  • 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

Quiet, peaceful, well-kept site with friendly owners. Guests loved the flat grass pitches, good value, and WiFi. Dog-friendly with exercise space. Facilities are basic but functional; some want updates and better hot water for dishes. Narrow access may challenge larger RVs. Great stopover, many would return.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Very nice quiet camp site, very friendly owners.

Disliked Not a big dislike but the toilet/ shower facilities are very basic and could do with a bit of modernising. And no hot water to do washing up unless you can get in the owners kitchen, which I’m sure wouldn’t be a practical thing if the camp site was full.

Liked We loved the peaceful small site that was perfectly flat and a choice of any pitch that was free. Andy couldn’t have been more accommodating to us and everything we wanted was in this weekend. Will definitely be back

Disliked The only thing I would say it would benefit from is a proper shower & toilet block
