Henry’s Campsite: Quirky camping at the south tip of England


This eccentric campsite is fully booked for a reason – great location and a cool and arty ambience. The whole site is decked out with kitchy outdoor art and aesthetically pleasing plants. Each pitch has been carefully designed, with lush Mediterranean plants perfectly positioned to offer privacy. Located in the Lizard Penninsula in Cornwall, this site is in a great location to explore and relax. Being in close proximity to the sea (about a 15 minute walk) in two different directions, campers can take an off the beaten track trek or a comfortable sign posted path to the stunning coastline. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, there are a couple of shops and pubs along with a fantastic fish and chip shop (with scrumptious fresh fish) and a generous Cornish pasty shop (that baked me a pasty the size of my head filled with massive chunks of meat and veg). Closer to the tent, Henry’s has a little shop for camping essentials, including cider and crisps. There are also clean shower/toilet facilities and a games room (to entertain youngsters). If you fancy a bbq or campfire, campers can rent out a fire basket for the night for £6. If you can manage to get up early, despite the cider and late night chats, be sure to snap up some super tasty scones, baked on-site (and gone in a flash).

It's not the cheapest of campsites in the area, but the views, amenities and character of site make it well worth the extra few pounds.  A tent with two people and a car will cost around £19 a night.
