And if you’ve set your heart on a camping or Glamping Holiday in this far south-west county, Looe is a great place to base yourself. On the south coast of the county, this popular town sits at the mouth of the East Looe River, offering a seaside destination with a scenic route inland. Whether it’s the beaches and boats or the Cornish countryside that’s tempting you to Looe, camping and glamping help you make the most of Cornwall’s milder climate and sensational scenery. We’ve selected only the best campsites to feature in the Hipcamp collection but there’s such a range here that you’re sure to find something to suit you whether you want to pitch up with a backpack and a one-man tent for the night or set up the family tent for the entire summer. Our collection also features plenty of glamping sites in Looe and its surroundings; from shepherds’ huts with views of the countryside to yurts with toasty log burners.
Things to do in Looe
Once you’ve pitched up at your campsite, you’ll be looking for thing to do in Looe. Head for the harbour to watch the fishing boats landing their daily catch and perhaps to sign up for a trip out to sea to try your luck or to visit the wildlife haven of Looe Island. Kids will love crabbing from the town’s Banjo Pier and rockpooling on Hannafore Beach, on the west side of the river. For sandcastle building and swimming, stick to the beach at East Looe, where there are gently sloping sands within easy reach of town. You can learn about the history of the town at the Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol, tuck in to fresh fish and chips and discover Kilminorth Woods. You can also hop aboard the Looe Valley Line trains for a scenic ride inland to the market town of Liskeard.
Family-friendly attractions include Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary on the outskirts of town and, slightly further afield, Porfell Wildlife Park. The Eden Project and Bodmin Moor, two of Cornwall’s best-known attractions, are also within 20 miles of Looe. For more ideas on days out from Looe, check out the Visit Cornwall website.
