  • Wild camping on the edge of Fowey, 15 minutes' walk from the centre
  • Eden Project and St Austell within 20 minutes' drive
  • Woodland walk down to Readymoney beach; bus stop outside the site
Got your heart set on Fowey as a place to stay? It’s an excellent choice – this cute little town is a real highlight of Cornwall, with a real sense of heritage as well as some gorgeous sea views. Keeping things very simple for a stay here is Lambs Barn Camping Ground, a wild camping site in a wooded valley on the edge of town, about a kilometre from the village centre. From here you'll also be able to walk along a footpath through the woods down to Readymoney beach, a sheltered sandy cove that’s fabulous for a dip in the sea. Longer walks might take you out onto the South West Coast Path, which runs along the entirety of Cornwall’s coastline, and there’s a bus stop just outside the site for longer jaunts around the county. This site is billed as having wild camping – and that’s almost true, as you’ll be settling down in nature-filled grass meadows for a real sense of countryside calm. There are, however, a few conveniences to make your stay a little more comfortable, including a water supply, gas-powered showers and portable toilets. Laundry facilities are close by if you need them. Down in Fowey you should find plenty to entertain yourselves, including watersports centres (with kayak and paddleboard hire) and riverside walks, plus shops, pubs and places to eat. There’s also a ferry service across the bay to Mevagissey (a route that’s well known for dolphin-spotting opportunities).

What customers say

This is a "back to basics" pop-up campsite praised for its excellent location within walking distance of Fowey town and Readymoney beach. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful owners, peaceful atmosphere, and the novel outdoor hot shower. While some found the facilities basic and the sloping field challenging, others appreciated the value for money and proximity to amenities like a new Co-op. Manager replies indicate ongoing improvements, particularly to toilet facilities.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Simplicity

Disliked Grass was so spiky my roll matt was pierced. Whole field sloped so nowhere ideal to pitch tent. Facilities were basic and had low capacity (1 shower, 2 loos). Waste disposal either not there or not visible.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Guys
We are sad to hear that your 1 night camping with us was spiky, we also try to be realistic on price and are not here to make a fast buck, we do it more for sharing a beautiful farm and position with like minded people. Here at Lambs Barn we state it as it is, its a grazed farm field with farm grass, in an almost perfect position overlooking the port of Fowey and the beach at Readymoney cove all within a short woodland walk. We have 5 fully working toilets, one great hot outdoor shower and also a cassette vindage. My advise to you young lads would be to invest in some good camping equipment and then get a good nights sleep.
Best wishes
