Cheap camp sites/hassle free places to kip in the van....

Postby Dantastic1985 » Tue Aug 21, 2012 1:02 pm

Hi Guys,

Were set on Sennen cove for the second week in Septmeber. I am looking for somewhere to pull up in the van as close to the beach as possible and walk to the beach at 6am. If this is not possible a cheap campsite would be awesome.

Cheers.

Dan

Hmm. Depends. We went to the private carpark on the right. £3 all day and no lick on the gate. We asked if we could stay (1 motorhome and one van) and he said they didnt have a license. He then said he leaves at 5 and will be back at 9. We stayed, watched the bale pushing event, got very drunk surfed at 6am for a couple of hours, had a kip then paid him another £3 as we left. Very relaxed!
