In the early 90's being able to park up my 72 bay on the road into Fistral was amazing, sadly it all changed from being the surf capital to the stag and Hen capital in the 2000's. I feel privileged that i was able to experience that. Its sad to see Newquay now, all but a couple of the surf shops and independent bars have gone and its full of tat shops.

Couple of things that your video has brought up, Wild camping is not legal in England or Wales, it also is specifically with a single tent, no vehicles. So legally you can't "wild camp" anywhere in E & W, whether anyone challenges you is another matter. As always if you do get away with it, leave the site in a better condition than you found it. :-)

As a True Cornishman, it is good to see another Happy Tourist enjoying Cornwall's beauty. Yet my heart breaks, with the mess left behind at many of the places you visited in this video (I've worked for free as part of this clean-up operation for over 40 years and every year it gets worse). It costs 5 million pounds + for Cornwall, per end of each season to clean-up all the tourist areas, especially costal areas and its beaches. As a Cornishman, why should my Council tax pay for this littering cleanup by the masses as well as 90+ hours of my free time each end of season along with many others working for free to clean-up peoples shit. It is why true Cornishmen and Cornishwomen, want a tourist tax and to stop all free park-up types, that is often where the biggest clean-ups have to happen. I've never seen a van life KZread type volunteer their services for the clean-up, Em, I wonder why? If a Cornishman turned-up outside of where you grew-up and live, tipped a load of rubbish on your garden and expect you to pay for the clean-up, I reckon you would you not be happy. Nothing is free in life, as it's unfortunately the rule of life. The most expensive gift we can give someone is 'time'. So, please, please, please, gift the true Cornish people a little of your time and clean-up your mess and even those close to you who may have already left rubbish, when on holiday, as it will save the Cornish peoples a lot of money, time and effort to keep Cornwall beautiful, as it is being ruined by van-life types with this life-style explosion since the Pandemic. It has always been an issue during the tourist season, BUT 2022 IS TAKING THE PISS. Amazing why its not a real issue out of tourist season, when no tourists leave their filth behind anymore and the Cornish small community live in harmony with nature once again.

I hear you my friend, I truly understand your frustrations BUT also, in all honesty, I don’t know of ANY of my community who don’t do their bit in terms of litter picking at all sites frequented. Given that the finger is ALWAYS pointed at vanlifers, the first thing we do is tidy up around us, and the last, is always to leave no trace. The litter is nearly always from car occupants! No doubt still a tourist problem BUT thank goodness for so many of us van dwellers in the area to help tidy up! 🙌 Much love & let’s keep working together 😉

Hi I was born and bred in Porthleven. Unfortunately it's turning into an air b and b village which is sad for young local families who have zero chance of buying a property. Thanks for your efforts keeping our lovely County clean, you shouldn't have to but your efforts are very much appreciated. I think the van life community are conscious of the litter problems and do their best to keep things clean.

Where ever we visit we make an effort to clean up any rubbish even if its not ours, we stayed at Tintagel for a couple of days and did my usual look around and to my amazement there was no rubbish in the field we were staying at. :)

I know, it’s infuriating that the easy finger is pointed at Vanlife for excess litter when in the main, it’s Vanlifers that do the tidying! 😔

Totally agree 👍 newquay headland just 6 weeks ago was full of vans ,they made a real mess of a beautiful place, lightning fires on the cliff tops ,urinating and the rest anywhere they chose ,and had the cheek to complain about the toilets being closed. I take it they've never heard of a portable toilet.

As a resident of Kernow (Cornwall), I have considerable reservations about being free to 'Wild Camp' in a lay-bye near a beach. This is not Wild Camping and is not putting anything back into the local economy. Which is one of the most depressed in Britain. Kernow struggles with lack of industry, infrastructure and good, well paid jobs. Coming to the area, splashing about in the sea for a few days then going home is not going to address that. Ha, what about all the money we put into the local economy I hear you say? Yes, but where does the money go I answer? But before you all get irate, I'd like to point you to a new scheme comparable to a French Aire that is to be started in Falmouth where vans that stay overnight pay for facilities. And if some of the money generated were to go to reducing sewage, or promoting renewable energy would that not be a good thing???

I hear ya mate and agree that Aires are a great idea…The UK is embarrassingly behind the rest of Europe for facilities! I still feel tho that as a morally sound and polite member of society, I should have the right to travel and roam freely 🥰🙌

Wouldn't call that wild camping. Lol

Fair play mate but don’t forget different formats simply share the same terminology 😉🙌

DOGS on a Beach is my Pet HATE… They Piss and SH,1t on the sand , Kids like to play in the sand. Have some consideration, Find a Field to walk them in…

As a resident of Cornwall , it is a nightmare here in the Summer. It needs tourism (people spending money) to survive, but believe me the filth, mess ,congestion each year is awful. We never get to the coast, there's no point trying. For a very small county ,having 2 million people descend here puts a lot of strain on the infrastructure. Anyway moan done , yes Cornwall has to have tourism, but all these videos promoting it just add to he problem and 'wild campers' have sometimes been filthy b******

I hear what you’re saying and I do sympathise BUT I can genuinely say, I only ever see us in the van community picking up after others. I’m sure there are a few culprits but compared to the cars - WOW! Thank goodness for responsible vanlifers looking after your beautiful county 🥰

So you’ve got a surf board and missed all the surf beaches? What a waste of diesel

Yep, if I’m alone with the dog on a trip, he takes priority as he can’t be left alone in a hot van. I get what you’re saying but nah, no road trip is a waste of diesel, surfing is the added bonus if given the chance mate 🙌
