  • Peaceful off-grid campsite at a permaculture farm near Camborne
  • A 10-minute drive to Gwithian beach; 20 minutes to St Ives
  • Ethical site with wellbeing activities, open mic nights and firepit
Ro Dama Farm is an off-grid site at a permaculture farm in the west Cornwall countryside, about 10 minutes’ drive from Camborne and two miles from the coast at Godrevy. Everything has been set up here to maximise the connection with nature – you’ll be able to have a real ‘digital detox’ here among the brambles and bird song. Compost toilets and a shower are provided for guests, and the whole site aims to be carbon neutral. In keeping with that ethos, locally sourced materials are upcycled to create infrastructure and profits will be fed back into the organic vegetable garden, which produces supplies given away locally. And while the ethical credentials may be top-notch, so too is the location: it’s only a short journey to the coast path or Gwithian beach, and there are train and bus services running from Camborne. The speedy A30 runs close by too for outings to more distant parts of Cornwall. When you’re not out exploring, time on site can be spent joining in with gardening activities or heading down to the amphitheatre area, which hosts performances and open mic nights as well as housing the communal cooking space and firepit. The farm also offers bookable health and wellbeing services to further than connection with nature.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Good tent pitches to choose from spaced out from one another, peaceful environment, night sky full of stars on clear night, basic but clean facilities, friendly owner/workers, good views and can walk to beach about 2 miles away

Disliked: Can hear traffic noise from road if not windy which somewhat spoils the wild peacefulness and not loads of space fro car parking but these are minor things and overall very good

Unpowered grass and gravel campervan site

Liked: Super friendly owner. Absolutely wild nature and wonderful views. True feeling of freedom. Self sufficient place - for those who like green energy. If someone was growing on a farm or doesn't really care about luxury, this place is for you.

Disliked: None.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: A lovely, quiet spot. Perfect for getting away from things. Clean basic facilities that did the job. The amphitheatre has a fire pit in the centre which is great for a bit of social. You can also chill by your tent and feel like you are all alone as each pitch has it's own secluded location. You can hear the sea, see the wildlife and relax. Friendly owners and a couple of well behaved, friendly dogs. You need to walk down a slope to access the pitches. Take a torch and wear sensible shoes.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Everything. Campsite is set in a beautiful rural valley location. The pitches are individual patches going down the hillside, so from my pitch I mostly couldn't see other tents and it felt very private. The atmosphere at the campsite was super relaxed and I really appreciated the time and space to myself. The people running the campsite are contributing to the local community both with workshops and foodbank donations, and I thought their ethos was great. Couple of friendly dogs on site who it was nice to say "hello" to. The whole place had a vibe of something that was being created and that's coming together. It's a bit ramshackle and I really appreciated that and the work that is going into making this place. I enjoyed the fact it was so small as this meant it was genuinely peaceful. Facilities were always available when i wanted them. Town of Camborne was a pleasant short cycle away. I thought this place was excellent value for money. I left feeling really grounded and would definitely plan to return, curious to know how much it may change in that time.

Disliked: Nothing. This place was perfect for me and I'd have happily stayed there for much longer than the 3 nights I had booked. I have mentioned above that this place is being built, so if you are expecting a shower block or facilities then this may not be for you. Very big family tents may struggle to pitch here.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Excellent location. We tried out a local camping venue for my 5 year old in case she didn't like camping. We explored the nearby rivers, a small pontoon is tucked away where we dipped our feet. We explored little allotments and seen what the owners were growing, met the chickens and generally had a warm welcome. We made a fire and roasted marshmallows, we stargazed in the evening. The location is so quiet. The site is classic Cornwall scenery and the team live off grid her. The owners/organisers were very welcoming and helpful. We will be back before school starts. Thank you.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff. The place was amazing with great views. Sunset and sunrises are spectacular. Only a short drive to the shops, petrol station and the beach but far away enough to feel at one with nature. A great getaway from our busy city lives. We have told our friends and family about our stay and will be returning very soon! Thank you to everyone at Ro Dama Farm 😊

Disliked: The fact we didn’t book to stay longer!!
