Hassle Free Camping
We are now offering tented accommodation on our Cornwall Walking Holidays.
If you fancy a cheaper and more exciting walking holiday, try camping. We provide all the equipment, move the tents to a different location each day and even put them up for you. All you have to do is walk.
You don’t need to worry about putting up tents in the dark, taking them down in the wet or turning up to a full campsite. We do all that for you. With our top of the range tents, comfortable air beds, bedding and cooking equipment waiting for you and ready to use, all you have to do is turn up and put the kettle on.
How it works
As with our standard B&B based walking holidays, we take care of almost everything. Your accommodation, maps, itinerary, luggage transfers and planning are arranged by us.
1. After planning, booking and arriving in West Cornwall, we collect you from the train station and take you to your campsite at the walk start point.
2. Your tent is already pitched, so you put the kettle on and relax (we supply gas stoves, kettles etc). After dinner you relax some more and have a good night's sleep (air bed is provided so there are no hard floors to contend with).
3. After breakfast you wash the dishes, put your boots on, lock the tent and hit the coast path.
4. We come along, pack everything up, move it on to the next campsite, set it up again and leave your baggage locked inside.
5. You arrive at the campsite, find the tent and enjoy a well earned drink.
6. Repeat until you finish the entire route.
7. At the tour end we pack everything up, put you and the tent in the car and take you back for your departing train.
