Camping at
Maker Heights

Whether you’re camping in a tent, caravan, or motorhome, our unspoiled site offers a truly wild experience.

Nestled under expansive skies with sea views and surrounded by birdsong, Maker Camp is located on the breathtaking South East Cornish coast. From here, your views stretch from the glimmers of light playing off Whitsand Bay on a summer’s eve, past Cawsand Bay, and across the South Devon Coast before turning back inland towards Dartmoor and Bodmin.

Our campsite is thoughtfully designed with great respect for nature, providing an authentic camping experience. Pitches are interspersed with habitat zones of long grass, providing a home for ground-nesting Skylarks and beautiful butterflies.

Campsite profits all go toward looking after not only the heritage assets of Maker, but the natural landscape as well.  Our ‘crop circle’ pitches weave together long and short grasses on this unspoiled grassland, creating a mosaic habitat that cradles campers in their own slice of nature, protection from the wind and an accompaniment of birdsong and butterflies.

Sign in grass reads 'Wildlife area - No camping. Keep dogs on leads.'

As the highest point on the Rame Peninsula, Maker Camp offers uninterrupted stargazing opportunities, and on clear days, it becomes an eternal suntrap.

With the Southwest Coast Path just half a mile away, dog walks and day-long hikes are right at our doorstep. A 15-minute walk south leads you to the twin fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, where shops, pubs, and restaurants dot the various beaches and quaint alleyways.

If you choose to journey on foot, whether you're traversing the coastal path or hopping on the bus up the hill from the ferry, we've earmarked a limited number of discounted pitches just for you. These special spots are nestled among WWII anti-aircraft emplacements, ensuring unparalleled views for your stay.

At Maker Camping, all profits are reinvested by the RCT into preserving the site’s heritage and natural beauty for future generations.
