Vanlife Cornwall - Is it worth trying to wild camp anymore? 

Nice video mate. We live in Cornwall and van it all over. We love people who are respectful and leave no trace. Whoever’s going to run to the sun - seeya there!!!

"I'm not saying you can, I'm just saying I did" hahaha

Mate bloody awesome videos and your van is seriously on another level.newquay being my fav place.keep em coming

Like little meerkats 😂😂😂 subscribing purely for that comment 😂😂 lol 😂 🤣 we moved to Cornwall from Bristol 7 months ago board of the city as we'd lived there all our life and wanted a nicer place to raise our kids it's such a beautiful place 😊 my bloke sold his van just after we moved but we should be getting another one in the next year so looking forward to some travelling next year 😊 we're planning to do a two week trip in the school holidays from where we are (Redruth) up to john o'groats and back 😊

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.

young lad running that veedub , good for him man, that's amazing, good for him.

Good video again Hayle is just down the road from our home so the pasty shop is our normal Sunday go to place and always busy that's how good they are!!

Just come across your channel I'm from Cornwall there is loads of places hidden away to park up down here away from the tourist locations. Looking forward to seen more of your blogs. 👍👌

what great videos, wish i could do this all the time in my VW!! maybe one day. hope to see you around cornwall sometime.

You guys are my best van Chanel by a longshot. The vibe is just right, and trust me I watch ALOT of van channels 😀

Cornwall is our favorite place to go, so chilled, great vibe and beaches to die for...and pasties lol lol, that rat van was simply stunning, what a first car, we have all the mod cons in our vans and great looks and kit but secretly we just want that van.....

We can’t go past a Lidl without going in and getting a brownie now. All down to your channel! Another cool video.

Love the van. Class 😊

Very inspirational to watch as it's just me and my doggo, and sometimes need a kick up the jacksie to get out there in my little camper! 👍

Good to see Cornwall for the first time in three years Andy......and your vid was good to chill snd relax my brain whilst sitting on my Condo balcony in Koh Samui. Rainy season here but still paradise. Keep up the interesting content.....new subscriber x

Me and my wife were down there the same time as you. The weather was beautiful…no place better than Cornwall when the sun is out…great video by the way 👍😎

What a gret bloke you are, and loved the shots of Cornwall - been a while since I've been there. Thanks.

You have very inventive shots and slick editing man. Lovely story telling. You have good energy too, fair play to ya 🤙

Great video thanks UK Has gone expensive ..and ridiculous ..20 pence for a paper bag an absolute joke

Great stuff really enjoyed to watch natural on video, the pair of you in fact, made Cornwall well worth a visit, I like the cold season more,.

Just came across your channel today and already hooked. Your van is simply stunning and I really enjoyed the footage and soundtrack💚👏💥

Another great video you obviously visit cornwall regularly we visit Derbyshire its only one hour from us. Cornwall is about 5 hours lol. You really do put in the effort to get the shots i know what it takes, stay safe see you on the next one 🫶 michael & Kim

my wife and I did that when we got married back in 66 in an old Austin J2 van we just took our mattress off our bed great fun.

thanks to your channel me and the wife are going away to devon today,we don’t own a camper van yet but hired one for her to see if she likes it 🤞

Brilliant one Andy. Wonderful to see we still have places to parkup in and around Cornwall. Awesome drone footage 👌 Maybe some have released they need the vanlife culture cuz they need us. Wonderful to follow as always, Safe Travels Both ❤

Another belter Andy! Beautiful drone work too! So lovely to see you, looking forward to our next catch up😁🚐❤️🙌

Great video, I love the banter you have and the hugs you give out. The pasty shop brings back nice memories of hayle.

Nice one Andy, what a beautiful county , absolutely stunning 👍

Sat in my van in rainy Newquay wishing the sun would come out, lovely video mate x

Another fantastic video 👍👏 will definitely do a Cornwall trip. Safe travels 😎😊

Love, love, love Cornwall, is definitely my happy place! Just discovered your channel and hit subscribe straight away. Looks like you are having a blast, am trying to convince my hubby that we need to buy a van, totally sending this over to him!

Awsome friendly bloke. Awsome van. Awsome dog. Awsome video 👊🏼

Just came back on Tuesday from a 3 week adventure in Newquay, my first time in Cornwall, visited some amazing places, stunning, brought it back watching the video mate, safe travels, ATB Dave

Just found your channel. Great content and really professional camera work, editing etc. Thanks.

Currently in Padstow, as I watch this. Love van life videos.

Used to live about a mile from Fistral Beach. The winters down there were seriously good fun!

I live in Cornwall and we get people wild camping locally. Sadly most of them leave a mess behind them when they go. We don't mind the tidy campers at all but it's horrible to walk your dog in the morning and find rubbish everywhere when a van has been parked up. Please people, if you wild camp then leave no trace.

Yes fella living the life 👊🏼 love that.

We was down on that beach in March stunning beach in Hayle sunny like you had

Being a long term surfer Fistral (and Watergate) was a local break for me throughout the 90s. I've seen some changes there in regards to Vans parking up that's for sure. No where near as free as things were for Van and surfers were back then to say the least. Still, love the place regardless and solid waves. Thanks for sharing buddy.

