Wild Camping
Featured in the bestselling book, The Salt Path, and less than half a mile from Porthallow beach, our small wild campsite has around ten pitches spread throughout an old Cornish woodland, located just behind the café.
The village of St. Keverne is a five minute drive and has a Spar, baker, butcher and newsagents. The café also has essentials for sale. We are also close to the half way marker of the Southwest Coast Path and the Five Pilchards Inn!
The campsite is open seven days a week from April to the end of October (weather permitting).
“In Porthallow, just up the road from the half way marker for the South West Coast Path, Fat Apples is the perfect stop on your walk – an oasis of gorgeous food, hospitality and wild camping.”
— Raynor Winn, Author of The Salt Path
The camp pitches are wild, and a short distance away we have a coin operated (hot) shower, WC and dishwashing sink.
There is no vehicular access to the site, but we will always try and help shift your gear with our quad bike if we are not too busy in the café, otherwise wheelbarrows are available.
Throughout the year we run a variety of events, such as, music nights, courses, an ongoing bookswap and private parties. Our camp area is becoming well known for outdoor retreats and educational visits.
