We have some great offers and everything you need if your going camping!
Beacon Cottage Farm - St Agnes, Cornwall
Wilder and more windswept than south-coast sites, this offers a choice of pitches. You can opt to brave the wrath of the Atlantic in the Ocean View field or seek shelter among the apple trees behind the farmhouse.
- Open Easter to end Sept; tent plus two adults £16–£22 (01872 552347; www.beaconcottagefarmholidays.co.uk)
Hole Station - Beaworthy, Devon
Return from days out on Dartmoor or the north-coast beaches of Devon and Cornwall to relax by the flames of your campfire and dream of tomorrow's fry-up. Every pitch has its own fire pit, and fire-starting kits can be yours for a fiver.
