6th August we go every year
If the ship is your local we must of met
We visit this part of Cornwall at least twice a year once on the site then again just outside of trewoon just past the pyramid
Is Andy back at the ship for good and also what date is pentfest this year

Minack Theatre is well worth a visit, so is Kynance Cove, Pendennis Point and the Lizard are also some of my favourite places.

I didn't find Eden value for money nor the Lost Gardens

Yes I know this thread is two years old but this year we stayed at Heligan Woods Campsite in the Off season. It cost, remarkably next to nothing (about £10 with electric).

Anyway, whilst there we took advantage of the local bus services hence the reason for this post.

The Lost Garden of Heleigan has a free car park and the local bus goes into the car park to pick up and drop passengers,.
Far be it for me to suggest that Funsters could park in Heligan and catch the bus to nearby Mevagissey

@Cliffedale If I get chance that would be nice we will be with the cc leics group ......never been with them before so don't think i will know anybody. I am however taking the diplomatic option (cus that works best) and letting my daughter say when and where we go .......certainly for the first few days anyway. I am not a newbie but doubt I can educate you regarding motorhomeing, I have not done much touring and not been abroad..... YET! Lots of help on here of course.

Were off to Cornwall on Thursday for 5 days

Dont know where we are going to stop though just going to drive down the Motorway until we can turn of onto a coastal road

Hi Rob, I live mid way between St.Agnes and Perranporth, the weather has been good, there are lots of holiday makers but schools haven't broken up yet so it's not as bad as it can be. The Haven holiday park in Perran was absolutely heaving when I walked the dog on the Towans this afternoon. The Toll gate camp, just outside Perranporth, which is very popular, appeared to have pitches for touring vans. Have a nice trip we're being promised a scorcher for next week but they often get it wrong lol.

The soothsayers are right - Cornwall is like a beautiful girl waiting to welcome you, but she can also become a siren waiting to ensnare even a medium sized motorhome. Pretty soon you'll have lush vegetation poking through each side window as the reasonable sized lane you drove down turns into something only fit for a pony.....
A NT card will give you free access to miles of parking both cliff-top and beach access, not to mention some beautiful historical houses and the like.
Unfortunately living here I don't tend to camp much so can't give you any wild-camping tips aside from Bodmin Moor which is literally crawling with free camping spots, especially popular with smaller vans at the moment. Just watch out for the beast which is still being seen from time to time, oh and the coven of witches high up on the moor on moonless nights!
The weather has been fantastic the last few days, lots of foreign plates about especially German and Dutch. Watch out for the A30 as it's been jam packed on the single lane sections recently. Perhaps keep off it at peak times, use the B roads.

goss moor . plus at tre goss you can see the start of the river fall. .
just about anywhere in land away from the sea you can park.
truro down by the river .
there really is loads of places but you do have to move inland.
but i hope you stood and delivered up by the border with devon . we are considering bringing back the highway man .
