Trewethett Farm, Tintagel

Perched on the north Cornish clifftops at Trethevy, just outside Tintagel, Trewethett Farm is a Caravan and Motorhome Club campsite that goes out of its way for dogs. The setting alone makes it a strong choice for active dog owners: the South West Coast Path runs close by, with walks down to the sea and along the cliffs starting more or less from the pitch.

What sets the site apart is its dedicated dog facilities. There is a secure, enclosed off-lead exercise area where dogs can run freely, complete with toys, a waste bin and even a covered shelter so owners can wait out a rain shower while their dog burns off energy. Around the rest of the site dogs are welcome on leads, and the coastal footpath gives easy access to longer walks and the beach.

Guests travelling with dogs consistently single out that fenced dog park as a highlight, describing it as a genuinely useful, secure space rather than a token gesture. The wider site earns warm marks too, with visitors praising the clean facilities, the tiered layout that gives most pitches a sea view, and friendly, helpful staff.

The main thing to be aware of is that, as on any busy campsite, a small number of guests have grumbled about other people not picking up after their dogs, so it pays to keep your own routine tidy. The site asks that dogs are booked in advance, with up to one pet per pitch by arrangement.

Trewethett Farm suits dog owners touring Cornwall by caravan or motorhome who want clifftop views, direct coast-path walking and proper on-site space for their dog to let off steam.
