Cornwall may be famed for its savoury pasties, but you can expect an altogether sweeter treat when you stay at Orchard Springs Campsite. The two-acre site is on the outskirts of the town of Bodmin, but green fields and an orchard and stream give it a country escape feel. The centre of Bodmin is less than two miles from Orchard Springs, and Bodmin Jail, Cornwall’s Regimental Museum, the Bodmin Town Museum and Bodmin’s Obelisk are all within 35 minutes’ walk of the site. Bodmin also has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants where you can pick up souvenirs and supplies, scull some local brews or have a taste of Cornish cuisine. If you’re not feeling up to the trip into Bodmin, an on-site shop in the reception hut has the basics you’ll need, as well as some Orchard Springs home-baked bread and pastries. A campers’ kitchen with microwave, fridge freezer and ice blocks is also available for guests’ use. A toilet block built by local craftspeople rounds out facilities, with individual shower rooms giving you a little extra privacy during your stay. Orchard Springs Campsite opened in 2018: its owners spent the 10 years before that running another successful site in the region.

What customers say

A lovely, quiet site with ample pitches and spotless facilities. The owners are dead on. Handy coffee, pastries, and pizza nights. Great base for Cornwall. A few more loos needed at busy times, and the odd bit of football racket.

Liked Lovely little campsite. Very welcoming & quiet. Coffee croissants etc available each morning great touch. Would come back but will bring bikes next time.

Disliked Very small pitches ( well the smallest we’ve experienced) very close to neighbours! Not in easy walking distance of much & steep hills each side.

Liked I enjoyed the site very much. Clean facilities, good showers, plenty of room, no noisy dogs. A microwave an added bonus. In easy reach of the Camel trail.

Disliked Empty loo roll holder, no spare to refill it.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This is our second visit to Orchard Springs and we will continue to use them when we camp this way.
Perfect position in Bodmin, easy access to all parts of Cornwall.
The facilities are excellent, good size pitches, clean hot showers, pizza nights on Thursdays and lovely coffee and pastries in the morning.
The campsite owners are on site everyday and involved in the running of the site.

It’s a very dog friendly site, a stream running along the side and a big field kept for the dogs to run around in.

Cannot recommend this site enough!

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Small and very tidy site. Welcoming hosts and very good facilities. We wanted a smaller, quieter site and this was exactly what we were looking for. We didn't use the breakfast offers but would have if we had been staying longer, they looked great. Will definitely return and will recommend the site to friends.

Disliked Actually can't find fault

Local attractions

Fans of the BBC’s Poldark will recognise some of the place names in the area around Orchard Springs: the towns of Bodmin and Truro are close by, with Bodmin a short walk from the site and Truro a 35-minute drive. Poldark is synonymous with lingering shots of the Cornish moors, and tours can take you to some of the coves and mines that bring the show to life. This area of Cornwall has a lot more to it than filming locations. The Eden Project, a 20-minute drive away, is a top spot to get up close with nature in the outdoor gardens and tropical and Mediterranean biomes or, if you’re feeling brave, have a go on England’s longest zipwire. The Eden Project looks to the future, but if you’d prefer to dig around in the past there are plenty of historic sites close by. Get a feel for Victorian life at Lanhydrock House and Gardens, a 15-minute drive from Orchard Springs; a look at the Elizabethan era at Prideaux Place, 30 minutes away, or head back to Georgian times at Pencarrow, 10 minutes from the site. If the zip wire at the Eden Project got you geared up for a more active break, you can cycle or walk the Camel Trail – which passes through Bodmin on its way towards the fishing port of Padstow on the northern Cornish coast – or take to the seas at one of the highly-rated surfing beaches nearby.
