  • 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 basic, "pop-up" farm campsite with a fantastic location, a short walk from Fowey town and Readymoney Cove. Guests praise the friendly and helpful owner, spacious pitches and peaceful atmosphere. Facilities are generally clean, with improvements noted over time, including a new toilet block in 2025 and a popular outdoor shower. The sloping ground is a recurring theme, with advice to bring levelling ramps. Some visitors mention the lack of bins.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked 12-15 minute walk to Fowey or Readymoney cove. Nice views across corn field and woods. We were only expecting a field, so were surprised to find toilets and makeshift shower and washing up facilities, plus an ELSAN point.

Disliked It’s a field, so it’s steep and uneven in places, as you would expect.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Absolutely loved this little site, great location, walk into Fowey or Readymoney beach quickly and easily, busses and shuttles back (helpful with an old dog!). Everyone friendly, amenities basic but clean, which is what matters.

Disliked Just a shame there was nowhere obvious for rubbish so ended up taking it home with us - not so much of a problem for a couple of nights, but if there for a week it would be.
