Camping at Tristram Park, Polzeath
by The Noodleburgers on 04 Apr 2008 05:57:
Hi All
Just to let you know Dave and I were camping last week at a lovely site in Polzeath. It was right beside the glorious beach and we could see the sea from our bed. The weather was quite nice during the day but it all got a little bit rough at night. We had my nieces with us so I put Dave up in the roof. There was no way our Bongo was going to topple!!!!
We were only one of four campers at the site but I have to say it was pretty expensive. £30.00 a night and you then still had to pay 50p for a shower which I felt was an outrage. The location was perfect and nice little shops but as from end of March dogs no longer allowed on the beach so we wont be back there this year.
Looking forward to seeing you all next month.
Kathy & Dave.

Blimey £30 a night I was going to go there last year, we love Polzeath.
That is very steep for out of season, we might be going back to trevornick near Holywell bay thats a good un.

Dog friendly beach in cornwall
by egor110 on 20 Mar 2008 08:34
I'm in cornwall (wadebridge) this weekend doing a dog show, i'm staying at crantock but crantock beach has height barrier going into the beach does anyone know of another beach in the area i can drive to?
Obviously it needs to be dog friendly.

Egor, Perranporth is just around the corner from Newquay. This is definatley a dog freindly beach. Poo bins included at the top of the beach.
You can park right on the front. There is a barrier to the car park which states 2.1m but you will clear it in an AFT. We are regular users of this beach and car park.
By the way there is a 'Pub on the Beach'. Yes on the beach. You have to walk to it but the food and drinks are excellent. And the view is simply, STUNNING.
Hope this helps. Tim.
coco bongo on 20 Mar 2008 22:05: I second that Tim, Perranporth is lovely and only 7-8 miles from the outskirts of Newquay. Haven't been to the pub on the beach but it looks a good un'.
They have got a website with a web cam if you want to take a look.

Cornish beach question
by egor110 on 05 Apr 2007 07:50
I'm down cornwall this weekend with the dogs, staying at crantock but thinking of heading to bedruthan step and trevaunance cove.
Are they places ok to get to in the bongo? are there any of those barriers by the car parks? also if you can recommend any other nice beaches to take the dogs let me know, i'll be going from crantock to wadebridge each day so if its on route even better.
egor110, Try this link, the bit you want is 1/3 of the way down.

All the best HC.
by Doone on 05 Apr 2007 19:05: Bedruthan is one of my favourites. It's a fairly steep descent (and ascent!) Great view with a good walk at low tide. I haven't been there for a couple of years but there was no barrier last time - the carpark was off the cliff road, above Bedruthan. There are dog friendly beaches listed on this link:

by egor110 on 29 Oct 2006 20:54: Can anyone reccomend a campsite or sites reasonably near to wadebridge and cambourne? I do a lot of agility comps between may and oct at these 2 places and intend to stay over next year.
Main requirments are there dog friendly with walks nearby and as near to a dog friendly beach as poss.
I've been looking at porth beach tourist park. trevornick holiday park, beacon farm touring park st.agnes and mother iveys bay near padstow but personal recomendations are better than looking at a website.
Keswick on 29 Oct 2006 21:47: I can't help with actual sites but I would recommend you stick with smaller sites dedicated in the main to tourers, campers and motorhomes and not large sites dominated by static caravans.
scooter crazy on 29 Oct 2006 23:22: Hi We stay at; Higher Harlyn Park in the village of St Merryn. Its a nice site not far from Wadebridge and Camborne-there are 7 beaches in the area, some a short walk from the site( most dog friendly) it has a shop and a pub on site. hope this helps. Anjie.
