September Camping Cornwall: A Forager’s Paradise
September camping in Cornwall is a forager’s dream. Our campsite, nestled a ten minute mostly private walk from Mawgan Porth beach and surrounded by beautiful countryside, offers easy access to a variety of wild fruits perfect for campfire cooking. Here are some delicious recipes featuring local autumn fruits you can try during your stay:
- Blackberry and Apple Crumble
Forage for wild blackberries around our campsite and little further on our beautiful local walks. Mix the fruit with sugar and cinnamon, top with a simple oat crumble, and cook in a cast-iron skillet over your campfire. It’s the essence of autumn camping in a dessert!
2. Roasted Sloes with Honey
Collect sloes from the blackthorn bushes lining the paths on our farm. Prick them, roast in a pan over the fire, and drizzle with honey for a sweet-tart treat that embodies the flavours of Cornwall camping.
3. Elderberry Syrup
Gather elderberries during our guided nature walks around the farm. Simmer them with water and sugar over your campfire to create a delicious syrup – perfect for warming drinks on cool autumn evenings.
4. Wild Plum Compote
Our Eco camping site in Cornwall is close to some rare but tasty wild plum trees. Cook these fruits with sugar and serve warm over campfire-toasted bread for a simple yet satisfying breakfast.
5. Rosehip Tea
Boost your vitamin C intake with foraged rosehips. Crush them slightly and steep in boiling water over the fire for a refreshing and healthy tea.
6. Hawthorn Jelly
Collect hawthorn berries around the campsite and simmer them with apples and sugar over your campfire to make a unique and flavourful jelly. It’s great on toast or as a glaze for campfire-roasted meats.
7. Apple and Elderberry Pancakes
Apples and elderberries can be found in the local area. Make a simple pancake batter, add chopped apples and elderberries, then cook over the fire for a luxurious camping breakfast.
