Caradon Woods Camping

The three-acre meadow where you'll be staying

'Wild glamping' in a 40-acre ancient woodland, for exclusive use
Watersports, mountain biking and steam railway within 25 mins' drive
Bell tents on the banks of the river, with beds and firepit provided

Wild glamping… what’s that? Well, it’s a fine mix of the peace and freedom of wild camping coupled with the added comfort of a glamping break. And the place to try out such a thing is at Caradon Woods Camping, in the Cornwall countryside 10 minutes’ drive from Callington. Two-night stays at this rural site should give you plenty of time to explore your surroundings – you’ll be pitched in a three-acre meadow on the banks of the river, with exclusive access to a large chunk of pristine woodland. And it’s all reserved for the use of you and your gang: take a dip in the river if you like, look out for the wildlife around the place, or embrace the wild side of things by hanging out in a hammock in the trees (stay there all night if you fancy a properly memorable night under the stars…) Rather embrace the comfier side of things? That’s perfectly fine too: the three bell tents (available to one group only) will be set up with camp beds (although you’ll need to bring bedding), and you’ll have access to a large covered A-frame area with tables and seating for your meals. There’s also access to compost loos, a basic solar shower and plenty of fresh water. Meals here are best cooked up on the firepit – it comes with a supply of wood, a tripod, a hot plate and a large kettle, plus a couple of large pans, a spatula and a ladle. You’ll just need to turn up with a recipe, and source some supplies (perhaps from a couple of farm shops 10 minutes’ drive away). Don’t worry about having to lug your kit around: upon arrival your stuff will be transported to the camp area by four wheel drive.
