What customers say
This campsite offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, with friendly and responsive hosts. Bell tents are well-furnished, and facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally reported as clean. Some guests noted the limited number of toilet and shower facilities, particularly when the site is busy. The rough access road is a minor concern for some. The site is considered a good base for exploring Cornwall.

Very pleasant peaceful stay with fantastic view off the beaten path.
Bell tent
Liked Peaceful remoteness amongst grass fields and run down traditional farmyard. Quintessentially rural Cornish
Disliked Tents so close together
No kindling or matches supplied. I would have appreciated this very much as didn’t need a whole bag of wood at £5 so I could have had a hot drink.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A hidden gem! Lovely view and such a calm and relaxing athmosphere, lovely host. Our kid spent his time running around the field and playing with other kids having a great time untill the sun set.
The road leading up to the campsite is an adventure for bigger vans, but absolutely worth the ride

Barrel 1 bedroom camping pod
Liked We spent 3 fantastic days at Boscoppa Farm (one in a luxurious Emperor Tent, and two in a cozy barrel), which acted as a great base to travel around Cornwall. Lovely peaceful site with fantastic views. Instructions and facilities were great, and fantastic friendly hosts who were always at hand to resolve any issues.

Boscoppa farm was a great spot…
Bell tent
Liked Boscoppa farm was a great spot to stay, within minutes from great beaches and places to visit. The tent was very clean and had a welcoming feeling. Inside the tent was a little stove (we haven't used it but comes handy on chillier days). The bed had freshly washed duvet and pillows. The communal areas were kept very clean: howers, toilets were clean, wash up area had washup liquid and sponge provided, toilets had toilet roll provided. Each tent had their own bbq and you could buy logs if you ran out of them. There was no electricity or WiFi but we went there to enjoy nature. The view from our tent was phenomenal.
Wil definitely return.
Thank you
Disliked We stayed only 2 nights. 😉 wish we could have stayed longer.

Great location and views, but the facilities need improving.
Bell tent
Liked The bell tent was better than I expected. It was nicely furnished with a proper bed, bedside tables, a table at the end of the bed, a rug and a log burner (although it was far too warm for us to use it), so it felt much more comfortable than normal camping.
The campsite has lovely views out over St Austell and towards the sea, and it's in a really good location for exploring mid-Cornwall. We found it to be fairly quiet overall, and the lady cleaning the facilities was really friendly.
Disliked The biggest downside was the facilities. There were only two combined shower and toilet rooms serving the bell tents, emperor tents, campervans and camping pitches. Because the showers and toilets are combined, if someone's having a shower and someone else needs the loo, it can create queues. From our bell tent it was quite a walk to the toilets, showers and washing-up area, and some of the accommodation was even further away.
Although the campsite is generally peaceful, it's next to an A-road so you do hear motorbikes at times, particularly in the evenings. You can also hear concerts from the Eden Project quite clearly. We actually thought that was quite fun, but if you're looking for complete peace and quiet it's worth bearing in mind.
The arrival information could also be clearer. The website says to ring when you arrive, so because we thought we might be late I called in advance. I was then told it was self check-in anyway, so we could simply have arrived whenever we wanted. It wasn't a big issue, but the information could be more consistent.
I also phoned beforehand to ask about cooking on the fire pit and was told logs were available, so I bought briquettes on the way. When we arrived, we found the logs were £7.50 a bag. If I'd known that beforehand, I'd have bought logs from the shop as well. The bags also contained some oversized and partly burnt logs, so they didn't feel like great value.
The beds could also be sturdier. They creaked a lot and one corner of the slatted base dropped through when weight was put on the edge. It was easy enough to fix, but they could definitely do with being a bit more solid. Better lighting in the bell tents would also be a nice improvement.

A beautiful view from the top…
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A beautiful view from the top of the hill of the Cornish countryside as well as the sea. We were visiting the Eden Project to watch some live music and Lawrence offered directions, including a massive short cut, meaning it was only a 30 minute walk away. We will definitely will be staying again.
