Located near one of the best surfing beaches in the world, this UK campsite attracts a number of swimmers and surfers.
Ocean Pitch Campsite, which is a mere two minutes from Cornwall’s Croyde Beach, has six-person tent pitches that cost as little as £15 each per night.
Vans less than 6.5m are also allowed, as are roof tents which have the “best views”, however, this is a coveted spot that sells out quickly.
