General
- Peaceful family pop-up campsite with spectacular Bodmin Moor views
- A 10-minute drive to Liskeard; 35 to the Eden Project
- Showers and washing-up sinks on site; pub and shop five minutes’ drive
Edging Bodmin Moor in a peaceful, scenic corner of Cornwall near Liskeard, Pipers is all about a back-to-basics camping experience in a 3.5 acre field with cracking views over neighbouring farm fields to Dartmoor. The entrance to the site is on an unadopted country lane, so there’s no traffic noise and no street lights, just honest-to-goodness fresh air – and when the night sky is clear, the chance to do some serious stargazing.
With no formal pitches, you can pitch up anywhere in the field to suit your camping requirements – please note some pitches are on a slight slope. Being a no-frills sort of place, there is no electricity but you can relax in the warmth of a firepit and enjoy a barbecue on site, and you do have access to a toilet and shower block as well as cold-water sinks for washing up.
Pensilva village (five minutes’ drive) offers a basics shop, pub and a takeaway fish and chip van (Thursday night only). For major supermarket restocks, head for Liskeard (10 minutes’ drive), where you can pick up takeaways for all tastes, from kebabs to Indian, Chinese and pizza, and there are a few pubs for enjoying a crafty pint.
A couple of site rules: dogs must be kept on leads, and please keep noise to a minimum between 11pm and 8am.
Open from 21/07/2023 to 17/08/2023
