The soft rustle of Cornish hedgerows mingles with birdsong at this peaceful year-round site near Carnon Downs, where morning mist often settles across the fields before revealing the gentle rolling landscape that characterizes this part of mid-Cornwall. The welcoming atmosphere makes this a solid base for families and couples seeking an authentic Cornish camping experience, positioned perfectly between the cathedral city of Truro and the coastal villages of the Roseland Peninsula.
Whether you're pitching a tent, settling in with a caravan, or parking up a campervan, the site offers straightforward camping facilities with clean shower and toilet blocks. This is traditional camping done well, without unnecessary frills but with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The location puts you within easy striking distance of both Cornwall's dramatic coastline and its charming inland attractions. Check about campfire policies when you arrive if an evening around the flames is part of your camping ritual. The year-round opening means you can experience Cornwall in any season, from summer beach days to atmospheric winter walks along windswept shores.
