  • Peaceful,off grid, wild camping in Gweek.4 miles from the coast/beach
Escape the crowds and immerse yourself in raw Cornish countrtside. Our small, independent, off-grid campsite at Gweek Wartha Farm is a dedicated haven for local wildlife, offering a peaceful, back-to-nature retreat tucked away in Gweek on the Lizard Peninsula. We keep things wonderfully simple and low-impact. Pitch your tent anywhere in our spacious field, surround yourself with ancient hedges and birdsong, and look forward to dark, unpolluted starry skies at night. We are ideally situated just four miles from the nearest rugged beaches and coastal paths, offering the ultimate balance of countryside peace and maritime adventure. Our facilities are handcrafted and feature compost toilets and a unique naturally venitlated unit with hot, gas-powered mains shower. To protect the wildlife and keep the site peaceful for everyone, we operate completely off-grid. There are no noisy clubhouse attractions or electric hookups here—just fresh Cornish air, local heritage, and space to breathe.

Local attractions

nestled in a tranquil woodland valley yet just a few miles from the rugged Atlantic coast and the sub-tropical Helford River. The Cornish Seal Sanctuary (Gweek – 5 mins away) this famous rescue and rehabilitation centre is a must-visit for wildlife lovers. Set in 40 acres of beautiful woodland overlooking the Helford River, guests can meet rescued grey seal pups, sea lions, otters, and penguins. Porthleven Harbour & Coastal Beaches (15 mins away)Just 4 miles away sits the nearest coastline, opening up to stunning sandy coves and dramatic cliff paths. Head straight to Porthleven, a vibrant, historic fishing port famous for its storm-watching, crashing waves, independent artisan shops, and incredible fresh seafood restaurants right on the harbor front. Trebah & Glendurgan Sub-Tropical Gardens (15 mins away)Because of the area's uniquely mild microclimate, you can visit spectacular, 26-acre sub-tropical ravine gardens that descend all the way down to private, hidden beaches on the Helford River. They are a true wonderland of giant gunnera plants, bamboo tunnels, and vibrant coastal flora. Museum of Cornish Life (Helston – 10 mins away)For a rainy day or a dose of local history, this completely free museum housed in Helston's historic Market House holds one of the largest social history collections in the South West. It details everything from traditional Cornish farming to local mining. Gear Farm Pasty Co. (Mawgan – 8 mins away)No trip to the area is complete without eating a genuine Cornish pasty. Located just a short drive down the lanes, Gear Farm is legendary among locals for producing some of the absolute best, most authentic, organic hand-made pasties in the entire county. It's the ultimate campfire dinner to bring back to the field!
