Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Lynn (did I get the spelling right?) was lovely and super helpful; the site was small but it's clear she cares about it deeply and wants it to be a place where people can come and enjoy nature and peace, from the local community as well as people travelling in. We had a perfect night despite the weather and can't wait to come back soon and see what she's done with the place next, it's only going to get better as more amenities get added!

Local attractions

Gover Green Space is set in a former Cornish tin-streaming valley. A stroll on Hensbarrow Moor (20 minutes’ drive) leads to many reminders of this historic craft, from the ruins of Littlejohns China Clay Pit (15 minutes) to the numerous mounds of vegetation-covered spoil heaps that dot the horizon. Find out more about the tin-mining industry in the museum at Wheal Martyn Clay Works (10 minutes). The site is also in the middle of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – a magnet for walkers and cyclists heading for the Neolithic moments and cairns on Bodmin Moor (35 minutes) or the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves along The Roseland Peninsula (25 minutes). Big-hitting Cornish attractions for a family day out include The Eden Project (20 minutes) and its exotic plantings in biomes and ever-changing art displays, or the enchanting Lost Gardens of Heligan, with waterside meanders and madcap sculptures to ramble around.
