Roseland Peninsula

Post by Cygnetory »

Two of us are following the south Cornwall and Devon Coast from Penzance on Saturday. Our first night will be on the Roseland Peninsula which I want to explore (St Just, St Anthony etc). Problem is the campsites are ridiculously expensive at this time of year (eg £26!) While that's probably good value for a massive campervan or caravan with 4x4 towing it, I don't want to pay it for a tiny tent. Has anyone got any suggestions for a discreet stealth camp site anywhere on the Roseland Peninsula? I've looked at Towan beach, which can be accessed via a bridleway - but is there any flat ground there that's not too visible? Or anywhere else accessible on the coastal path? Any suggestions will be most welcome.

You could try Nare Head. There is a remote National Trust car park at gr 922381 where I camped in October. (admittedly it was in our old camper), but there's plenty of green and some shelter.
