About Via Ferrata Cornwall
This family and dog friendly campsite is part of an award winning outdoor pursuits centre, with an incredible range of onsite activities (subject to availability). The site is exclusively for campers with tents only, with ten grass pitches without electric hook up and five with 16 amp electric hook up. Each one is set in its own spot with plenty of space. Lovely beaches are just 15 minutes away by car, including Swanpool which has golden sands and plenty to do, and Gyllyngvase with lovely views and a cafe and snack bar. Set amongst 60 acres, there really is something for everyone. Take on the Via Ferrata course, take to the water in a kayak, canoe or paddle board, discover the thrill of coasteering and rock climbing, or see if you can hit the bullseye with archery. Conveniently all onsite you'll find a Zip Wire Safari, three exhilarating zip wires which see you flying around their stunning quarry to your heat's content. There is also an ultimate high wire adventure involving scaling cliff faces, balancing across the high wire bridge and zip-lining. Please note, all the activities listed are an extra. Campers are not permitted to access the water/quarries for watersports or swimming with their own kit but must book any activities separately as they are led by qualified Instructors. Why not discover the adventure activities, or sit back and relax with lovely views over Falmouth Bay, just 20 minutes away by car. Dog owners please note, there are two types of pitches, electric bays and non electric field camping. Dogs are permitted in the electric bays but are not allowed in the main field. Elsewhere on the site, dogs are welcome at the cafe and in the nature trails, however they are not permitted in the wild play area for children. Please keep them on the lead at all times to avoid the dangers of quarry edges. Campfires and BBQs are allowed, just please keep them raised off the grass.
