Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping

127 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents20 acres · Cornwall, South West England
Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go swimming before breakfast in the clear water of a secluded lake. Cook your bacon and eggs over an open fire while you plan your day, or just laze it away in the peace and quiet of your own personal tipi. You can always go fishing tomorrow, and walk along the cliffs the day after that… The site is a unique woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis and tent pitches are dotted about this secret 20 acres full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Left in peace for many years there's been no modern chemicals or poisons on the land, meaning we've got bluebells, dormice, Red Admirals and shy woodland Jays for you to spot. It’s a place set apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us. We established CTH in 1996. This was the first and we believe still is the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with local knowledge or contacts if you need them. We want to offer our guests a sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment - our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth. Your footprint while here could only be bettered by a survival expert. You don't have to fly! a major bonus, and we source all our wood, fish and canvas locally and work with local people wherever possible.

At the mouth of the River Exe in South Devon, not from Exeter city, this vibrant, waterside town makes the most of a location where river meets sea. Water-sports enthusiasts are in their element and the area is particularly good for kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and sailing. But the coastal footpath and excellent cycling routes and mean outdoorsy types are just as at home on dry land too. The best way to stay, in the humble opinion of the Hipcamp travel experts, is to pitch up for a spot of Exmouth camping or glamping and, as always, they’ve been out and about finding the very best sites for our handpicked selection.

Overview

Camping and glamping in Exmouth

Situated at the mouth of the River Exe and at the gateway to the world-famous Jurassic Coast, Exmouth in South Devon is a fantastic place to pitch up for a holiday. It’s one of South Devon’s oldest and most picturesque towns with two miles of golden sands. Just 11 miles from the city of Exeter, it’s also a relatively easy part of Devon to reach and is said to have been the first holiday resort in the county. It’s little wonder then that there are loads of campsites and caravan parks in and around Exmouth. We steer clear of the large-scale holiday-park style sites and look for places that have individuality and charm. Sometimes these are classic camping sites where you can pitch a tent and enjoy the simpler things in life and sometimes they are glamping sites where you can kick back and relax in relative luxury from the moment you arrive. Often, they are a little further off the beaten track, but we think that’s all part of the charm. Whether you want somewhere to pitch your tent, a place to park up in a campervan or are looking for a bell tent, yurt or shepherd’s hut near Exmouth, our collection should have something to suit you.

Things to do in Exmouth

From kitesurfing to crazy golf, fossil hunting to cycling, there’s plenty of things to do in and around Exmouth. It’s a large town with all the shops and eateries you could ask for, beyond the longest promenade in Devon. Taking a stroll along the esplanade is almost obligatory during a stay and it’s here that you’ll find ice cream kiosks, amusements and places to jump aboard the town’s land train that can whisk you along the prom and in to town. If you prefer to travel under your own steam you can walk on the well-signposted South West Coast Path or cycle on the Exe Estuary Cycle Trail which links destinations from Exeter to Dawlish. Watersports enthusiasts will be in their element as Exmouth is known as a destination for kitesurfing and wakeboarding.

Nature lovers will be wowed by the opportunity for fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast, which stretches east in to Dorset while winter glamping brings the best birdwatching opportunities as waders and wildfowl flock to the Exmouth Nature Reserve’s tidal mud flats and sandbanks. For more ideas on things to do during a camping or Glamping Holiday in Exmouth, take a look at the Visit South Devon website.
