About Blackthorn Campsite
Tucked into the Cornish countryside near Delabole, this family-run site strikes a lovely balance between peaceful rural setting and practical convenience. Spotless facilities—showers, toilets, and a washing-up area—serve a small field where you'll find hardstanding serviced pitches alongside electric and non-electric grass options. Donkeys, goats, and chickens potter about, adding to the farm atmosphere, while rural footpaths fan out in all directions for walkers (well-behaved dogs welcome year-round).
The village itself sits just a few minutes' walk away, offering a shop, two pubs, and a bus stop with connections across north Cornwall. Coastal gems like Polzeath, Boscastle, and Tintagel Castle are all short drives, making this an excellent base for exploring both the dramatic coastline and the wilds of Bodmin Moor. Barbecues and firepits are allowed as long as they're raised off the ground, keeping things relaxed and unpretentious—a genuinely warm welcome in a spot that feels quietly special.

What visitors say
small number of pitches on gravel very nicely put together...clean showers and toilets too. owners very friendly and you have the added benefit with the company of the donkeys, goats and chickens. there is a large field too so great for the dogs. local pub is quite basic but the food was really good and everyone is extremely friendly. some nice walks and close to bus routes ....would definitely return.

10/10 - highly recommended! We recently stayed in John and Heidi’s double decker bus with our young family. What an absolute pleasure - John and Heidi were superb hosts and were so welcoming. The site, facilities and accommodation were spotless, such a lovely quiet site with far reaching views. We would highly recommend this campsite - the bus was absolutely brilliant, hosts were great and we can’t wait to stay again.
