  • Back-to-basics, off-grid campsite in Bodmin Moor National Landscape
  • Hurlers Stone Circles 10 minutes’ drive; Adrenalin Quarry 25 minutes
  • Two-acre camping field with modern facilities in a converted horse box
What say you to nearly wild camping with spectacular views? Stars and Moor in Bodmin Moor National Landscape certainly has views in spades – right to the distant south coast in fact – and what’s more, there are just a handful of off-grid camping pitches on site, all spread out across two acres of pasture surrounded by Cornish walling. All the pitches are on grass and you can pick your preferred spot on arrival. Vehicles are parked in a designated area, from which your gear is transported to the pitches in a wheelbarrow. Facilities in the converted horse trailer include hot showers and fully plumbed loos, and there’s ample hot water to make your alfresco washing up less of a chore – but please do note there’s no electricity on site. On-site entertainment is all about the views, which you can appreciate while cooking on your firepit – hire one on site, complete with a supply of firewood. The skies on cloudless nights are a glittering marvel that you can share with family and friends while cosying up around the fire. Pack walking boots for yomps on Bodmin Moor footpaths from your tent, and bring bikes for cycling on moorland tracks or canoes for adventures out on Siblyback Lake. Local amenities are a short stroll away in the village of Minions (20 minutes’ walk), where there’s a well-stocked shop and the highest tea room in Cornwall. Heading in the opposite direction are two pubs within 15 minutes’ walk.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Clean, peaceful and open spaces. Amazing site situated high in the moors.
Amazing clear skies, just a few wild pitches so you feel solitude and calm.

Owners are lovely, helpful and work hard to run an excellent site.
Small facilities, a really good shower and loo, always clean.
Good hot water washing up area.
