Small dog-friendly site surrounded by the Cornwall countryside
A 15-minute drive from the beach; 10 minutes from Tahidy Woods
Free-range eggs available; pub nearby; small kitchen area on site

Raise a toast to the Cornwall countryside at Bowling Green Farm Campsite… whether it’s beer and sausages over sunset, a feelgood firepit evening or frying up some free-range eggs for breakfast, this small, family-run site just outside Carn Brea makes a breezy little base for all sorts of outdoor antics. Five minutes’ drive away from Rudruth, it’s in an area where chimney stacks act as a reminder of Cornwall’s mining heritage and farmland makes for rather sublime scenery. Stay here and you’ll be planting down in a large field that's got plenty of handy comforts. When you haven’t got a firepit alight, you can knock up meals or snacks at a small kitchen area that's got a washing-up area, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster. You’ll be able to get your paws on free-range eggs here; for your other familiar foods, there are supermarkets and shops a short drive down the hill. The site is a five-minute walk away from a dog-friendly pub with a reputation for its real ale selection and food. As for rules on site, noise should be kept to a minimum after 10pm and dogs kept on leads and cleaned up after. Barbecues should also be propped up using a brick from the stack by the bins, and ashes safely disposed of in the metal bin provided. If you do have a canine companion, it's handy to note there are dog walks a short stroll away – or there’s the daring Great Flat Lode, a 12-kilometre trek that circles Carn Brea, 10 minutes’ walk away.

Route directions

If approaching from Redruth through the village of Carnkie, don't turn right up Carn Brea Lane. Instead, continue out of the village and take the next turning on the right behind the large sign saying 'Welcome to Piece'. The entrance to the campsite is almost immediately on the right. If approaching from Pool/Camborne, turn left at the Countryman pub and then take the next left into Bowling Green. Again, the entrance to the site is on the right-hand side.

Local attractions

A proud beach bum or just fond of some sand-based activities? The waves at the large, sandy Portreath beach (15 minutes’ drive) are a magnet for surfing, while dog-friendly The Towans has sand dunes that are well suited to an easygoing walk or perhaps some sandcastle construction. Tehidy Woods (10 minutes) is another place to get your dog's exercise in. Meanwhile, at Land's End Landmark Attraction (50 minutes) you can swap forest trails for clifftop paths (and some bargain-hunting in the shopping village). Add a little tropical flavour to your stay… the rainforest biomes at Eden Project (55 minutes) are the type of place where you’ll want to get lost on purpose. Another of these lose-yourself-worthy gardens is The Lost Gardens of Heligan (55 minutes), with over 200 acres to look around. And to conquer some new lands? At Flambards Theme Park (20 minutes), you’ll be in a whole new sphere of rides and rollercoasters, while Pendennis Castle (half an hour) will take you back to Tudor times with its weaponry, keep and fortress.
