  • Small, quiet off-grid glamping site six miles from the coast
  • A 10-minute drive from Camborne; suitable for couples and families
  • Fully equipped six-metre bell tents with a firepit and compost toilet
If you’re planning a Cornwall break, it’s tempting to be drawn to the coast, but it’s worth remembering that the county’s interior is just as fabulous – or perhaps even better, given that settling somewhere in the middle means equal access to both coastlines. One such splendid spot is Cornish Skies, a small glamping site on a family-run smallholding just outside the tiny village of Troon and 10 minutes’ drive from Camborne. This is a peaceful part of the world, away from the crowds and with plenty of space to take in the rural views. Stay here and you’ll have easy access to historic mining trails and quiet cycle routes, with handy amenities close by too, including the village shop five minutes’ walk away, a pub in the next village and a couple of fish and chip shops within a mile. Camborne’s also got plenty of restaurants, takeaways and shops for keeping everyone fed. Days out are easily achieved here too, as the A30 is close by and both coastlines are within a 20-minute drive. Accommodation on site is in spacious, fully equipped six-metre bell tents sleeping up to five people, furnished with a double bed and two singles (plus extra airbeds if needed). This is an eco-friendly and off-grid site, but each tent has access to its own firepit, compost toilet (with hot showers on site too), solar lighting and a single outdoor gas stove. A picnic table and cool box are provided too, along with a communal area with a camping stove, barbecue, utensils and various pots and pans. There's also another undercover canopy with gas barbecues and seating.

Local attractions

Staying with your inland setting, you might like to spend the day trying out all the watersports at Stithians Lake (10 minutes’ drive), take a heritage ride on Helston Railway (15 minutes) or seek out more of the past at places like Cornwall Gold and Tolgus Mill (15 minutes). The National Trust gardens at Godolphin House (20 minutes) are lovely to wander around too, and it’s not far to places like the Eden Project and Lost Gardens Heligan (both an hour). To the coast next? Head north to Portreath beach (15 minutes) or St Ives and Carbis Bay (half an hour), or aim south to get to Porthleven and Praa Sands (25 minutes). Going all the way west to Land’s End (45 minutes) is also a popular option of course. Getting out to wherever you choose should be pretty straightforward, whether you choose to drive the nearby A30, use the bus stop five minutes’ walk away or travel via train from Camborne.
