Finally, a topic I can help with!

Having spent alot of my childhood in Talland Bay (that's the beach area down from Tencreek)

It's my favorite place in the UK to visit.

Tendered has grown alot since I first stayed there 20+ years ago so can't comment on that too much other than its a 15min walk to the beach/rocks and a 45min walk back to the site as its extremely steep fields to walk back up.

As for things to do, Looe is really nice for a walk around and sandy beach, Polperro is a great old village and good fun in the evening with nice restaurants and pubs

Talland Bay itself is split into 2 parts, you have the 'beach' side wich is mainly shingle and the other side is very rocky with huge rock pools.

Great fishing from the rocks for mackerel and pollock.

Great crab fishing for kids on the river at Looe too.

There's lots to do but it depends what you like, we're all different!

So great memories of being down there,i must go back again soon!

Regards
Matt

What a great and insightful reply from Theteaboy – bringing much more than just tea to this chat!

Craig, you might also like to read the listing for this campsite on our sister website Caravan Sitefinder – click here. We've also got our own Practical Caravan travel guides, including one about Cornwall as a whole, but also others on Bude, St Ives, Newquay and other places in the county.

I hope that helps and you have a super holiday.

Hi Craig, stayed there about 4 years ago nice enough site with entertainment and pool, didnt use the pool and the entertainment is standard, starts with the kids and adults later, had a meal one night and again the usual camp site chips with everything meals. But it was pleasent enough. Think most of the tourers are at the top end as lower down you have[strike] shanty town[/strike] the seasonals, and some of them leave alot to be desired.
Facilities were kept clean and tidy.

things to do...Craig just google things to do in Cornwall there is so much that it is difficult to know your personal preferances. If you have kids google thingsto do in Cornwall for children. Beleive me there is so much to do.
Have a good one.
