If you're planning a family camping trip to Cornwall, then you're in for a treat! The southwest of England is packed with breathtaking scenery, sandy beaches, and exciting activities that will keep you and your little ones entertained for days on end. As a tourist who's been there and done that, let me give you the inside scoop on some of the top RV/campsite things to do with your kids in Cornwall.
First up, let's talk about the beaches. Cornwall is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the UK, with golden sands and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming, sandcastle building, and surfing. One of the best beaches for families is Fistral Beach, located in the vibrant seaside town of Newquay. Here you can take surfing lessons, go rock pooling, or simply relax on the sand while the kids play in the waves.
If you're looking for a more adrenaline-fuelled activity, then why not try coasteering? This is a fun and exciting activity where you jump, climb, and swim your way around the rocky coastline. It's a great way to explore the hidden coves and secret beaches that are only accessible from the water. The coasteering companies in Cornwall provide all the gear you need and will make sure that you have a safe and unforgettable experience.
For something a little more low-key, head to the Eden Project. This unique attraction is a series of giant domes that house different ecosystems, from the rainforest to the Mediterranean. Kids will love exploring the different habitats and learning about the plants and animals that live there. There are also regular workshops and events for children, including storytelling, face painting, and crafts.
If you're camping with kids, then it's always good to have some indoor activities up your sleeve in case of bad weather. Luckily, Cornwall has plenty of family-friendly indoor attractions, including the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Here you can explore the history of the sea and learn about Cornwall's maritime heritage. There are interactive exhibits, boat trips, and a collection of boats and ships to marvel at.
Last but not least, don't forget to try some of the delicious local food while you're in Cornwall. From fresh seafood to cream teas, there's something to suit every taste. For a fun and interactive foodie experience, head to Padstow and take a cooking class with one of the local chefs. You'll learn how to cook up a storm using the freshest local ingredients and get to enjoy your creations at the end of the class.