In Cornwall this week and just seen Toby’s rat vw, I thought I’ve seen that somewhere before 😂😂 so just rewatching the video again 👍🏻

Philps are the best pasties in Cornwall 😊

Nice one Andy, Looked lovely down there, I used to visit Bude a lot back in the day, Loved it. We have very similar tastes in food, love a pot noodle, Irish stew, sweet n sour etc...lol. The guy with VW rat, wow, awesome eh? Safe Travels ✌🏻

Some serious culinary skills you have there 😂 Hopefully we can learn from such a skilled chef this weekend 🤩

Another great video mate. Your living the dream down there. Looking forward to heading down that way. Love that super minimal dub, bet he be a bit chilly in the winter haha

Hi new sub here from Wigan, came over from Northerners on tour after seeing your van and beautiful dog on their vanlife eats vlog 😊.

Awesome video, so glad I came across it. Just sat here imagining driving about the country in that sick van of yours! I've lived in Cornwall my whole life but you've just made me wanna go & explore again. You've got a new subscriber here! P.S I want that van, & Philps pasty shop is the best, mine's a steak & stilton lol.

Good times. Nice video! New sub signed up yeheww

Along for the ride....👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I've recently moved away from Cornwall. On my visits back to see friends and family I'm only now discovering Park ups in the county that I didn't know about.

Just stumbled on your channel, great video really enjoyed, wicked van dude👍

New to this channel, nice van ,nice guy, good vlog. Happy travels mate. Thx

Cracking stuff, you have another Sub, Cheers, David 👍🍺

I know exactly where that is. Definitely off the beaten track!

Just stumbled across your channel, love it. Subbed 🤙

I was at Fistrel three days ago! But I'd parked in a great spot above Newquay for a few days with no bother at all.

Love cornwall,when i was down there in my van there were lots of car parks that said no campervans or overnight parking so i reckon its getting increasingly difficult to park up.

Hope all’s well Andy👌The Bongo’s in for welding next week🚐😱

Great vid, just stumbled across it and am now a subscriber 🤘🏻we were there same time at crantock 👍🏻

I'm new here, lovely vid! I also love Cornwall and I've put it second on my list of places to explore when I get my campervan next year, the first place being Scotland. I've been to Cornwall on holiday and housesat in St Agnes, its a fabby place :D I've subscribed and will carry on following your travels. PS. Who's your dentist? You're teeth are perfect! 😁

We was down Hayle this week end was Gutted that we missed u

Great video, and what a stunning van...

Living the dream 😍😍🤙

Lovely vid! The bit where your dog sneezes on you 😅

If you go to hayle, you must go to downtheline surf shop, best in cornwall!

Philps pasty’s are the best,was there last month wild camping near by and went 🤙🏻😎

How on earth did you bump in to Toby guitar. That kid is an absolute guitar legend.

I stayed on that car park at hayle 12 months ago it was £5.00 for the night but no one came to collect and all the ticket machines were covered up ,so we had free parking

Nice van Andy!

Loved it

Love you so much beautiful 🥰 could’ve washed the birds shit off the window 🤣🤣🤣

The problem is people seem to have taken the wild out of wild camping. No one is there to move you if your wild camping.

Next time your down Hayle try the Philps further down the road and grab a flakey steak 😋

Wow Cornwell Beautiful🇦🇺👍

Loads off places to wild camp in kernow like anything else you just gotta no where!🏴‍☠️👍

Love blue love your van and love your vids!! Sth London lad??👌👍

I’m not saying you can, but I did 😂Another awesome vid 😎

Great channel by the way

Good one again, shame about no dog beaches but the irresponsible owners ruin it for the masses.😡

Great vid mate, Without giving your address away where in Essex are you from, Im sure I’ve met you before. Also you should do a tour of your van video, it looks so nice.👍

Hi are you a Cornwall person. I moved in Newquay when Boardmasters started. The thing on the stars sometimes it's the spacestation putting there waste into space

Good Gnashers

Hi Andy, I drive the same sprinter as you, wondering if I could get a bit of info, how is your spare wheel attached and info on spot lights would be amazing? Richard

Just come across your channel. love it. Sorry to ask, but where's your van from ? Done yourself ?

Andy, I hope you don't mind me asking but do you have a full time job or have you sold a business that allows you to do these travels?

Hi I havent watched you before but live just a few miles out of Newquay. There has been a lot of trouble about wild campers because of the mess that’s left behind by some, certainly not all but you only need one bad apple…!

Hey mate. Your right by mine there at that Fistral spot. What do you do about keeping it cool enough for the dog when it’s left in the van on it’s lonesome? My pup is just about approaching 6 months, & I haven’t left him in the van yet. I’m always sketching out about it getting too hot in the van. Summers over now so it’s not guna be as bad, but what are some solutions yourself or anyone in the comments recommends for keeping it cooler? Cheers

Hi guys do you happen to know where I could purchase some of them cool camplife lights? Cheers 😎

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???

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 RU-vid 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.

Do u often put a corset on the pets lol

Stumbled across this, nice one! What do you do to make money to do this life? (Come on, what’s the secret to your pearly white teeth?😄)

Lol @corset, I call Louis his Bra. 🤣

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. :-)

Don’t they just love to ruin you holiday. 26:13

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******

Wouldn't call that wild camping. Lol

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