As the school holidays begin and the summer finally appears to have arrived, many families are looking at camping for a cost-effective way to holiday.

Now a leading camping website, Campsites.co.uk, has named some of the best campsites in the country in its '150 Outstanding Sites in the UK' list for 2024 – with nine in Cornwall featured.

One of them making the list is East Crinnis Holiday Park, an award-winning park located near St Austell Bay. 

The website said that in the holidays guests can enjoy a range of activities for little ones, plus a takeaway, live music and quizzes.
