About Callestick Camping
Tucked at the valley's edge above Callestick village, this 25-acre back-to-basics site offers proper space and that wild camping feel without the fuss. Spread across four fields with only a handful of pitches, there's room to roam with kids and dogs, and firepits are positively encouraged beside your tent. Views stretch across patchwork fields to a historic tin mine on the horizon – especially lovely at dusk.
It's a 10-minute stroll down to Callestick's famous ice-cream parlour, where the range runs from classic flavours to dairy-free options, plus sundaes and hot food at wallet-friendly prices. Perranporth's sandy beach – glorious for riding at sunset or catching waves – lies under 10 minutes by car, while walkers have myriad trails threading the surrounding countryside.
Facilities keep things simple: gas-heated shower, toilets, washing-up area and chemical disposal, but no electric hook-ups. Leave the hairdryer at home and embrace the off-grid vibe.

What visitors say
The ice cream was amazing and very reasonably priced unfortunately my order was wrong and when queried it the young man who served me was extremely rude and said it was what I ordered and juat threw it in the bin and said would make me another and ro go outside and wait. I may or may not return not a great experience for first time. I know if was 430 when there but customers at the end of the day deserve be treated like those from first thing.

Absolutely amazing shake! Probably the best I've ever had. Really friendly staff and a beautifully kept setting as well, couldn't ask for more!

If you like ice cream, and are in North Cornwall, you’ll likely have eaten the ice cream from here. This is a factory / farm site, with a small shop to sell directly. They sell their current range of ice creams for scoop with a few optional extras, such as panini’s, shakes, and sundaes. Quite reasonably priced. The seating area is limited inside, with more outside and quite a few in total… but you don’t come for the seating… you come to eat your weight in icecream!
