  • Back-to-basics wild camping in the Tamar Valley
  • On a 200-acre National Trust beef farm
  • Toilets, showers and campfire braziers
Set in the scenic Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bohetherick Farm is a small family-run site with views across an ancient cherry orchard and the Tamar–Tavy Estuary. The valley is a quiet corner of Cornwall, ideal to get away from the tourist crowds. The site is on a 200-acre National Trust beef farm. Dogs are welcome (under close control) and the owners encourage you to experience a true wild camping experience by using the portable campfire braziers. Composting toilets and gas-powered showers are available on site along with washing-up facilities.
