  • Relaxed site on a small farm 10 minutes' drive from St Austell
  • Mevagissey and Lost Gardens of Heligan within 15 minutes' drive
  • Stream, lake and farm animals on site; campfire logs and eggs to buy
Pleasant indeed is life on site at Pleasant Streams Farm Camping, a relaxed rural Cornwall site a mile outside of the village of Sticker and 10 minutes’ drive from St Austell. If the name conjures up images of classic English countryside, then you’ve got it just about spot on: this is a place of pretty fields with a stream running through the site and a little lake where you can potter about in the rowing boat. The site’s ethos is on keeping things simple and natural: kids are encouraged to play on rope swings in the trees and you can all look out for wildlife including rabbits, badgers, hawks and owls. Embracing outdoor life here also means meeting the site’s resident miniature goats, Bluebell and Rosie, and the pair of pigs called Del Boy and Rodney. There are chickens and ducks on site too, and you can buy their eggs for a tasty breakfast. And what about an evening meal? Well, those can be cooked over a campfire (as long as you use one of the designated fire rings) and there are sacks of logs available to buy on site to help you along. Pick up supplies at the farm shop 10 minutes’ walk away or pop into St Austell for more shopping options. Filling your days around here should be easy – the stunning Roseland Heritage Coast is only about 15 minutes’ drive away for days out in the likes of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey and Charlestown, or you can get to the north coast in about half an hour. In keeping with the natural ethos, facilities here are simple but guests will have access to showers and toilets (both compost loos and flushing toilets).

Liked: Nice quiet campsite. Toilets and showers very clean and tidy. Lovely warm showers. Easy 10 minute walk to shop and pub. We were in a camper, nice level ground. No issues leaving after some very heavy rain overnight! We will definately use again.

Billy Blue bell tent

Liked: We stayed in one of the glamorous glamping spots Billy Blue. It was perfectly located and very well set up with everything we needed for our holiday. Great location to base our selves in to do regular day trips and access all the beautiful beaches and coves near by. What made our stay even better was the owners of the site, being so welcome and friendly and accommodating.

Primitive grass tent campsite (small)

Liked: Showers were ok Good location

Disliked: The smell of the toilets and the septic tank were horrendous making the toilet block in one field unusable. One of the drinking water taps was right next to the waste from the toilets which is extremely unhygienic given how awful it smelt.

From the manager: Hi Molly I'm very sorry to hear about this problem you incurred whilst staying here. We are surprised as we have not had any other complaints of this nature. Firstly let me assure you that the water stand pipe is fed straight off the mains water supply so nothing to do with the toilet blocks. Yes it is close to the toilet block but guests prefer the services for their camping to be in the same vicinity for ease of use. This is a pop up campsite and therefore we have moveable trailer toilets which are connected to a sealed sewage tank so there shouldn't be any smell arising. However we do have to empty the sewage tanks at times and we try and do this when guests are out for the day to cause the minimum inconvenience but sometimes we will need to do this outside of these times . When this is done there will be a smell but it disappears quickly. In the meantime we will investigate the issue and see if we can do anything to improve things. We are genuinely sorry for the issues you found as all we really want is happy campers who enjoy their stay. Thank you for your feed back.

The peace and quiet very nice stay…
