The clatter of the old waterwheel and the splash of the stream running through this working farm set the rhythm here before you've even pitched your tent.
Coombe Mill suits families brilliantly — there's a proper farmyard feel with animals to meet and space for kids to roam safely — but couples and anyone with a campervan or caravan looking for a quieter corner of Cornwall will find their feet here too. You're in the rolling countryside between Bodmin Moor and the north coast, proper rural Cornwall where hedge-lined lanes still outnumber dual carriageways and you feel pleasantly tucked away from the seasonal crowds.
The facilities cover the basics with toilets and showers onsite, and campfires are worth asking about when you arrive as policies can vary by pitch or season. The vibe leans gentle and green — this is a working farm with character, not a manicured park, so expect a bit of mud on your boots and the kind of peaceful evenings where the loudest thing you'll hear is the stream.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
