About this Event

IMPORTANT: Please click the below link and read the detailed 'Bell Tent information' section prior to booking your stay on Looe Island: .

A holiday on Looe Island Nature Reserve is a much coveted experience. From sunrise over the Ranneys through to sunset over Gribbin Head, your stay on Looe Island will be one filled with peace and tranquillity.

Camping on the nature reserve is simple and is designed to minimise impacts on wildlife and the environment while allowing you to relax in this unique, peaceful location.

Your boat pick up will typically be around 10:30am on your day of arrival and departure but this will be confirmed nearer the time. Cancellation or changes due to weather/sea conditions are a real possibility. We advise keeping your plans flexible by a couple of days either side of your booked dates.

All holidays are for three nights. The Bell Tent can sleep two adults on a double mattress but there are also two single mattresses that can be laid out overnight.

There is no direct water supply at the tent so we provide water for drinking and cooking in 5 litre containers. As both water and electricity supply are limited, conservation of these resources are important on the Island. This means that bell tent guests do not have access to a shower or running hot water nor is there electric supply to the tent or the simple compost toilet.

Once on Looe Island expect not to return to the mainland until your departure date. This means that we ask you to bring everything you need for the entire stay. As well as food and drinks and personal welfare items you will need to bring linen for a double duvet or sleeping bags as well as an undersheet and pillowcase covers. A full list of what is provided and what you should bring is available within the important information pages of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust website. Here you will also find guidelines regarding access/activities suitable for staying on the nature reserve. Such guidelines state that access to the sea is via the main beach only. This is to minimise disturbance to wildlife. Following the guidelines helps us to protect the Island’s wildlife.

As you'd expect, we ask the Island's guests to respect wildlife and enjoy the peace and quiet away from it all!

We look forward to welcoming you to Looe Island and wish you a pleasant stay.

See you soon!
