Glamping in Perranporth, Cornwall
A quiet valley, fifteen minutes from the sand
Adults-only shepherd huts and a safari tent in the Bolingey valley, fifteen minutes on foot from three miles of sand.
Perranporth has three miles of beach, a proper Atlantic surf break, and a town you can walk the length of in ten minutes. What it doesn't have much of is somewhere quiet to stay. Most options put you on a main road or in the middle of a holiday park with four hundred neighbours.
Woods 2 Waves sits a mile inland from all that, tucked into the Bolingey valley. Close enough to walk to the beach in about fifteen minutes, far enough that you can't hear the road. Glamping near Perranporth without actually being in Perranporth, which is usually what people are after when they start looking.
There are two shepherd huts and a safari tent here, all adults only, each with its own outdoor space and a fire pit. The pub is two hundred metres from our gate, the fishing lake fifty metres across the road, and the Trans Euro Trail runs straight past the entrance. Most guests park when they arrive and don't touch the car again until they leave.

When To Come Glamping In Perranporth
Woods 2 Waves is a seasonal site, open roughly April through to October. Each end of that has something going for it.
Spring
Quiet, green and good for walking. The coast path is at its best before the crowds arrive.
Summer
Busiest by a distance. Beach weather, the town is lively, and dates go early. Book ahead.
Autumn
The surf is better, there are fewer people about, and it's proper fire pit season.

What Our Guests Say
"Had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic site in their new shepherd hut. A comfortable well set up hut with comfy bed. Shower, toilet and cooking facilities👌"
Kyle Lanfear - May 2026
"It's about a 15 to 20 min walk to Perranporth. It's a lovely stroll down the canal to the river and then into town. Well signposted as well."
