South Penquite Farm

The rhythmic bleating of sheep drifts across ancient hedgerows as you arrive at this working farm on Bodmin Moor, where granite tors rise against wide Cornish skies. Morning light catches the weathered stone of traditional farm buildings, while the air carries that distinctive mix of moorland heather and livestock that defines this rugged corner of Cornwall.

This is a site for those who appreciate the authenticity of farm camping, where the landscape remains gloriously unspoiled and the pace slows to something altogether more natural. Bodmin Moor's dramatic setting offers excellent walking straight from your pitch, with the moor's prehistoric stone circles and mysterious tors waiting to be explored. Tenters, caravanners and campervans are all welcome on these moorland pitches.

Facilities are straightforward with toilets and showers provided for campers. The campfire policy needs confirming on arrival, so ask the farm when you check in. The atmosphere here is refreshingly back-to-basics, appealing to those who value wide open spaces and genuine rural character over polished amenities.
