  • Well-maintained friendly site on the edge of Bodmin Moor
  • A 25-minute drive to Cornwall's north coast; 35 mins to Eden Project
  • Easy access from the A30; pub 15 minutes' walk away
Leave the noise of modern life behind and replace it with the gentle hum of moorland life… relaxed Cornwall site Traveller’s Rest is just on the edge of Bodmin Moor, in a rural spot where you can really slow the pace of life for a little while. The setup here is one of proper countryside peace, with plenty of space, friendly farm animals in the adjacent fields and lovely views out over your moorland surroundings (and all the way to Dartmoor on a fine day). Settle down at this peaceful site and you’ll most likely get the idea that you’re entirely immersed in rural life – but in fact, this spot is also really rather well located for getting in, getting out and heading all over to see the sights. The A30 is just over a mile away from the site, making it a doddle to get out to the rest of Cornwall – including both the north and south coastlines. Launceston is about 15 minutes’ drive away for shops and other bits and bobs, and you can walk to the local pub in about 15 minutes. Facilities on site here have been well thought out, including toilets, showers, a washing machine and communal areas where you can find the team, use the shared fridge and freezer, or just pop in for a chat and a cuppa. Owner Andy grew up around these parts so is a handy person to natter to for local tips; he and his team are always happy to help if there’s something you need during your stay (well, within reason…)

What customers say

Great value, clean, quiet site with friendly owners. Flat pitches, on-site WiFi, and dogs welcome. Secluded, but narrow access road a challenge for caravans. Some facilities need a spruce-up.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Another lovely stay! Beautiful location and defiantly one of our faves! Friendly site owners, toilets and shower nice and clean and always well stocked.

Disliked - WiFi was a bit hit and miss the further away you are from the building but phone signal was fine so not too much of a dislike!
- no hot water for the washing up area and not under a cover which means you get wet when it rains!
- £1 to use the shower for 10 minutes. Doesn’t feel long enough but if you don’t mind a quick shower it’s no problem!

Liked Lovely small campsite with everything needed. Owner is lovely and friendly and the people who live and work there go above and beyond. We extended our stay as we enjoyed it so much. Our 7 and 9 year old have enjoyed their stay too as theres some lovely walks and plenty of animals to see. Wifi is an added bonus too.

Liked Nice quite site

Disliked If travelling there in a caravan make sure you plan the route to the site. Road is challenging. Early morning or late evening when roads are quite would be favourable

Liked Best part is you get wifi at your pitch.
Highly pocket friendly
Host was extremely helpful and polite
Grass was cut
Land was levelled
Shower is good can be used for 1£ for 10 min
There is a washing machine at the shower can be used for 3£
Dog friendly site
Cannot hear any noise of vehicle as it is secluded from the road

Disliked 1. Toilet was a nightmare. There was one toilet block and shower at reception which was good but, they repeatedly told me that there is one toilet block near the tent, i tried going at it many times, but it was filled with cob webs and at night it would become home of uncountable full sized snails and slugs , on the walls, on the toilet seat on the floor , at the door handle. Toilet definitely needs to be taken care of by the host.

2. The location is close from the main road but on a extremely narrow lane for just 1 vehicle with twists & turns so you have to be careful. We faced a tractor on the way and had to drive reverse a long way to find a passing place

3. There is no proper place to brush your teeth or hot water at wash area. There is sink in the toilet block but unclean toilets carry smell and germs so cant be used for brushing. Only one place outside the toilet block to wash utensils but it didn't have any hot water and was under open sky so you have to wait for the rain to go away.

Liked Lovely and peaceful, and we could exercise our dog in the lower field which was then free of campers. Used as a stop off point on our way further down into Cornwall and would use again - maybe for a longer period.
