About The Old Stables Campsite
Tucked near Connor Downs, The Old Stables Campsite strikes a rare balance between affordability and genuine quality—recognition as 2025's runner-up for Best Budget Friendly Campsite speaks volumes. Campers consistently praise the immaculately clean, modern shower blocks with hot water and accessible facilities, while spacious pitches give everyone room to breathe. The on-site food truck serving breakfast and dinner is a brilliant touch, saving you the hassle of meal prep after a long coastal walk.
Beyond traditional tent and motorhome pitches (with or without hookups), there are shepherd's huts and camping pods for those wanting a bit more comfort. Staff earn repeat mentions for their friendly, helpful approach, creating a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. With campfires allowed and a freezer for ice blocks, it's ideal for families or dog-owners seeking a peaceful, well-equipped base for exploring Cornwall's north coast.

What visitors say
A lovely site perfectly located on the bus route from St Ives to Truro. Pitches are very spacious and EHU was very reliable. Toilet and shower blocks are kept immaculately clean and well serviced. Camp owners are extremely pleasant and helpful, they allowed me to get Amazon parcels delivered to reception for cycle spares I had forgotten to bring. Great value for money and highly recommended.

We love this campsite, been going every year now for the last 5 years, its so peaceful. Toilets and showers are all modern and are always immaculate. Owners are always helpful and very welcoming. The food and breakfast truck they have are also great! Only 5 min drive from Godrevy beach and the cliffs, its a perfect location and can't wait to visit again!

Great place and very welcoming people. After talking to the host they extended checkout for hours and made a stressful day into a bliss. Breakfast was awesome too with fresh eggs and great service (thanks for the extra strong coffee).
