  • Pop-up campsite on a Cornish farm with views over St Austell Bay
  • A 15-minutes drive to The Eden Project and five minutes to Fowey
  • Pubs or cafés 10 minutes’ drive; bus stop for Fowey across the road
With some seriously gorgeous panoramas over St Austell Bay to Fowey, Tremanor Farm camping park is on a south-facing field with a gentle slope. This peaceful, pop-up site on a working Cornwall farm may have a wild-camping vibe but it comes with a number of facilities along with those amazing sea views. Amenities include separate loo blocks showers, a washing-up area and plenty of stand pipes with drinking water throughout the field. There’s loads of extra parking too if needs be – but please note, this site has no electricity, so come prepared with torches and a supply of batteries. Lovely seaside Fowey (five minutes’ drive) is on hand with plenty of shops for keeping supplies topped up, as well as a host of pubs, seafood restaurants and ice-cream parlours if you don’t fancy cooking. A bus stop with a connection to Fowey is just across the road, and if you need to do laundry, facilities are just over a mile away. The site is also 20 minutes' walk away (just over a mile) from a bar with good drinks and live music gigs throughout the year. The site is owned by a Cornish couple who have accumulated masses of local knowledge, so if you’re after handy tips on how to spend your time in the west country, please just ask away.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The site is well situated for exploring mid-Cornwall. Fowey and Golant for paddle boarding just minutes away, and The Eden project only a few miles away. We had a large open field, which meant we had lots of space to have a quiet evening watching the sun set over the sea view with a beer, bonus of picnic tables and BBQ blocks available to use. A warm welcome from the host Tessa, with lots of great local knowledge and recommendation. Facilities were good, hot showers after a day paddle boarding were heaven, and clean toilets. Plus recycling and bins.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Views

Disliked: Described as “ wild vibe “ Field was left to fallow, no evidence of previous camping on site ( unlike the mapped out site in the pic. basically slightly overgrown field, with a cold water standpipe. Spartan toilets and showers, no hot water FYI. My fault should have read between the lines and gone to a site with more facilities.

From the manager: We are sorry you didn’t have the best experience it’s us. We are towards the end of the season, and had just had a few days of rain where the grass had shot up. We are a working farm, and will be re-seeding the field in the next few weeks, ready to have a cut of grass in the new year, for cattle feed silage, then have a 2nd cut of grass just before the new camping season. As for the showers not being hot, this is surprising as most people review about how lovely and hot the showers are. We hope you had a safe trip home, and hope that we can work on your feedback for next season.

Toilets and showers were clean. Lots of free space in the field.…

Liked: Beautiful location. Basic amenities but perfectly clean and hygienic. Showers were lovely and hot! 5 min drive to Fowey and easy access. Grassy field was flat and loads of space for us. No noise from the road or other campers. Great camping - thanks!

Local attractions

The site’s location makes exploring Cornwall’s big-hitting attractions a breeze. You can tick off The Eden Project (15 minutes’ drive), with its futuristic biospheres packed with tropical plants, and tour the Lost Gardens of Heligan (35 minutes) – and for something a little bit different, catch the daily boat service from Fowey to the gardens instead of arriving by car. As well as being the antiques capital of Cornwall, Lostwithiel (10 minutes) has delightful walks around Restormel Castle, and you could easily spend the day at National Trust-owned Lanhydrock House and Garden (20 minutes), which has a majestic house to explore, formal gardens to wander and some lovely woodland strolls – especially pretty in spring when the bluebells are out. And prehistory lovers, Castle Dore (10 minutes) is the remains of a (roughly) 7,000-year-old Iron Age fort with lovely sea views. Kids with you? There’s safe swimming at Readymoney Cove (five minutes), and for the very energetic, Woody’s Bike Park (10 minutes) has challenging tracks for mountain bikers of all levels. Kayaking or canoeing adventurers might like to head for the little village of Golant (15 minutes) on the Fowey river for a paddle upstream.
