  • Eden Project and St Austell within 20 minutes' drive
  • Woodland walk down to Readymoney beach; bus stop outside the site
Got your heart set on Fowey as a place to stay? It’s an excellent choice – this cute little town is a real highlight of Cornwall, with a real sense of heritage as well as some gorgeous sea views. Keeping things very simple for a stay here is Lambs Barn Camping Ground, a wild camping site in a wooded valley on the edge of town, about a kilometre from the village centre. From here you'll also be able to walk along a footpath through the woods down to Readymoney beach, a sheltered sandy cove that’s fabulous for a dip in the sea. Longer walks might take you out onto the South West Coast Path, which runs along the entirety of Cornwall’s coastline, and there’s a bus stop just outside the site for longer jaunts around the county. This site is billed as having wild camping – and that’s almost true, as you’ll be settling down in nature-filled grass meadows for a real sense of countryside calm. There are, however, a few conveniences to make your stay a little more comfortable, including a water supply, gas-powered showers and portable toilets. Laundry facilities are close by if you need them. Down in Fowey you should find plenty to entertain yourselves, including watersports centres (with kayak and paddleboard hire) and riverside walks, plus shops, pubs and places to eat. There’s also a ferry service across the bay to Mevagissey (a route that’s well known for dolphin-spotting opportunities).

What customers say

A simple, rural spot with a superb location, perfect for walking to Fowey and Readymoney Cove through lovely woods. The owner's always praised for being helpful. Facilities are basic but clean, with the outdoor shower a hit. It's peaceful and roomy, though it can be hilly. Toilets have been upgraded recently.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked 12-15 minute walk to Fowey or Readymoney cove. Nice views across corn field and woods. We were only expecting a field, so were surprised to find toilets and makeshift shower and washing up facilities, plus an ELSAN point.

Disliked It’s a field, so it’s steep and uneven in places, as you would expect.

Liked Great location to access Fowey and the surrounding beaches.

Disliked Field is quite uneven, so can be difficult to find an even patch. Facilities are very basic, toilets in next field could do with a light in the dark.
