About Droskyn Point
Historical/community camping report; current permission is unconfirmed. High ground above Perranporth beach, where mining remains and open cliff-top grass look north across the long bay. The old long-distance directory lists the old mine area at Droskyn Point as a wild-pitch anchor. The ground is best thought of as cliff-top grass and mining ground. Perranporth has full town facilities; nothing should be assumed at the informal anchor itself.
