  • Small dog-friendly site surrounded by the Cornwall countryside
  • A 15-minute drive from the beach; 10 minutes from Tehidy Woods
  • Free-range eggs available; pub nearby; small kitchen area on site
Raise a toast to the Cornwall countryside at Bowling Green Farm Campsite… whether it’s beer and sausages over sunset, a feelgood firepit evening or frying up some free-range eggs for breakfast, this small, family-run site just outside Carn Brea makes a breezy little base for all sorts of outdoor antics. Five minutes’ drive away from Rudruth, it’s in an area where chimney stacks act as a reminder of Cornwall’s mining heritage and farmland makes for rather sublime scenery. Stay here and you’ll be planting down in a large field that's got plenty of handy comforts. When you haven’t got a firepit alight, you can knock up meals or snacks at a small kitchen area that's got a washing-up area, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster. You’ll be able to get your paws on free-range eggs here; for your other familiar foods, there are supermarkets and shops a short drive down the hill. The site is a five-minute walk away from a dog-friendly pub with a reputation for its real ale selection and food. As for rules on site, noise should be kept to a minimum after 10pm and dogs kept on leads and cleaned up after. Barbecues should also be propped up using a brick from the stack by the bins, and ashes safely disposed of in the metal bin provided. If you do have a canine companion, it's handy to note there are dog walks a short stroll away – or there’s the daring Great Flat Lode, a 12-kilometre trek that circles Carn Brea, 10 minutes’ walk away.

What customers say

Peaceful, well-kept farm site with spotless ablutions & kitchen. Guests rave about spacious pitches, lovely views, and friendly owners. Farm produce available. Great for exploring Cornwall. Highly recommended for a chill stay, many want to return. Note: some electric pitches are a bit close.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a gem this campsite was! A beautiful little site, with really friendly owners. The pitches are really well kept and a good size. The showers, toilets and kitchen area were absolutely spotless, and the addition of having a kettle, toaster and microwave to use if needed was handy. The location was just brilliant, with a selection of supermarkets within a ten minute drive, lovely pub 5 minutes away, but still surrounded by the gorgeous Cornish countryside. We loved listening to all the ducks, chickens etc. Good selection of free range eggs from the farm, to purchase. We found the map in the kitchen area really helpful, as it detailed all the beaches, with info like whether there are dog restrictions, food facilities etc. Can’t wait to book again soon!

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the sound of chicken, ducks and mooing of cows especially in the morning.
There was fresh eggs and few veges available to buy.
The family who runs the place are very nice.
Clean and comfortable facilities (they check shower and toilets very often). I felt sad i forgot to take a picture of it.
Would love to come back again.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely friendly site with great countryside views. Booked EHU and was allocated pitch 6 which is massive! 2 indoor full bathrooms with good showers. 2 separate toilets. Use of microwave toaster and kettle which was a handy alternative to camp cooking.
Fresh farm eggs and some veg available which was lovely. Great alternative gift to take home instead of fudge!
Fantastic country pub around the corner with live acts every night. Really friendly welcoming staff.
Short 10 minute walk to mines and only 30 minute walk to the top of Bassett monument with great views over west Cornwall
Not a negative as such but suggestion that they try to provide an area for grey waster drainage for campervans.

Route directions

If approaching from Redruth through the village of Carnkie, don't turn right up Carn Brea Lane. Instead, continue out of the village and take the next turning on the right behind the large sign saying 'Welcome to Piece'. The entrance to the campsite is almost immediately on the right. If approaching from Pool/Camborne, turn left at the Countryman pub and then take the next left into Bowling Green. Again, the entrance to the site is on the right-hand side.

Local attractions

A proud beach bum or just fond of some sand-based activities? The waves at the large,sandy Portreath beach (15 minutes’ drive) are a magnet for surfing, while dog-friendly The Towans has sand dunes that are well suited to an easygoing walk or perhaps some sandcastle construction. Tehidy Woods (10 minutes) is another place to get your dog's exercise in. Meanwhile, at Land's End Landmark Attraction (50 minutes) you can swap forest trails for clifftop paths (and some bargain-hunting in the shopping village). Add a little tropical flavour to your stay… the rainforest biomes at Eden Project (55 minutes) are the type of place where you’ll want to get lost on purpose. Another of these lose-yourself-worthy gardens is The Lost Gardens of Heligan (55 minutes), with over 200 acres to look around. Meanwhile, Pendennis Castle (half an hour) will take you back to Tudor times with its weaponry, keep and fortress.
