  • Back-to-basics, off-grid campsite in Bodmin Moor National Landscape
  • Hurlers Stone Circles 10 minutes’ drive; Adrenalin Quarry 25 minutes
  • Two-acre camping field with modern facilities in a converted horse box
What say you to nearly wild camping with spectacular views? Stars and Moor in Bodmin Moor National Landscape certainly has views in spades – right to the distant south coast in fact – and what’s more, there are just a handful of off-grid camping pitches on site, all spread out across two acres of pasture surrounded by Cornish walling. All the pitches are on grass and you can pick your preferred spot on arrival. Vehicles are parked in a designated area, from which your gear is transported to the pitches in a wheelbarrow. Facilities in the converted horse trailer include hot showers and fully plumbed loos, and there’s ample hot water to make your alfresco washing up less of a chore – but please do note there’s no electricity on site. On-site entertainment is all about the views, which you can appreciate while cooking on your firepit – hire one on site, complete with a supply of firewood. The skies on cloudless nights are a glittering marvel that you can share with family and friends while cosying up around the fire. Pack walking boots for yomps on Bodmin Moor footpaths from your tent, and bring bikes for cycling on moorland tracks or canoes for adventures out on Siblyback Lake. Local amenities are a short stroll away in the village of Minions (20 minutes’ walk), where there’s a well-stocked shop and the highest tea room in Cornwall. Heading in the opposite direction are two pubs within 15 minutes’ walk.

What customers say

Tidy little campsite with peace, solitude, and great moorland views. Friendly hosts offer thoughtful extras. Facilities are spotless. Steep, rocky lane is a challenge but worth it for the location and quiet. More toilets needed in peak times.

Liked Great views, very close to the old mines and some great walks. You really feel off grid here. Phone signal was reasonable still. Very friendly owners and overall would be happy to stay here again.

Disliked The one toilet/shower situation is annoying, you end up loosing most your morning waiting around for the facilities. If it wasn't for that, this would be a 10/10

Liked A peaceful remote site with amazing views. Lots of space between pitches and peaceful during school holidays. Good facilities - Fridge, freezer, microwave and electric kettle. Also had a picnic bench on the pitch. Good for dark skies and seeing the stars.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Remote Moor top location, dark skies, quiet, just sheep, cows and birds. Saw a pair of Ravens for the first time ever. Kettle and microwave for visitors was a useful addition. Pitches well spread out and each one had a picnic table. Plenty of lovely places to visit and walk in local area.

Disliked One toilet/shower. Was actually fine but a second toilet would be good.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Loved this place, great setting. Great pitches. Will come again.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review Jackie. It really means a lot to us.

We're so pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the site and those beautiful views from your pitch – they're something we never get tired of ourselves! It's also wonderful to hear that you found the facilities clean and that the friendly atmosphere created by our guests made your stay even more enjoyable.

Super that you were able to get out and explore the moor and visit the café in Minions – it's a great place to stop for a bite to eat after a walk and do a bit of Sheep watching and the slower pace of life! .

It was a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your kind words about our welcome. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope we'll have the chance to welcome you back again soon.

Liked Stars and Moors was just what we were looking for — a quiet site with plenty of space between pitches. There are great views and it’s just a short walk to the moors, with Minions within walking distance (There is a small shop there).

The owners were very friendly and helpful, the toilet and fantastic shower were both very clean.

We’ll definitely be returning. Thank you!

Liked Peaceful, beautiful views, friendly, stars were amazing. We absolutely loved it and would definitely go back.
