The sweetest little campsite in Cornwall near St Austell

 

A charming campsite that has just recently been revamped and re opened near St Austell Cornwall is The Meadows, Pentewan (near Mevagissey) St Austell.
The campsite had a lovely family feel to it. I really loved that it was dog friendly and great dog walks nearby.
The campsite had a real cute feel to it, like flicking through the pages of a Cath Kidston catalogue with all the bunting and the lovely retro feel to the site.
It is a small site and you can also stay in the cutest vintage caravan called Lottie and hire a Tepee tent it felt like festival camping at its best.
The campsites best feature is the old Citroen van that turned up with Cakes and freshly made Crepes the kids thought the van rocked! and the pancakes.

It is close to the Eden project and a short walk to the Gardens of Heligan.
Charming, sweet, vintage camping like it used to be.

 The Meadows is lovely and the van that turned up with freshly made Crepes made it even better!

If we had not been in the camper I would have loved a night in Lottie their vintage caravan (so sweet)

 

Everything is brand new a lovely and clean I felt stressed when my kids did the washing up...luckily it was outside.

 Anyone for fresh eggs in the morning?

Lovely day trip to Mevagissey crabbing in the harbour

The Lizard and the most southerly point in the UK

Camping in the most southerly point in the UK near the Lizard

Some great places to visit in the Lizard we went to the most Southerly point in the UK and got to see so many great sights, including a seal bobbing about below us at The Lizard.
There is the most amazing campsite in the village called Henry's campsite my children are desperate to stay there but it was full when we arrived. If you love a campsite that is a bit quirky and different this is for you. We loved the chickens running around the site and the lovely pitches that all looked different some with stone walls, some with trees. There is a communal fire pit and a real organic feel to the site....I love the look of it! I am planning my next visit to Cornwall around Henry's campsite.

Kynance Cove is a must, such an amazing part of the UK and the rock is Serpentine stone and only found on the Lizard (hence the name). Serpentine stone can be found in other countries but this is the finest example of the rock in the UK. My kids loved the cove and spent hours running in and out of the caves and the turquoise sea.

 Henry's campsite in The Lizard I cant wait to book in soon

 

 I loved the ducks and chickens running around the site

 

 A great find....Henrys campsite is not your run of the mill campsite if you want somewhere a little different with real character and a quirky edge this is for you!

Camping in Dorset

 

 

Had a great camping trip in Dorset with my friend and her children during the heatwave in July 2013. We ended up at a Parkdean campsite in Poole called Sandford after a recommendation from a friend.

It was a huge site with a Shop, chipshop, arcade and entertainment. We decided to stay there because it had two swimming pools, indoor and outdoor.

If I am honest I think we didn't have much luck with our pitch because it was like sleeping on the side of the M25 and I didn't feel safe with the kids playing around the pitch because of all the cars driving past. It is not somewhere I would stay again but I know a friend of mine loves it and goes every year. I was also disappointed that my daughter had a shower and left her Northface fleece hanging in her shower cubicle with her playsuit she was wearing that day and no-one handed it in to lost property. I have always had items handed in before and I always hand in the smallest item I find, I felt really disappointed.

It was a great base to visit Corfe castle which the kids loved and we spent the whole day in the village we also enjoyed afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches and went to the model village brilliant day for the kids.

Durdle Door is also close by and great to visit. I did notice a campsite at the top of the road to Durdle door and that is my next campsite to visit in Dorset.
