General
- Pop-up camping in a peaceful village near St Austell, Cornwall
- A five-minute drive to the Eden Project; 15 minutes to Porthpean beach
- Streamside pitches with wifi and electric car charging
Tucked away by a stream in a secluded garden, Eden’s Walk at Rowan Cottage is a pop-up micro-site set deep in Cornish countryside near St Austell. As well as peace and quiet, it has one very big USP – it’s only a five-minute drive or a half-hour walk from the fabulous Eden Project – where you can easily spend a day pottering around the world’s largest indoor rainforest.
Set in the village of Trethurgy, the wild camping garden has easy access to the Clay Trails, a series of walking and cycling routes connecting up Cornwall’s china clay-mining heritage.
For a back-to-basics site, this one is surprisingly well equipped. For a start, there’s a decent wifi connection and charging facilities for your devices if you need to touch base with home.
There’s also ice-pack freezing on hand, as well as chemical disposal, recycling and a charging point for electric cars.
You’ll certainly never starve here either; there’s use of a barbecue (pick up essentials in St Austell, 10 minutes’ drive). There’s no real reason to cook, though, with a winery (five minutes) close by offering a Sunday carvery as well as award-winning English wines, and a homely pub in the neighbouring village of Luxulyan (ten minutes) that serves local meats and fish as well as welcoming kids and dogs.
Open from 05/16/2022 to 10/01/2022

Thank you, we are still missing all the buzz of the weekend and meeting so many like-minded people with an interest in the same music. I don't think we will have a weekend like this one again in a hurry, how have I never heard of NIN and I love music?! Best wishes, Fran. |

Thank you for your kind review, just a shame about the weather. We love the Eden Sessions, these 2 nights were our busiest so far and we met the nicest of people in such adverse weather conditions. We hope to see you again in the future. :o) |

It was a pleasure to have campers here for NIN, the nicest bunch of likeminded people. You are part of our Cornish family now and we hope to see you again in the future. My only regret is I didn't manage to get last minute tickets to see this incredible band! |
