About Hole Beach / Tintagel Coast
Historical/community camping report; current permission is unconfirmed. A steep, dramatic section of the Tintagel coastline where small coves and rough cliff-top ground create a genuinely wild atmosphere. The historic backpacker directory marks a wild-pitch opportunity at SX054871 on the Tintagel coast. The ground is best thought of as rough coastal ground. No reliable facilities at the anchor; Tintagel services are farther along the route.
