Discover the ultimate, wellbeing camping experience with a bell tent camping stay at Higher Pendeen campsite!
We recently had lovely Maisie and company to stay with us to relax and recharge after their busy first year at nearby Plymouth University, and she enjoyed her Bell Tent camping experience so much, she was kind enough to share it with you here! Read on…
“At Higher Pendeen, the sites owners endeavour to help their guests unwind from the stress of the everyday, whilst embracing sustainability and encouraging reduced impacts on the environment. With no tent set up required, our pre-pitched bell-tent was provided complete for arrival, enabling us to immediately settle into our peaceful surroundings.
Each of the bell-tents are simply furnished, providing guests with a spacious living interior to be enjoyed. The campsite provides each bell-tent with double and/or single beds to meet the guests requirement, with the optional extra of freshly laundered bed linens to create the perfect, inviting atmosphere of comfort and relaxation.
Just outside each bell-tent, a Picnic table has been provided, offering ample seating throughout our stay. To the side of this seating area sits a fire pit and grill, providing a purpose made cooking area or even just a relaxing night time ambiance, with the optional extra of purchasing sustainable firewood and a kindling pack on site.
With spectacular panoramic views across the valley, we enjoyed many walks to the coast. Located just a ten minute walk away, this allowed us to take advantage of the conditions with ease and enjoy a surf at the beautiful Mawgan Porth beach.
The bell-tents are surrounded by a tranquil backdrop, with the occasional, welcome distraction from the curious farm animals from the next field over. The bell-tent stay provided us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the best of what nature has to offer, in a beautiful, serene setting, embracing an eco-friendly environment without sacrificing comfort.”
Thank you so much Maisie! If you’d like to come and find out about Bell Tent Camping with us, don’t leave it too late to book this summer, or book ahead for next year!
