Ruby Country Camping

The soft rustle of canvas in a Cornish breeze and the distant call of gulls drifting inland set the scene at this unpretentious rural retreat. Ruby Country Camping offers that increasingly rare commodity: a genuine back-to-basics experience where the focus remains firmly on simply being outdoors, under canvas or awning, without digital distraction.

Tucked into Cornwall's working countryside, this site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its quiet fields. It's ideal for those seeking simplicity over resort-style amenities – families happy with torchlit evenings, couples craving proper disconnection, or solo adventurers using it as a base for exploring Cornwall's dramatic coast and moorland heartland. The absence of prescribed entertainment means children remember how to make their own adventures.

Facilities remain purposefully modest, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and unfussy. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so there may be opportunities for proper flame-cooked suppers depending on conditions and pitch location. The overall vibe is refreshingly low-key – this is camping as it used to be, where the landscape itself provides the entertainment and the night sky isn't bleached by security lighting.
