Old Coastguards Campsite is a coastal campsite near Pendeen Watch in Cornwall, UK, with a family- and pet-friendly positioning. Set in a cliffside area with sea views, it is close to Pendeen lighthouse and two beaches, while also offering convenient access to St Just, Sennen, Penzance, and Land’s End. According to the website, it has partnered with the Camping and Caravan Club and now operates as a members-only certified site, so a membership number is required when booking.
The campsite leans toward a “wild campsite” style, but it is not completely without facilities. Current amenities include 3 composting toilets, 2 LPG showers, a cold-water washing-up/hand-washing area, 2 drinking water points, and an Elson Point for campervans/motorhomes. Dogs are allowed, and campfires and portable BBQs are also permitted, provided safety and hygiene are properly managed. Nearby local amenities include the North Inn, a village Tapas restaurant, a SPAR shop, and fresh lobster available by advance request.
The main site does not provide a formal price list. User reviews mention a price of £20 for an overnight stay in a T5 campervan without a tent, describing it as fair given the location and facilities. As a result, actual pricing may vary depending on season, pitch, tent/vehicle type, or membership rules, so visitors should still use Book Now or contact the campsite directly to confirm. Payment methods are not disclosed.
The main strengths are its distinctive natural setting: sea views, beaches, lighthouse, and nearby mining museum all give it strong destination appeal. Its small family-run nature also helps create a warmer, more personal welcome. It is pet-friendly, allows fires and BBQs, and offers basic showers and toilets, making it practical for self-drive campers. Downsides include the fact that the campsite is still developing, with the children’s play area not yet fully completed; the members-only model creates a barrier for casual visitors; and the website provides only basic information, lacking a full price list, pitch capacity details, detailed rules, and a cancellation policy.
It is best suited to campers who enjoy the Cornwall coast, are comfortable with simple facilities, and value a nature-focused experience. It is also a good fit for dog owners, short campervan/motorhome stopovers, and family weekend breaks. It is less suitable for those looking for resort-style amenities, swimming pools and entertainment, glamping, or a fully transparent instant online booking experience.
This is a standard UK campsite website and should generally be directly accessible from mainland China. However, actual booking and travel are highly dependent on local UK travel arrangements. For Chinese users, it is more useful as a reference for planning a UK self-drive trip or a Cornwall camping itinerary.
