  • Relaxed site on a small farm 10 minutes' drive from St Austell
  • Mevagissey and Lost Gardens of Heligan within 15 minutes' drive
  • Stream, lake and farm animals on site; campfire logs and eggs to buy
Pleasant indeed is life on site at Pleasant Streams Farm Camping, a relaxed rural Cornwall site a mile outside of the village of Sticker and 10 minutes’ drive from St Austell. If the name conjures up images of classic English countryside, then you’ve got it just about spot on: this is a place of pretty fields with a stream running through the site and a little lake where you can potter about in the rowing boat. The site’s ethos is on keeping things simple and natural: kids are encouraged to play on rope swings in the trees and you can all look out for wildlife including rabbits, badgers, hawks and owls. Embracing outdoor life here also means meeting the site’s resident miniature goats, Bluebell and Rosie, and the pair of pigs called Del Boy and Rodney. There are chickens and ducks on site too, and you can buy their eggs for a tasty breakfast. And what about an evening meal? Well, those can be cooked over a campfire (as long as you use one of the designated fire rings) and there are sacks of logs available to buy on site to help you along. Pick up supplies at the farm shop 10 minutes’ walk away or pop into St Austell for more shopping options. Filling your days around here should be easy – the stunning Roseland Heritage Coast is only about 15 minutes’ drive away for days out in the likes of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey and Charlestown, or you can get to the north coast in about half an hour. In keeping with the natural ethos, facilities here are simple but guests will have access to showers and toilets (both compost loos and flushing toilets).

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Very peaceful setting. Easy to get to and central for days out in Cornwall. Lots of space to pitch and a bonus that you can choose where to go. It is a basic site with no hot water for washing up or washing dishes facilities but this is made clear on the information page, and certainly wasn’t a problem for us, just go prepared. The showers and toilets were adequate. The owner was pleasant and you could purchase fire wood off of him which was helpful if you wanted a fire. We’ll definitely be going back. Wifi /phone signal is patchy.

Disliked Not the owners fault…..but we came back from a day out to find a family had pitched their tent very close to us which having a 2 year old with us meant we definitely could hear them until they went into the tent and settled down for the night. Shame as there was plenty of room for them to pitch elsewhere.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Everything! This camp site is perfect. If you want a break away from it all this is the place to go to. Tony gave us a warm welcome upon arrival and looked after us all week. The ducks on site are very cute, you can hear owls at night and see swifts dart across the lake. Clean facilities, hot showers, friendly fellow campers. This was our third stay here and we will definitely come back again. Perfect spot for exploring Cornwall.

Toni S.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)

Liked We liked the natural surroundings and the lake was a nice addition, it was nice to see the ducks and birds around the lake and they came over to say hello (or look for food). It was in a good area with some things to do near by. We liked that you could pick your own pitch.

Disliked The toilets were very basic and small. The showers were also quite cramped. There was no signal but that is ok for some people.

Mark S.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Nicely maintained and pleasing surroundings. Ducks roam around. Clean facilities. Easy to find. Friendly and accommodating owner. Good price. Level pitches on short grass. No set pitches so go where you want.

Disliked The access track to the camping field has a 90 degree corner to get around with a 4ft drop to a stream opposite. No problem for most vehicles but I was quite concerned edging my 5.5m camper van around it. Once on the site the owner said i could leave by a different route, which was fine but it would have been nice to know about it on the way in. Sign says reception open 2 hrs. per day, but could not find it. No washing up facilities. Toilet cubicles very small. Quite noisy after dark but that may have been just that night.
