What suits you when deciding on a Perranporth Camping Site?

Decide what type of Perranporth camping is right for you.  Are you happy to rough it?  Or do you prefer a Perranporth camping site with all the facilities?  Is a tent or caravan best?  Do you like the luxury of a large static or do you have your own mobile caravan?

Pick your Preferences – Facilities V Location Think about where on the Perranporth camping site suits you best.  Do you like to be near the entrance or the facilities for convenience?  Do you even need to be?  After all, if you have loos in your caravan you might not need to be nearest the toilet block.  Remember some sites are noisy.  The further from things you are the quieter it might be.

Where is your Perranporth Camping Site Located?

Everyone loves being close to the beach, after all that’s why you come to Perranporth camping sites.  The larger Perranporth camping sites are slightly out of town.  They have better facilities for entertainment and children.  But do you really want to carry those surfboards over the dunes or up the hill?  Remember, if you do decide on them then it means parking which is £3.50 per day and can be difficult to get into in the height of the season.

Find the Best Pitch

Find out the earliest time you can arrive after the previous occupants have

left, this way you get the best choice of pitches. Check out where the sun falls, if people are walking their dogs past your pitch, if animals are allowed (dog poo and children don’t mix).  Are you close to the road?  Perranporths road can be quite busy in the summer. How close are things like bin storage – remember, wasps love rubbish.  Noise carries at night especially in the countryside. You don’t have to worry about food when in Perranporth camping sites, as there are plenty of shops in the village to stock up on.  Not to mention lots of cafes and restaurants.

What to do in the rain?

Yipes!! I said the ‘R’ word, but let’s face it it’s something you have to consider in Cornwall.  How are you going to feel with soaking wet, screaming kids in a small tent?  This might be one of those times where a larger site or caravan in a smaller site might be an advantage.  Of course, the best thing to do in Perranporth when it rains is go surfing!  Then you can have a relaxing evening with warn out children. Or if you don’t have children there’s plenty to do in the town in the evening, from relaxing meals to restaurants of all types or pubs with music or footie. One of the strange things about Perranporth, is it often isn’t raining here in the summer when it is elsewhere.  This makes Perranporth camping a great place to be, and who notices when you are having fun anyway?

Price of Perranporth Camping sites

It might all come down to price.  If it does then it’s best to book your Perranporth camping site early.  Often people come at the last minute and have to put up with what is left.  This might not be the most economical or suitable option. I cannot stress enough, if you are coming to Perranporth camping sites during the summer holidays –

BOOK EARLY, or better still BOOK EVEN EARLIER!

Places in Perranporth camping grounds fill up fast.  Don’t take the chance of ruining your holiday by leaving it ‘til the last minute to find a Perranporth camping site. Do you really want to wait and see what the weather is doing?  In Cornwall if you do you won’t do anything as it is very changeable, but that’s part of the fun.  So what if it’s raining have a hot chocolate today and visit St Ives tomorrow when it’s sunny.  Better still just don your waterproofs (I hope you packed them) and take a long walk on the beach. Remember, relax have fun in Cornwall we do it directly!
