Marcus, when I did the UK Campsite search, I narrowed it down to fishing but forgot to further narrow it down to dog friendly. Sorry :oops: sure you can work it out :D

I have camped at the Innis Inn that Simon mentions, nearly three years ago, with another bongo member, Haydn, (bessybongo). Nice site, lovely Sunday lunches at the Inn. And lovely fishing lakes. Near to a lot of attractions.

Hi Sajafi,

Stithians Lake, near Redruth in Cornwall may be another possibility worthy of consideration. My mate has been fly fishing there for years (very successfully).

All the best

Have you been on your fly fishing trip yet? If not get over to exmoor.
You can camp and fly fish here Wimbleball Lake, Dulverton or http://www.yeovalleyholidays.com/ and you can camp here Burrowhayes Farm Riding Stables and your not far from http://www.hartflyfishing.demon.co.uk/f ... links.html.

Carne beach, Perranporth, Gorran Haven

Just got back from Cornwall and my suggestions to add are Carne Beach nr Veryan(national trust but free and plenty of parking), Healeys Cyder Farm nr Perranporth (worth a visit just to see how Cider is made - though the Cornish Rattler is superb), Goran Haven, super little place and £2.50 to park all day, I said to the Car Park attendant I was in the Bongo and the roof was raised for changing before and after the beach, he said no worries and stay overnight if you want... :D :D
Other than the very changeable and very wet weather we enjoyed ourselves and will be back......

The National Trust (click for link) has some stunning properties in this area, just the thing for a wet and windy day, and most have nice cafes. 8)

This links to some of our closest beaches.
And there's a good Dartmoor guide link here.

If you like walking, but don't fancy walking the entire routes, the websites below have split their walks into smaller distances.

DEVON COAST TO COAST WALK

THE SOUTH CORNWALL COAST PATH

THE SOUTH WEST COAST PATH

if you drive out of St Ives along the coast road towards Zennor... just stop outside st Ives at Rosewall Hill.. there is a layby where you can park up.. lovely for a sunset and great easy walks on either side of the road..with spectacular views.. up Rosewall you can see both sides of the coast..with St Michaels mount on one side and st Ives bay the other.. worth it!
