  • Well-maintained friendly site on the edge of Bodmin Moor
  • A 25-minute drive to Cornwall's north coast; 35 mins to Eden Project
  • Easy access from the A30; pub 15 minutes' walk away
Leave the noise of modern life behind and replace it with the gentle hum of moorland life… relaxed Cornwall site Traveller’s Rest is just on the edge of Bodmin Moor, in a rural spot where you can really slow the pace of life for a little while. The setup here is one of proper countryside peace, with plenty of space, friendly farm animals in the adjacent fields and lovely views out over your moorland surroundings (and all the way to Dartmoor on a fine day). Settle down at this peaceful site and you’ll most likely get the idea that you’re entirely immersed in rural life – but in fact, this spot is also really rather well located for getting in, getting out and heading all over to see the sights. The A30 is just over a mile away from the site, making it a doddle to get out to the rest of Cornwall – including both the north and south coastlines. Launceston is about 15 minutes’ drive away for shops and other bits and bobs, and you can walk to the local pub in about 15 minutes. Facilities on site here have been well thought out, including toilets, showers, a washing machine and communal areas where you can find the team, use the shared fridge and freezer, or just pop in for a chat and a cuppa. Owner Andy grew up around these parts so is a handy person to natter to for local tips; he and his team are always happy to help if there’s something you need during your stay (well, within reason…)

Liked: Lovely site. Andy very friendly and helpfull Perfect stop over for one night before we started our holiday in Cornwall the next day. Very near to A 30

Disliked: Although it was a lovely site the road in is very narrow so when towing a touring van is awkward. I think it is an ideal site for tents and motorhomes rather than tourer vans

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Wonderful little site that we will definitely revisit. I’ll admit we were dubious when we first arrived as it’s a fairly small site but we actually had plenty of space and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were welcoming, friendly and more than happy to help with everything and anything. It’s a basic site with decent amenities which is all we tend to look for and that’s what it provided. Even got freshly laid eggs off the neighbours one morning! The on-site animals entertained the kids (and the adults!) and everyone camping was respectful and friendly. WiFi signal was good and consistent, not what we go away for but it’s a necessity these days. We’ll definitely be back!

Disliked: Nothing it was perfect for us.
