  • 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

A chilled, neat park with loads of space. Guests loved the friendly hosts, spotless loos and showers, and decent WiFi. Optional breakfast bakes and pizza evenings were a hit. Great base for Cornwall sights, close to Bodmin. A few noted a play area would be nice, and sometimes a wait for facilities in busy season.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Like the convenience of the site, good base to explore both coasts, Eden Project, Pencarrow House etc. Site felt just the right size, not too big but with kitchen, and bathroom pods and heating so cosy for showers. Owners lovely and offered coffee, pastries that could be bought each morning. Would definitely visit again.

Disliked Coming home in the rain…..

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked This is a lovely site. Located just outside Bodmin, sheltered by trees. The site is well laid out, and the pitches are good sized.
The bathrooms were clean and well presented.
The breakfast offerings were great, however, we sadly missed the pizza nights.
We chose the site as a base for visiting different attractions in Cornwall. The site was easily accessed from all directions, and served as a great base.
Although there is no shop on site, there are local shops nearby (15 mins walk), and supermarkets 10 minutes away.
There are no children's facilities on site, but there was plenty of green space for the kids to run around and play in, as well as meet children from elsewhere in the country.
The WiFi was efficient.
Overall, a great site, with lovely hosts who were regularly around and helpful.

Disliked Nothing.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely site in a nice area with clean facilities. The fresh coffee and pastries in the morning were amazing and at great prices.

Disliked Bathrooms all had a toilet and shower inside so when multiple people were showering you had to queue for the loo. Sadly we had really noisy neighbours that clearly hadn’t read anything about the campsite beforehand. A reminder of the quiet hours upon arrival may have prevented this.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely little campsite. Very welcoming & quiet. Coffee croissants etc available each morning great touch. Would come back but will bring bikes next time.

Disliked Very small pitches ( well the smallest we’ve experienced) very close to neighbours! Not in easy walking distance of much & steep hills each side.

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.
