Summit Camping is a family friendly and dog friendly pop-up site, believed to be the highest campsite in Cornwall at the foot of Kit Hill climb. Pitch your tent or hire one of the cosy bell tents and enjoy waking up to sea views and exploring the 400 acres of country park with a quarry and lake for wild swimming! Set in the Tamar Valley AONB, there's a licensed café just up the road and you're ideally placed near the Devon/Cornwall border.

We have a gorgeous few days camping at Summit Camping. Waking up to those views was something else! The campsite was extremely quiet and spacious enough to feel you had plenty of privacy. We took our dog with us and she loved it. We lit the fire pit on a couple of evenings which was fun and super cosy. The shower was great, lovely and hot with good pressure. The toilets were a bit manky when we first got there but were renewed the second day and then were fine after that. Tracy, who runs the site, was really friendly and gave the kids bubbles, which they had lots of fun with. There was a welcome pack for us with info on things to do locally and Tracy gave us info on Callington where there are pubs, take away food and a mini brewery which we didn't have time to try sadly. We climbed Kit Hill which was lovely and a fun, easy walk for the kids and dog. The 360 views from the top were stunning. We also walked to the quarry twice and the kids swam. It was so beautiful with water lilies bursting out under the trees. There is an area of rocks that the kids could climb. They wanted to stay for hours. We drove to Looe and had the best Fish & Chips we've ever had at "Catch"! We visited Tavistock and had lunch at The Cornish Arms which we'd seen on James Martin's Saturday Kitchen. It wasn't quite what we'd expected but the food was excellent, although very expensive. All in all we had a fantastic long weekend and didn't want to leave but all good things must come to an end eventually. Thank you Summit Camping (Tracy) - we will be back!!

Thank you for booking Summit and for your review, Helen. It was lovely to meet you all and I am so glad that you enjoyed it. The views are excellent and so glad the children loved the quarry lake and Kit Hill. Apologies for the loos, (very unfortunate) a lady had decided to put bleach down them all, a nightmare as it counteracted all the chemicals which are used in the portaloos and caused a reaction. We were able to get them all emptied and chemicals replaced the next day and as you know, I am up and down cleaning them twice a day, so we hope no one does that again (very expensive, for us) as well.
Great, great, great!

I really enjoyed my calm and very comfortable night at Summit camping. The owners were lovely, all facilities were very clean, the location is great, it was perfectly calm at night. No negative points to be mentioned, highly recommended!
Smashing views!

Great 4 days of wonderful views, doggy walks and perfect peace. This is the area to get away from it all. Who would have expected to find a shower in the middle of 16 acres. Bliss. Good location for touring and visiting too. All for £15 a night.

Beautiful views with a nice walk nearby. Enjoyed the lovely farm cafe within walking distance, great food! Only knocked the facilities/cleanliness down a bit because of there being only 1 shower and 2 toilets to use (1 toilet was locked?) but on the plus side, there was antibac provided in each and someone on site to clean them in the morning. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would come back again!

Thank you for staying at Summit Camping and for your review Sharon, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. I am up and down twice a day, the site is a pop up wild camping site but we do provide a shower with hot water and 4 portaloos, one of which we keep in reserve in case of emergency (i.e. having to close one or them needing to be emptied), as we are on a rota. We also provide a double wash hand sink. We just opened last year to share our views and give people the chance to have some space in the country as we have 8 acres with amazing views. Kit Hill above has 400 acres of park and even a little lake, and we provide welcome packs by the notice board with a map of Cornwall and loads of information and brochures :) I hope to see you next time.
