  • A country escape 30 minutes’ walk from the centre of Bodmin
  • A 20-minute drive from the Eden Project; 35 mins from Truro
  • Individual luxury shower rooms; on-site shop and bakery
Cornwall may be famed for its savoury pasties, but you can expect an altogether sweeter treat when you stay at Orchard Springs Campsite. The two-acre site is on the outskirts of the town of Bodmin, but green fields and an orchard and stream give it a country escape feel. The centre of Bodmin is less than two miles from Orchard Springs, and Bodmin Jail, Cornwall’s Regimental Museum, the Bodmin Town Museum and Bodmin’s Obelisk are all within 35 minutes’ walk of the site. Bodmin also has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants where you can pick up souvenirs and supplies, scull some local brews or have a taste of Cornish cuisine. If you’re not feeling up to the trip into Bodmin, an on-site shop in the reception hut has the basics you’ll need, as well as some Orchard Springs home-baked bread and pastries. A campers’ kitchen with microwave, fridge freezer and ice blocks is also available for guests’ use. A toilet block built by local craftspeople rounds out facilities, with individual shower rooms giving you a little extra privacy during your stay. Orchard Springs Campsite opened in 2018: its owners spent the 10 years before that running another successful site in the region.

What customers say

Small, quiet, well-kept park with friendly owners. Spotless individual wet rooms. Great base for Bodmin & surrounds. Peaceful, spacious pitches, plus tasty pastries & pizza nights. Minor issues: shower button timing, occasional queues.

Liked Very quiet when we stayed. The shower/ wet rooms were great and really clean.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. In the high season you would probably have to queue for shower/ toilet

Chris D.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Generous sized pitches with hard standing and a large grassed area aswell. Extremely peaceful, coffee and tea in the season. Showers are all in separate cabins with each one having a toilet and sink. Very very well priced for such a large pitch and electric hook up. Shopping facilities only a 2 minute drive away and maybe a 15 minute stroll.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Clean and tidy. Warm water was nice as visited in very cold weather, so shower was pleasantly warm. Liked that the toilet, sink and shower in one room, so felt private for getting ready.

Disliked having to press a button to keep shower going, had to press it every 10 seconds!
Not meeting anyone that worked at sight, would've been nice to introduce themselves. Can't give any stars for customer service as there wasn't any.
Only found WIFI password as we left as no one told us where to look for it

A nice site which when clean would be lovely.

Ruth S.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Bodmin is so centrally located it's great, north to Port Isaac one day, south to Polperro another and all the walking right on the door step. The campsite itself was well spaced. There were a reasonable amount of people coming and going considering it was Christmas but we didn't feel overlooked or cramped at all. The site is slopping but the pitches were level enough. In our camper we managed without wedges, it wasn't uncomfortable. The individual shower rooms are a great idea.

Disliked In three nights we saw no staff. Which from a customer service point of view isn't great. It's manageable as long as nothing goes wrong and I get it there's no need to have someone on site all the time, wandering around, it's not a big site. But this extended to not seeing anyone clean either and that was awful. The lovely shower rooms were filthy and the bins in them untouched. I would also be concerned that if the site was full in summer, the wait for a toilet would be mental. It's also quite hard to tell if there are people in the shower rooms, not all the locked showed as engaged and some of the doors were heavy and sticky so I could imagine a queue forming when some of the rooms are actually vacant.
I wasn't really expecting to be able to buy a coffee or order bread out of season but nowhere actually said when it was open.

Local attractions

Fans of the BBC’s Poldark will recognise some of the place names in the area around Orchard Springs: the towns of Bodmin and Truro are close by, with Bodmin a short walk from the site and Truro a 35-minute drive. Poldark is synonymous with lingering shots of the Cornish moors, and tours can take you to some of the coves and mines that bring the show to life. This area of Cornwall has a lot more to it than filming locations. The Eden Project, a 20-minute drive away, is a top spot to get up close with nature in the outdoor gardens and tropical and Mediterranean biomes or, if you’re feeling brave, have a go on England’s longest zipwire. The Eden Project looks to the future, but if you’d prefer to dig around in the past there are plenty of historic sites close by. Get a feel for Victorian life at Lanhydrock House and Gardens, a 15-minute drive from Orchard Springs; a look at the Elizabethan era at Prideaux Place, 30 minutes away, or head back to Georgian times at Pencarrow, 10 minutes from the site. If the zip wire at the Eden Project got you geared up for a more active break, you can cycle or walk the Camel Trail – which passes through Bodmin on its way towards the fishing port of Padstow on the northern Cornish coast – or take to the seas at one of the highly-rated surfing beaches nearby.
