Take a deep breath: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eden Valley Holiday Park is a 10-minute drive from the otherworldly biomes of the Eden Project, 20 minutes from glorious Fowey harbour, half an hour from the heart of Bodmin Moor and only <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15 minutes from the beach at Par Sands. You can walk to the Crown Inn and to Colwith Farm, which sells local produce and has a gin and vodka school on site. There\u2019s a Tesco superstore 15 minutes away in St Austell, and it\u2019s a five-minute drive to lovely Lostwithiel if you prefer antique shops and Norman castles to supermarket aisles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The caravan park is simple but impeccably maintained, with electric hook-up, showers, toilets, a laundry, a playground and an indoor games room. WiFi is free and there\u2019s a separate paddock for walking the dog. What sets <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eden Valley is the warmth of the welcome and its commitment to conservation and wildlife preservation: you\u2019ll wake up to the sound of birdsong and fall asleep to the hoot of owls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Prices:<\/strong> from \u00a316 a night for two<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Top tip:<\/strong> Land\u2019s End on your list?

Even if culture leaves you cold, you can appreciate the quality of the light as you stare out across the Atlantic from its sandy beach and the quality of the local seafood at waterfront restaurants such as the Porthminster Beach Cafe. Better still, the surrounding countryside boasts not one but two of the best caravan parks in Cornwall &#8211; Polmanter and Trevelgan, both run by members of the Osborne family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both are five-star sites just 20 minutes\u2019 walk from the town centre, with a slew of awards to their name, but Polmanter has the edge thanks to its outdoor heated pool and proximity to a decent pub, the Halsetown Inn. If walking down the road sounds too strenuous, there\u2019s a bar\/restaurant on site, with takeaways available. The showers and toilets are modern and spotless, the shop sells freshly baked bread and the kids will love the tennis courts, putting green, games room and play areas &#8211; the indoor soft play room was designed with input from the owners\u2019 own children. It\u2019s a 40-minute drive to Land\u2019s End or to the Minack open-air theatre, dramatically carved out of the cliffs; for fans of Arthurian legend, St Michael\u2019s Mount is 20 minutes away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Prices:<\/strong> from \u00a319.50 a night for two (\u00a325 a night with electric hook-up)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Top tip:<\/strong> parking in St Ives is notoriously difficult, so the park has a shuttle bus service in and out of town\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sun_Haven_Holiday_Park\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sun Haven Holiday Park<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9kBT9jVlVzA\" width=\"710\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Address<\/strong>: Mawgan Porth, Newquay TR8 4BQ<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Website:<\/strong> lovatparks.com\/locations\/cornwall\/sun-haven-park<br \/>\n<\/span><strong>Open from April to November<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everybody\u2019s going surfing in Cornwall these days, and you can get in on the act if you stay at this caravan park on the county\u2019s north coast, a 20-minute drive from Newquay and the famous Fistral beach, where hordes of Patrick Swayze wannabes congregate in summer to show off their best Point Break moves on the breakers. Those of a more sedate persuasion might prefer a stroll through the woods to Mawgan Porth beach or a leisurely lunch up the coast in Padstow, home base for the celebrity chefs Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owned by the luxury Lovat Parks group, Sun Haven Holiday Park is in a rural spot next to woodland and offers holiday homes as well as touring pitches. It has WiFi, showers, toilets, electric hook-ups, a laundry, a shop and a play area. Dogs are welcome, and there\u2019s fabulous pizza on offer at Scott and Babs, a five-minute walk away &#8211; \u201cwood-fired food in a barn on a farm\u201d.

And the telly chef isn\u2019t the only talent in town: Michelin-starred Paul Ainsworth is also based here, and the pasties at the Chough Bakery are among the finest you can find. Stay at Padstow Touring Park and you can enjoy a taste of the culinary action within a stone\u2019s throw of your caravan: the farm next door hosts a pair of pop-up restaurants in summer. Slightly less glamorously, there\u2019s a Tesco superstore a mile up the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food isn\u2019t the only reason to stay at this luxury site, owned by the Lovat Parks group, which offers posh holiday lodges as well as grass and hardstanding pitches. It\u2019s immaculately landscaped, has great views over the Camel estuary and has a dog shower and a snack bar for \u201ccanine campers\u201d. It has WiFi, showers, toilets, electric hook-ups, a laundry, a shop and a play area, and you can walk down to bustling Padstow harbour to catch the ferry to Rock beach.

Reclaimed from beneath the brambles in 1990, the 200-acre site takes you back to the Victorian era with its glasshouses and kitchen gardens, and into the treetops thanks to a rope bridge in the Jungle section, a valley full of exotic trees and plants. It\u2019s the brainchild of Tim Smit, who also created the Eden Project &#8211; and you can visit both if you stay at this peaceful campsite, which is across the road from the Lost Gardens and a 20-minute drive from the Eden Project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heligan Caravan and Camping Park would be a great place to stay even without the gardens on the doorstep. It\u2019s a 20-minute walk from Pentewan, which has pubs and a popular beach, a five-minute drive from the delightful fishing village of Mevagissey and 10 minutes from the more secluded Vault and Hemmick beaches, near Gorran Haven (better options if you\u2019re bringing your dog). The views are marvellous, the pitches have electric hook-ups, the showers, toilets and laundry are new, there\u2019s a children\u2019s play area and you can pick up essentials at the shop. The farm shop in the Lost Gardens sells meat and veg boxes, and it\u2019s a 12-minute drive to St Austell for any other supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Prices:<\/strong> from \u00a311.50 a night for two<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Top tip:<\/strong> guests can use the private beach and tennis courts at the park\u2019s sister site, Pentewan Sands &#8211; and can pay to use its indoor pools if it\u2019s raining cats and dogs<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wooda_Poughill\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wooda, Poughill<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pqpCuiExq9k\" width=\"710\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Address:<\/strong> Cornwall EX23 9HJ<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Website:<\/strong> wooda.co.uk<br \/>\n<\/span><strong>Open from March to November<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenty of campsites are family-run, but the Colwills have spent three generations pouring their heart and soul into this five-star campsite with sea views near Bude, which is regularly voted one of the best coastal towns in Britain. They turned a working farm into a holiday park in 1975 &#8211; the milking parlour is now a bar and restaurant, one of three on site &#8211; and family members look after the food, the activities and the beauty salon. If the fishing lake, pitch-and-putt course, play area, tennis, badminton, indoor archery, tractor rides, lambs and \u201cwellness barn\u201d aren\u2019t enough to keep you entertained, there are walking and cycling trails from the gates, and you can book fitness sessions, yoga classes or surfing and kayaking lessons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a half-hour walk or short bus ride from Wooda to Bude, for a great range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as Summerleaze Beach, a glorious stretch of sand with a sea pool for swimming and paddleboarding. The rugged Hartland coast is great for yomps along the cliff or lazy days on beaches such as Sandymouth, followed by an evening at the Preston Gate Inn, a cracking boozer near Wooda that serves refined pub grub and beers from breweries in Cornwall or Devon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Prices:<\/strong> from \u00a325 a night for two<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Top tip:<\/strong> for a day of sea fishing over wrecks and sandbanks, head to Clovelly, across the Devon border.

It\u2019s a beautiful stretch of coastline dotted with tin mines where you can imagine Cap\u2019n Ross slipping off his stallion for a passionate clinch with Demelza. Carry on the Poldark vibe with a pint or a pie at the Smugglers Den, a 16th-century thatched inn 10 minutes\u2019 drive from Perran Sands.
