Highertown Farm Campsite

Highertown Farm is a peaceful campsite near quiet coves, sandy beaches and picture-perfect fishing villages. The low-key site is unmanned but you'll see the rangers who care for the site while looking after the surrounding coast and countryside. There's plenty of natural green space for relaxing or running around, some outdoor games and a shared barn.

A ten-minute hike down the wooded valley takes you to the quiet beach at Lansallos Cove, and you can loop onto the South West Coast Path from here. Walk about an hour east to Polperro harbour - it has stone steps down to a natural swimming pool. Polruan is to the west and from here you can take the ferry to to Fowey for places to eat, pubs and shops to explore. Looe, a busy fishing port and popular family beach, is a 15-minute drive away; nearby Hannfore is quieter. There are lots of great walks in the area, from the easy, one-mile Blackbottle Rock picnic walk with views all the way down to the Lizard, to the strenuous Polruan to Polperro rollercoaster walk, a 7 mile scramble along steep cliff-top ridges.

Check-in is from 1pm, with departures by 11am. For directions, group bookings, facility information, local area guides and more, please check the Guide to Highertown Farm Campsite.
