The campsite, my pitch.

  • Remote wild camping on a working farm near Penzance in rural Cornwall
  • A 10-minute drive to Land’s End, and 15 minutes to the Minack Theatre
  • Dog-friendly site with easy access from the A30
About as far as you can go in southwest England without actually falling into the sea, Little Bosanketh Farm Camping is a pop-up site in a pretty and peaceful Cornwall meadow, just off the A30. It’s a pick-your-own-pitch setup here, and there’s plenty of space to go around so you can have a little wander and choose the spot that appeals the most. It’s also a completely off-grid experience, with just running water and toilets provided on the facilities front (but although they may be basic, everything is kept spankingly clean). Life is all rather laidback here – you’re welcome to bring a dog along, and barbecues and campfires are also permitted. It’s best to pick up all the bits you need for such outdoor pursuits as you pass through Penzance (15 minutes’ drive), although there is a shop five minutes away in Sennen (and a pub too, if you’d rather eat out). Clearly you can’t come this far and not go down to Land’s End, which is about 10 minutes’ drive away. It’s also worth planning some time on Sennen beach and/or Porthcurno beach, and seeing if you can pick up tickets to a show at the seafront Minack Theatre.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: No thrills camping, you get exactly what you pay for. Plenty of room on the field to find a pitch. Clean portable toilets and a refuse point. At only £7 per adult it’s a bargain, especially with its close proximity to Lands End.

Disliked: Nothing to complain about. 👍

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Well there's not much to say, a field with a tap, bin and 2 toilets.

Disliked: The drive down a gravel dirt path is not suitable for motorbikes, if I had known this then I would not have booked
