Rural family-run site on a farm on the edge of Bodmin Moor
Within 15 minutes' drive of Lanhydrock House and Restormel Castle
Playing field, dog field, nature trail and animals to feed on site

Sort yourself a serene stay in Cornwall at Gwel-an-Nans Farm, a site in a secluded spot south west of Bodmin Moor and less than a 15-minute drive from the town of the same name. Pull up and you’ll get a sunny welcome at this two-and-a-half-acre park in the middle of a bigger animal-filled farm. Everyone is spoiled here: for the kids, there's a separate enclosed field for games of football and bike riding, and for the furry companions, there's a dog field where they can run around to their heart's content. This is a spectacular park for thrillseeking as well as lazing about, with the moor right outside the entrance for mountain biking, and off-road paths over in Cardinham Woods less than a 10-minute drive away. Keen freewheelers can take on the famed Bodmin Beast as well as a couple of other tricky red-grade trails. Along with pedalling on the 18-mile Camel Trail, family-friendly touring on two wheels is to be had at the National Trust’s Lanhydrock House estate less than a 10-minute drive. And if you’d rather roam, ask Gerald and Sheila about the two-mile nature trail leading down to a hidden wooded valley back on site or set off on a circular saunter around the round walls of Restormel Castle 15 minutes’ drive... Reckon you’ll be famished on your return? A catering van is open daily on site for hot and cold drinks, pasties, snacks and breakfast croissants. Supermarkets, restaurants and pubs are over in Bodmin – check out local sights like the jail, regimental museum and obelisk while you’re in the area too.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely little campsite with nice clean toilets and showers, also microwave fridge and other facilities we didn't use. Lovely walk down through a wooded valley with a stream. Provision of cooked pasties etc from the host if needed. Altogether a well kept tidy site ideally located to explore Cornwall.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked It's the second time we have camped here, a hidden gem, very peaceful and it's a lovely area for walking from the campsite and all around Bodmin, facilities are few but never had to queue and always very clean, the fresh pasties were a bonus

Disliked Be careful if you are bringing your dog, some of the gates to river walk are a little rough with jagged metal at the bottom

Liked Fantastic views, quiet location, welcoming and helpful host.
Norma works exceptionally hard to provide an inclusive site.
The site is a small, quiet site that can accommodate for individuals, couples and family’s.
The facilities are clean and Norma provides first rate catering services. I cannot not fault the hospitality and attention to ensure guest have a nice stay.
Try a Pasty!

Local attractions

Cornwall’s Eden Project is 25 minutes from the site for perusing plants from different environments and climates under two biomes set in an old china clay pit; if you’re into your landscaping, the pristine nature around Pencarrow House (also 25 minutes away) and the 200 acres of outdoor space at The Lost Gardens of Heligan (45 minutes) are well worth a look too. Seeking surf? The waves of Watergate Bay, Fistral beach and Holywell Bay are all 40 minutes from the site if you’ve a wetsuit and board to hand, while kayak rental can be had at Polkerris beach 35 minutes' drive away. Sort other watersports inland at Siblyback Lake (half an hour), where raft building, paddleboarding and fishing are all available. Golitha Falls (20 minutes from the site) is on the way too.
