Why come to the South West, if not for its wide open beaches beneath the warm sky, secluded bays and acres of countryside, crossed only by winding lanes? There are more quaint fishing villages than urban jungles and heaving traffic jams. To match that sense of calm, try these sites with the same cosy and petite vibe. There's a real village feel, and you'll pitch by just a few friendly neighbours at these delightfully small campsites in Cornwall.
