Anchor Barrow does not have a sea view. Instead it overlooks the stunning Cornish landscape.

All of the pitches at Anchor Barrow are grass. However, due to our location the ground dries very quickly.

As Anchor Barrow is set on a hill (perfect for maximising your view) this does however reflect how level our pitches are. Some areas of the field are flatter than others.

As Anchor Barrow is set up on a hill it is exposed to the elements. As the non-electric pitches are free-camping you can of course choose to pitch up in area you consider to be sheltered.

We want everyone to enjoy their stay at Anchor Barrow! We ourselves love nothing more than sitting round a campfire in the evenings when camping. The space that Anchor Barrow has to offer allows our campers to appropriately enjoy themselves but not at the expense of others. We have a low tolerance of any campers who are not respectful of their camping neighbours. This behaviour may result in campers being asked to leave. It is for this reason we ask for group bookings to be authorised to ensure we are the right campsite for your holiday.

Anchor Barrow welcomes groups. The telephone authorisation just ensures we are the right campsite for you and you are the right campers for us.

We politely ask you to take the time to ensure you book adequate pitches for the number of persons and/or units that you require. If insufficient pitches have been booked and the campsite is full, we may be unable to accommodate the additional units.

All group bookings must be authorised by telephone prior to making your booking. Only authorised group bookings will be permitted.

The individual making the booking must be over 18. They must also be attending the Campsite.
