Wanting info on good launch/camping locations

The site in Fowey with the slipway is Penmarlam Park (www.penmarlam.co.uk) and it's lovely. Campsite shop has reasonable prices. Slip is very steep though.Watch for the lip at the end at LW springs-it's just submerged enough you can't see it. Good security in the boat park too-Infrared cctv and token operated barriers.

I did Rockley Park on the A350 near Poole on the May bank holiday. It's not too bad but it does have a lot of screaming chav kids there at times. Food is good though and only 10 minutes from Baiter Park or Davis's Boatyard/Cobbs Quay to launch. (Davis's is cheaper and more friendly by far but restricted times-and they only charged for launch/recovery not parking last time I was there).

We launched from Fowey at Penmarlem (Bodinnick side of the river) in the summer and it's very handy and has a pontoon to pick up the crew.

Another excellent place to camp in Cornwall with a very close slip/launch area is Trethem Mill campsite at St. Just on the Roseland Pennisula. While it isn't next to the water, there is a boatyard at St. Just Creek (Pasco's) about 1-2 miles away where you can either launch (at pretty much any state of the tide) or rent a temporary mooring (which is what we did). They also have a tractor for assisted launching. The area is superb with tons of cruising on the Carrick Roads and of course the wonderful Pandora Inn at Restronguet.
