  • A country escape 30 minutes’ walk from the centre of Bodmin
  • A 20-minute drive from the Eden Project; 35 mins from Truro
  • Individual luxury shower rooms; on-site shop and bakery
Cornwall may be famed for its savoury pasties, but you can expect an altogether sweeter treat when you stay at Orchard Springs Campsite. The two-acre site is on the outskirts of the town of Bodmin, but green fields and an orchard and stream give it a country escape feel. The centre of Bodmin is less than two miles from Orchard Springs, and Bodmin Jail, Cornwall’s Regimental Museum, the Bodmin Town Museum and Bodmin’s Obelisk are all within 35 minutes’ walk of the site. Bodmin also has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants where you can pick up souvenirs and supplies, scull some local brews or have a taste of Cornish cuisine. If you’re not feeling up to the trip into Bodmin, an on-site shop in the reception hut has the basics you’ll need, as well as some Orchard Springs home-baked bread and pastries. A campers’ kitchen with microwave, fridge freezer and ice blocks is also available for guests’ use. A toilet block built by local craftspeople rounds out facilities, with individual shower rooms giving you a little extra privacy during your stay. Orchard Springs Campsite opened in 2018: its owners spent the 10 years before that running another successful site in the region.

What customers say

This small, quiet, well-kept campsite with friendly owners is praised for its spotless, private wet rooms. Convenient for exploring Bodmin and beyond. Guests love the peaceful vibe, generous pitches, and treats like morning pastries and pizza nights. A few noted shower button timing and occasional facility waits at busy times.

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Lovely quiet, friendly site, with well-maintained pitches surrounded by trees and lots of bird life! The offer of freshly brewed real coffee and freshly-baked croisantes from 08.00 was a definite bonus. Clean, tidy basic toilet and shower facilities. Short drive to Bodmin town, and the Jail and Steam Railway!

Disliked Rather narrow roads to access the site - but, hey, this is Cornwall!

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Lovely campsite, very spacious and quiet. We only stayed for 1 night, didn't use the showers because they were too cold, cement flooring and wooden outbuildings. Bodmin nursery within walking distance on a little footpath, had a very nice breakfast.

Disliked Too remote for us, long hilly trek to bus stop.
Didn't see any staff about, no information. Shower rooms very cold and basic.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your review and I’m sorry the site was not for you, I do not believe our toilet facilities are basic, they have polished concrete insulated floors with central heating and we are often complimented or the high standard of our individual bathrooms, best wishes, David and Emma

We had a very good stay here. Would recommend

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Generous sized pitches with hard standing and a large grassed area aswell. Extremely peaceful, coffee and tea in the season. Showers are all in separate cabins with each one having a toilet and sink. Very very well priced for such a large pitch and electric hook up. Shopping facilities only a 2 minute drive away and maybe a 15 minute stroll.

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Open site with 15 Hardstanding pitches. Very quiet as away from any main road.
Toilets and showers are in "En-suite" style rooms all spotlessly clean.
Wardens very helpful and friendly.
Lanhydrock /house and Gardens are within walking distance.

Disliked No Motorhome Grey Water drop point. That said the site has only just been permitted to take motorhomes so one may appear in the future.

Local attractions

Fans of the BBC’s Poldark will recognise some of the place names in the area around Orchard Springs: the towns of Bodmin and Truro are close by, with Bodmin a short walk from the site and Truro a 35-minute drive. Poldark is synonymous with lingering shots of the Cornish moors, and tours can take you to some of the coves and mines that bring the show to life. This area of Cornwall has a lot more to it than filming locations. The Eden Project, a 20-minute drive away, is a top spot to get up close with nature in the outdoor gardens and tropical and Mediterranean biomes or, if you’re feeling brave, have a go on England’s longest zipwire. The Eden Project looks to the future, but if you’d prefer to dig around in the past there are plenty of historic sites close by. Get a feel for Victorian life at Lanhydrock House and Gardens, a 15-minute drive from Orchard Springs; a look at the Elizabethan era at Prideaux Place, 30 minutes away, or head back to Georgian times at Pencarrow, 10 minutes from the site. If the zip wire at the Eden Project got you geared up for a more active break, you can cycle or walk the Camel Trail – which passes through Bodmin on its way towards the fishing port of Padstow on the northern Cornish coast – or take to the seas at one of the highly-rated surfing beaches nearby.
