Camping set up and site view

  • Rural site with spectacular views, a sauna and gorgeous sunsets
  • Under 30 minutes’ drive from Boscastle, Padstow, Polzeath and Tintagel
  • Walking distance from local pub, café and the Camel Trail cycle route
You won't find bright lights or a noisy clubhouse at Camp De Lank – just peace, quiet and laidback, friendly vibes. This grassy site in Cornwall is all about the simple pleasures of outdoor life: stargazing, barbecuing and reconnecting with nature. Camp De Lank is a peaceful place where family and friends can reconnect, unwind and explore some of Cornwall’s most celebrated spots – the owners are longstanding locals who are very happy to give tips on the best things to do in the local area. Not that you need to stray far for something to do, as the site has a wood-fired sauna, a small play area and board games to borrow. This four-and-a-half-acre site has pitches with sweeping views over the local countryside, making Camp De Lank a spectacular place to be at sunrise and sunset. Handmade Cornish cocktails can be delivered to your tent on a daily basis, so get those orders in ready for a sunset sip. There are also modern and well-maintained toilets and showers, plus nifty extras like ice pack freezing and a battery pack charging service. Camp De Lank is in the small hamlet of Lank, two miles from the edge of Bodmin Moor and half a mile from the start of the popular Camel Trail bike route. Head to the latter to set out along 18 flat, scenic and traffic-free miles, or stick closer to base and pick up drinks and snacks at an off-grid cyclists' café (10 minutes' walk).

What customers say

A lovely, tranquil spot with great facilities, friendly staff and stunning views. Perfect for exploring the Camel Trail. Some midges and a wish for more charging points were noted, but overall, a highly recommended site for a peaceful getaway.

Lynsey T.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had such a fantastic stay here! We are well rehearsed campers and if I could rate a site 5+ I would! This site is beautifully kept, really clean and perfectly located within 20-30 minutes drive for most of the popular sites to explore the area. Facilities were spotless and well looked after and the pitches were spacious with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Kaya was extremely friendly and welcoming and it really felt like she had thought of all the little touches that make a camping trip stress-free and enjoyable - logs & firepits available, fresh freezer blocks and games if needed! The atmosphere was peaceful, family and dog friendly and we left already planning our return visit.

Friday night pizzas from the Snail Pace Cafe were a must! The Camelford trail is great for those who have bikes or dogs. We also visits by car Tintagel, Port Isaac, Rock, Charles Town, Wadebridge and Padstow during our stay here with ease.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet and well-run campsite with a short distance to drive to a lot of popular tourist destinations or make use of the cameltrail!

Birgit R.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Kaya has created a space of peace and closeness to the nature. We could sit next to our tent and look over a vast green valley into the setting sun.
I liked the fact, that we could choose our own slot. It was a quiet place.
The fascilities were clean and everything we needed. Besides that, Kaya supplied us with power banks to charge our mobil phones.
Kaya has such a lovely spirit.

Liked Location with views
Small and peaceful, mainly level camping field
Lovely spacious pitches
Excellent and well looked after facilities!
Friendly, caring and helpful staff
Relaxed atmosphere and great walking and cycling close by

Disliked Particularly with a failing leisure battery we would have loved to have an option to plug in or at least charge our bike batteries. A little tricky to get to in a bigger vehicle.

Local attractions

Feeling thirsty? Get set for very mellow times at Camel Valley Vineyard (15 minutes' drive/an hour by bike via the Camel Trail), where tours, tastings and wine by the glass (or bottle) are available for fans of English red, white and sparkling wine. Not that you'll want to be sampling their wares on an empty stomach – but there are plenty of foodie spots in Wadebridge (20 minutes' drive), Padstow (30 minutes) and Polzeath (30 minutes) to see to that… As well as the Camel Trail, popular biking spots include Cardinham Woods (20 minutes) on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor and Old Hill Bike Park (10 minutes), a family-oriented set of circuits with all-weather trails ranging from green (balance bikes suitable) through to black (experienced riders only). If horseback travel's the thing, you're also just over two miles from Hallagenna Riding, an equestrian centre with activities for all abilities. Handily, Camp De Lank is within an easy half-hour drive of the Eden Project, where huge tropical domes will take you off to all sorts of far-flung habitats.
