  • Wild camping with spectacular views on the Saint’s Way in Cornwall
  • A 10-minute drive to the Eden Project and 30 minutes to the coast
  • Back-to-basics site with hot showers; barbecues allowed
Everybody and their dogs are welcome at The Camping Field, a sheltered hillside spot with views across to Helman Tor and its prehistoric fort. Located in the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this site is all about peaceful seclusion – but with the added bonus of being a 10-minute drive from the A30. Whether you’re just passing through on your way to Land’s End or hanging around for a while, chances are you won’t be lost for something to do here. For starters, there are hiking opportunities aplenty: choose between the Saint’s Way (accessed directly from the site), Bodmin Moor (15 minutes’ drive) and the South West Coast Path (25 minutes). If you want to add a bit of culture to the mix, Georgian-era Pencarrow House and Garden (20 minutes) has a good line in antiques, as well as walks in landscaped parkland. The sea is a must in Cornwall, of course, so it's handy that the site is just a 30-minute drive from south coast beaches like sandy Porthpean and dog-friendly Spit Beach, and the kids can burn off energy on the rides at Springfield Fun Park (20 minutes). Most people, however, will probably put the famous Eden Project (10 minutes) at the top of their to-do list, and spend a day pottering around tropical greenhouses dotted with madcap sculptures. Limited facilities to give guests something of a wild-camping experience include toilets, hot showers, water taps, a washing-up area and a grey-water waste unit. Barbecues are permitted on site, and you can pick up any bits and bobs in St Austell (20 minutes).

What customers say

This no-frills, back-to-basics campground gets rave reviews for its quiet vibe, roomy sites, and amazing views. Guests loved the welcoming owner, Richard, always ready to help. Clean washrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers are a plus. Great value and a perfect base for seeing Cornwall. Access roads can be a bit tight.

Liked Lovely quiet site with everything you need and nothing more - perfect camping. I stayed a few nights solo, the owner and the site felt very welcoming. Facilities were always clean, toilets fully plumbed in, field is well kept and with multiple fire extinguishers, outdoor tap and bins/recycling available. Good local connections to some very quaint towns, villages and beach spots. These kind of sites always attract like-minded people, everybody was very quiet and respectful of eachother's enjoyment of their holiday. I will absolutely be coming back as there is still much for me to see in the area.

Liked We likes everything and couldn't fault anything. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, he came round to have a chat with everyone to make sure we were all ok, facilities were always clean as the owner cleaned them a few times a day. There was plenty of room for the kids to play/bike/play football etc. Exactly how camping is supposed to be.

Liked Spacious, simple site, good views, friendly host Richard. We are used to wild camping in multiple countries and this is a basic site with loos and showers, water and electric hook up for people who want it. Laid back vibe which we appreciate.

Disliked No real dislikes as we like a basic site.

Local attractions

Screech Owl Sanctuary (20 minutes’ drive) is home to more than just owls, though these are really rather lovely to handle and admire in the regular flying displays. Other residents include emus, alpacas and wallabies, which you can meet, pet and feed (advance booking is recommended). Also on site are a playground and a café serving delicious homemade cakes. If you're travelling with young children, they might like the rides at Camel Creek Family Theme Park (30 minutes), which include a floral take on spinning teacups, a gentle drop tower and a water-fight ground with fillable balloons, plus soft-play areas. At the restored Lost Gardens of Heligan (40 minutes), you can stroll through themed areas such as the Productive Gardens, growing a bounty of fruit and veg; the Pleasure Grounds, dotted with statuary and fountains; and the Jungle, a lush area of tropical palm trees, banana plantations and bamboo tunnels.
