Lavender on her spacious deck, close to the facilities

Eco-conscious rural rental tents a mile from Lower Metherell
In the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Bike hire on site and close to walking trails and canoe trips

To Cornwall, and Callington, and a cracking country break with a conscience. For not only is The Copper Pot Campsite in a most favourable location (bordering the National Trust’s Cotehele estate and in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), it’s also been purposely set up with low-impact, eco-friendly stays in mind. It’s possible to drive, of course, but the folks here are mighty keen to encourage guests to seek alternatives, and they’ve gone all out to ensure that’s as easy as can be. For starters, if you arrive by train (at Gunnislake, 10 minutes away) they’ll happily sort transport to whisk you to the site; from then on you can hit the local walking trails or hire their bikes for two-wheeled touring. Carting heaps of caboodle around isn’t an issue either, as they’ve provided all the bits and bobs you need for a break (well, most of it – you’ll still need to provide your own pants and the like). Rental tents are already set up with beds and bedding, and there’s plenty of cooking kit to help you prep meals in the well-equipped kitchen or out at the two campfire/barbecue areas (if you’ve not toddled off to the pub 10 minutes away, that is). Other facilities are, as you’d imagine, similarly eco-conscious: the off-grid tents have LED lighting and are a short stroll from a bathroom with compost toilets and hot showers.

Wildflower tipi

Liked This was our first off-grid camping adventure, and we loved it. The host, James, was friendly and helpful, and the accommodation was brilliant! My family of four (kids 10 & 8) stayed in the Wildflower Teepee, which was far enough from the communal fire area to give us some privacy, but was close enough to pop back and forth in minutes. It was spacious, had comphy beds, and the log burner inside worked a treat. We needed to warm up the tent as we got caught out by the ever present Cornish rain and were able to try out our clothes without issue.

The communal fire area was warm in terms of the welcoming attitude of other campers and the host and the roaring fire we could cook on in the evening. The covered outdoor kitchen was fully stocked with all the cookware/ utensils we needed and more.

The icing on the cake was the two eight-foot tables of LEGO under the parachute canopy, and seeing both adults and children alike get drawn in and build together. My only heads up is to follow the advice on the website and definitely bring torches—you will need them!

Disliked My only dislike was that only one toilet and shower were available. I understand the site has some big plans tho, so we will keep coming back and enjoy the upgrades as they happen.
