  • Peaceful family-friendly site on a Cornwall working farm
  • Two miles from the Eden Project: arrange personal guided tours on site
  • Landscaped wildlife haven, pond and summer storytelling/pasty nights
A wildlife haven half a mile from the Cornish coast with easy access to famed destinations like Fowey, Mevagissey and the Eden Project… head to East Crinnis Camping and Caravan Park for the whole heap. This friendly, peaceful and family-friendly site is in a secluded and scenic rural setting on a working farm, well placed for easy access to enough Cornish destinations to occupy all ages and tastes for weeks. It's a 20-minute stroll from here to the mile-long sands, fishing, watersports centre and South West Coast Path access of Shorthorn beach in Carlyon Bay – that'll keep you occupied for at least the first week – and a five-minute drive (or two-mile bike ride) to the famed Eden Project near St Austell; the farm owners can arrange personal guided tours. As it's a wildlife haven, there's loads to spot on site and around the handsome lake added as part of East Crinnis's farmland conservation project. Guests can fish for free (although you'll need to bring along the relevant Environment Agency licence). Rudd, roach and small carp (max 4lb) swim in the waters so it's a super spot for nippers and novices to have a go. It's all well thought out around the accommodation area too: this part of the farm is carefully landscaped and has plenty of shelter and colour among its many shrubs and flowers near a backdrop of tall pine and fir trees. Previous guests have raved about the many fab features of this splendid little site – bag a break here to find them out for yourself. The free storytelling and pasty evenings held weekly during Whitsun and summer school holidays may have something to do with it…

This well-maintained site offers peaceful stays with beautiful natural surroundings. Guests highlight the helpful and friendly staff, spotless washrooms, and on-site activities. Generous, private pitches. Close to the beach, coastal paths, and attractions like the Eden Project. Minor issues: spotty Wi-Fi, occasional road noise.

Liked This site is just perfect! Well landscaped pitches surrounded by a wide range of beautiful shrubs and mature trees to make for some lovely secluded spots. Our pitch was under an old oak, that was ideal for shade during the very hot weather.

Impeccably clean shower and loo block, with a good covered wash up area. Water points close by to pitches, and the recyling/bin area is well positioned tucked away from any pitches.

The staff are so friendly nothing is too much trouble, and they serve great coffee at the shack, along with breakfasts. And in the evening you can buy truly local cider (made on the farm) to wash down your delicious made to order pizza.

Conveniently situated for both inland exploring (Eden project) and the coast, there's even a walk straight from the campsite to the beach (around 20 mins).

We'll definitely be back, so please don't keep filling it up all the time people! 😄

Liked Lovely site. Staff super friendly. Loved fairy trail

Disliked Need to be a little clearer that the water slide isn't open during all school holidays. Main reason we booked the site but as local schools weren't on holiday it wasn't open. All the schools from the midlands were on holiday which is when we went

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked It was my first time there, and I was sorry to leave the place. A beautiful place to relax, well-organized like a camping village. Clean restrooms, a quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and water and electricity hookups at each pitch. It was my first time camping, and I didn't know the power outlets were three-phase; fortunately, the owner lent me an extension cord.

Local attractions

To the sands! Local beach Shorthorn is a popular (but uncrowded) place for families, with over a mile of sand, a kids' play area and safe waters for fishing and swimming. The South West Coast Path runs past the beach for hikes east to Par or west to Porthpean. Other seaside spots very much worth a visit in the area include the harbours of Charlestown, five minutes' drive from the farm, Fowey within 15 and the fishing port of Mevagissey within 20. Townwise, sample more Cornish pasties as well as a Cornish cider or two at Falmouth (55 minutes), also home to independent shops, the National Maritime Museum and boat trips on the River Fal. Heading further north, it's 35 minutes' drive from the farm to access the flat and traffic-free Camel Trail at Wadebridge, running for 14 miles to Padstow via ancient Bodmin, and 35 minutes to the waves and surf schools of Newquay. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are within 25 minutes' drive away.
