A penisular on a peninsular, beautiful St Ives is unforgettable and, once you've visited, you'll have to be very strict with yourself not to book a holiday here each year! Why? Well, for one the coastal scenery is stunning, with azure blue sea surrounding the pretty town seemingly on every side. Another reason people return is for the rich artistic heritage of the area; it is said to be the quality of natural light in this area which attracted artists and sculptors from across the country; their works are now celebrated in the Tate St Ives gallery. The inspiration of these nineteenth and early twentieth century giants now seems to pervade the very fabric of the town, with art galleries and art shops a plenty in the narrow, cobbled streets arcing the harbour. Search through these St Ives camping options for a pitch that suits your family's needs and you can while away your time exploring this magical village. Some of these camping sites are located within the town itself: you only need walk a few hundred yards to reach St Ives' reknowned cafe culture! Yes, buckets and spades are very fitting here and rockpooling, sand-castle building, swimming and snorkeling are all well catered for. Looking for noisy attractions and amusement arcades? If so, this is not the beach holiday venue for you. Looking to surrender yourself to long, lazy seaside days amongst fabulous scenery? Then St Ives' world-renowned beaches aren't to be missed and these St Ives campsites place you a pebble-throw from the sand. St Ives campsites These camp sites and holiday parks are ideal for access to the local beaches of St Ives. Porthmeor Beach is popular with surfers and boogie boarders; its Blue Flag status should reassure families who want to let their kids explore the sand and rockpools and paddle in the waves. Porthminster Beach is another great sheltered, family-friendly beach with safe bathing from its crescent sands; this is the best spot for fabulous views across St Ives Bay. Porthgwidden beach, the smallest of the town's beaches is a favoured sun trap, facing east and nestled next to the island. Listed below is the camping St Ives has to offer, whether you are looking for a 'wilder' camping pitch or a base on a St Ives caravan park. Use the 'things to do' tab on each site's individual listing to help you plan your stay: with over a thousand attractions, pubs, shops and restaurants listed, this is an ideal holiday planning tool!
