Dog friendly Cornwall camping paradise Five-star facilities

On the south coast of Cornwall, perched above the picturesque Mevagissey Bay, lies the five-star, dog-friendly Heligan Caravan and Camping Park.

Nestled within the Cornish countryside with far-reaching sea views, Heligan Caravan and Camping Park is the ultimate destination for escaping everyday life.

Within walking distance of the world-famous Lost Gardens of Heligan (discount available to Heligan Campsite guests), you'll be just a step away from losing yourself in over 200 acres of magnificent gardens, ancient woodlands and rare wildlife.

The park is home to 91 touring pitches (electric, non-electric and hard standing) and 17 stunning holiday homes, equipped with a private balcony and everything you need for a relaxing holiday, including 2 or 3 bedrooms, many with en-suites. Some of the pitches and holiday homes even come with an electric vehicle charger for your convenience. Each of the well-maintained camping and touring pitches lie amid beautiful shrubs and wild flowers, so you can spend your days immersed in nature and your nights sleeping under the stars. 

The site's latest flagship home, Azalea Lodge, is the highlight of the park, with 3 huge bedrooms, a luxurious living and dining area, utility room with washing machine, wine fridge, full-sized bath and private driveway with EV charging.

There is an on-site shop stocking holiday essentials, and an amenity block with private bathrooms and underfloor heating. This block also has a launderette and complimentary drying room with lockers for your hiking boots and wetsuits. Water points can be found throughout the park, along with handy waste disposal. Dogs are allowed on all of the pitches and in many of the holiday homes, so you can bring your four-legged friends. There are lots of lovely dog walks nearby and the site's dog shower is perfect for cleaning muddy paws when you get back.

Heligan Caravan and Camping Park is set on the South West Coast Path, with miles of countryside and stunning beaches waiting to be explored. An area rich in attractions and activities, there are cycle trails, breath-taking walks, beautiful beaches and world-class gardens on your doorstep.

Lovely site and good facilities but none of us got any sleep as the cows in the field behind the tent were mooing all night to each other. They were literally 15 feet away from the tents. Pitches...
