  • Pick-your-own pitch wild camping site by the Tamar river in Cremyll
  • A five-minute walk to the local pub and foot ferry to Plymouth
  • Next to the 865-acre Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park
Now here’s a cool Cornwall location that’s got a bit of everything… Camp Bedrock is just outside Cremyll on the Rame Peninsula, with the entrance to the 865-acre Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park five minutes’ walk away along the coast path. This is a pretty waterside woodland spot on the banks of the Tamar river (and at the start/finish point of the Tamar Way), and you can also follow the coast path down to lovely seaside spots like the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand – or all the way along to the sandy beach and surf school at Whitsand Bay. As the location faces west you’ll often be treated to a colourful sunset as the backdrop to your evening barbecue or campfire too. So that’s countryside, river and coast sorted – anything else? Well, yes actually – the city of Plymouth is just across the river, and easily accessed via the foot ferry a few minutes’ walk away. That means you can be at the restaurants of Royal William Yard in about 20 minutes, or exploring the city centre’s attractions (like the Barbican, the Mayflower Steps and National Marine Aquarium) in about 45 minutes. Closer to base, there’s also a lovely waterside pub about five minutes’ walk away, and plenty of facilities within the country park (including some nice cafés as well as activities like alpaca walks and disc golf). On site, it’s a dog- and family-friendly setup where you can pick your own pitch. As a pop-up wild camping location there are no frills, but you will have access to compost toilets.

What customers say

Stunning, peaceful coastal spot with a "wild" vibe. Basic but clean facilities, handy for the coast path, Mount Edgcumbe & pub. Quirky charm, art & pitch choice a hit. Some found facilities basic & ground sloped, but most loved it and plan to return.

Harriet H.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked The informality, the open nature of the site with lots of places to be private if you want. The old buildings with graffiti. The fact that you could explore Plymouth by ferry and walk along the coast using the bus. Nearness to Mt Edgecumbe and the pub. The helpfulness of the owner when we nearly ran out of diesel on the way.

Unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked Fantasic little camp spot on the coast and 5 mins from Edgecombe Country Park and a top boozer called Edgecombe Arms. Overlooking Plymouth harbour. Great spot for fishing and not far from a lovely little fishing village Cawsand, coastal path and great sea bass fishing spots. Quirky old ww2 buildings and friendly staff with top food stop off recommendations. Compost toilet but you can build a nice camp fire

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked Exactly what we like in a site. No real frills but well maintained and right on the coast path. Enjoyed a stroll into Cawsand via Mount Edgecumbe with the dogs. The owner, Dean, was an absolute gent. We’ll be back again for another staycation.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Nice secluded spot, very quiet. Perfect place for an overnight stay if you enjoy wild camping. There is a toilet and a couple of bins and a water point, all you need really. Enjoyed hearing the owls in the trees above during the evening 😊 Would definitely stay again 😊

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Catching the ferry across the Mount Edgecumbe, then walking to the site.
The calm, peaceful feel of the site when we set up.
The cleanliness of toilet.
The fact that host had set up wood for campfire in the pit, ready for us when we arrived.
The coastal path which led to little harbour to look at Plymouth in the dark.
My son enjoyed exploring the outbuilding with graffiti art at night wit a torch.
