  • Off-grid eco site in Cornwall, 15 minutes' drive from the coast
  • On the edge of Luxulyan Valley, 10 mins' drive from the Eden Project
  • A 10-minute walk from the Clay Trails walking and cycle paths
Now this one's worth making some noise about… A five-minute drive from the Cornish village of Bugle, Canna Farm is a haven of peace and solitude, only 15 minutes' drive away from the scenic beaches of Saint Austell Bay and under four miles' walk from the famed rainforest biospheres of the Eden Project Luxulyan is just over a mile and a half away (around 40 minutes' walk) along a quiet, scenic road that passes by alpacas and cows. The village pub serves delicious food and drinks and has a skittle alley. Perhaps a simple eco-friendly base to see it all from? One with bags of space, hedgerows, stone walls and long grass giving a sense of privacy are what you'll get at Canna Farm, along with individual and communal firepits. Have a chat with the folk on site to order in fab local produce plus all the kit you need to get a barbecue on the go. The farm is in a canny location for getting out and about around Cornwall too: it's a 10-minute stroll from here to join the Clay Trails, a network of routes linking mid-Cornwall’s mining heritage with top rural scenery and wildlife, and just on the edge of the rather gorgeous Luxulyan Valley (appointed as a World Heritage Site for its mix of scenery and industrial heritage). It's also five minutes to the A30, giving easy access across the county from Bodmin Moor to Land’s End, and, if using public transport, about the same to catch buses and trains from Bugle. Bugle's also the place for more eats, drinks and practicalities: there’s a symphony of useful stuff here including a shop, a pub with food, a fish and chip shop and a Chinese takeaway.

Liked Eco friendly camping. The way each spacious pitch is separated with greenery. Friendly and helpful host. Nice shower facilities. Lots of character.

Disliked The only thing we would have liked more - some hot water in the washing up area.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked We stayed 3 nights at Canna Farm and loved every minute of our stay, it's a little slice of heaven, we loved the natural feel of this eco campsite and were sad to leave, we will definitely be going back, the location is perfect for trips out during the day too, but also we were more than happy to just stay on site and relax, the owner, Nicky is really friendly and helpful and makes you feel really welcome, all in all its a beautiful campsite with lovely people and we can't wait for our next visit.

Foxes Den bell tent

Liked The place is in a great setting . Peaceful and Clean and well kept.
I really enjoyed the serene landscape and the simple life at the farm.
Nikki was so helpful with useful tips and hints to explore the area in and around st austell and Charlestown and further what to see in Lands end and St Ives.
Really enjoyed cycling and walking.
As a novice camper , the bell tent was a great base , u just bring ur cooking equipment and towels and it takes the hassle out of setting a tent if u are not ready for that.
All in all loved the stay and will come back for sure.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked This is the nicest campsite I've stayed at in a long time. A real campsite too - peaceful, big pitches, eco facilities with as little disruption to the surroundings as possible and a little farm shop on site. Nicki is also lovely and has clearly put a lot of work into making the site as great as it is!

Local attractions

Pace yourself and visit the Eden Project more than once for more than one type of adventure: as well as the biodomes to see, there's jumping, swinging, falling and zipwiring all on offer at Eden's Hangloose Adventure. Canna Farm's equally well placed for another major attraction: it's half an hour to the Lost Gardens of Heligan, which are a touching tribute to human endeavours as well as a fab horticultural feature to wander around for hours. For watersports and more sedate seaside activities, it's a 15-minute drive to Carlyon Bay and St Austell and half an hour to the popular coastal spots of Par Sands and Pentewan beach. For a different perspective on the sea, make for Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre (20 minutes) to see a variety of strange stuff salvaged from the waves. If it's clifftop hikes and trots along the dunes you're into, link up with the South West Coast Path at Charlestown, or pick it up at Par Sands and walk the wilder spaces of the Polperro Heritage Coast, finishing off with a swim at Readymoney Cove (half an hour by car). Depending on age and tastes, there's plenty of indoor entertainment on offer as well, from tours and tastings at St Austell Brewery (15 minutes), to meeting the feathered inhabitants of the Screech Owl Sanctuary 20 minutes away near St Columb Major.
