Campervan hire for Cornwall’s coast, made simple

Start from St Ives and roll out to quiet coves, cliff walks, and small harbours. We keep things straightforward: clear handovers, short kit notes, and route ideas that match daylight and tide checks. Plans can shift with weather and local roadworks, so use this as a guide and adjust on the day.

Vans include the basics for an easy first night—cooking bits, bedding options, and storage tips that keep the cabin tidy. We share where people usually park, how early bays fill, and which lay-bys are calmer after sunset.

FAQ

How do pick-ups and returns work?

We meet in St Ives for a short handover and a quick run-through of controls, safety, and parking notes. Return to the same point unless we agree another nearby spot in advance.

What should I bring?

Layers for wind and rain, sturdy shoes, and a small torch help. We provide a basic kit list before your dates so you can pack light and still stay comfortable.

Are timings exact?

Traffic and weather can nudge plans either way. Treat schedules as guides rather than fixed appointments, and keep a small buffer for fuel stops or roadworks.

Where can I park overnight?

Options vary by season. We share common patterns and signage tips so you can make a considerate choice. Always check local restrictions on the day.

Do you arrange campsite bookings?

No, we don’t handle bookings. We point you to public info and simple steps so you can pick what suits your group and adapt if plans change.
