Cornwall's Ultimate Food Campsite Guide: Treveague Tops 2025 List

Cornwall has long been the crown jewel of the UK holiday scene, but in recent years, it has transformed into something even more spectacular: a culinary hotspot. Gone are the days when camping in Cornwall meant relying solely on a camping stove and a tin of beans. Today, the Cornish coast is synonymous with gourmet experiences, fresh seafood, and artisanal produce.

For travelers asking, "Where is it best to camp in Cornwall?" the answer now hinges as much on the menu as it does on the view.

Why Cornwall Is A Top Foodie Camping Destination

Cornwall offers a unique micro-climate that supports incredible produce, from dairy herds grazing on salt-lashed cliff tops to fish caught just miles from the shore. This region has become a magnet for foodie camping, blending the rugged outdoors with high-end gastronomy.

The rise of Cornish cuisine has been meteoric. With an increase in food tourism, visitors are flocking to the county not just for the surf, but for the Scallops, Saffron buns, and Stargazy pie. In fact, recent tourism trends suggest that nearly 40% of visitors to the South West cite food and drink as a primary influence on their destination choice.

When you book a stay in the best part of Cornwall to stay in (the Roseland Peninsula), you can expect:

• World-Class Seafood: In 2025 we sourced locally caught scallops, crab, and lobster caught fresh daily.

• The Pasty: Protected by PGI status, the authentic Cornish pasty is a must.

• Cream Teas: The jam-first debate continues, but the clotted cream is always local.
