## Overview

Get back to nature at Pleasant Streams Farm Camping. We offer peaceful and rustic camping in lovely rural surroundings with basic facilities and low prices. We are open only during August.

At our small and friendly site you can experience ‘real camping’ with plenty of space, real campfires, pretty fields, shallow streams, small lakes with rowing boats and an abundance of wildlife. Our site is very relaxed; we don’t have set pitches so you can pitch your tent where you choose in our camping fields. We welcome families, groups and couples, anyone looking for a countryside retreat. Children especially love to explore our site, wading in the stream in wellies, rowing around the lake, looking for the farm animals or hunting for the hidden rope swings. 

We have five luxury bell tents, Rose, The Lilly Pad, Billy Blue, Willow and Cherry Blossom. They are perfect for families looking for a glamping option.

We are tucked away in the countryside in mid Cornwall, a great base to explore the beautiful Cornish coast and attractions from. Our location is very quiet and peaceful, yet we are close to a village and town. The nearest beach is only a 10-minute drive and we’re at the gateway to the beautiful Roseland peninsular with more stunning beaches and pretty villages to explore. 

There’s always animals to meet at our farm, on our site you can see wild geese, owls, hawks, buzzards, herons, jays, rabbits, foxes, badgers, field mice, trout in the stream. Or you can meet our friendly animals, our miniature goats Matilda, Bluebell and Rose, our pigs Rodney and Del Boy and our Chickens and Ducks. We sell the Duck and Chicken eggs for your breakfast as well as a selection of home grown plants.

Our ethos is simple and natural. Therefore we have no clubhouse or constant traffic noise and we are a real escape from everyday pressures.

We offer simple shower and toilet facilities and plenty of space to enjoy your holiday.

Unfortunately no pets are allowed. Campfires are permitted, in a limited amount of designated fire rings which are first come first served and sacks of logs are available for purchase. 

Please note we do not have a designated washing up area but you are welcome to take water back to your tent, so we recommend you bring a washing up bowl. 

Please note we do not have set pitches, so you book per tent size. 

Please be honest with your tent size and any extras (including booking a pitch space for any gazebos and tarps) as difference will be charged for upon arrival.

> Very spacious, quiet, well maintained campsite. The bell tent was very well equipped and the outside kitchen covered with a tarp was very convenient. Everyday frozen cooling elements are provided for the cool box. Great service! Lesley and Tony were super friendly and helpful. The kids had lots of fun playing and could wander on their own around the campsite. Can recommend staying here!

> A fantastic campsite that is in the perfect location to explore some brilliant highlights of Cornwall. The site is spacious and yet private. Isn’t overwhelmed with pitches and has lakes that add a little something different to explore. The kids were safely able to go play and explore, finding delights such as the hidden tree house, horses, chickens and other animals. Nowhere was off limits on the site, owners were lovely and willing to chat to the kids about the horses etc. Amenities were brilliant, especially the hot showers!
