Cornish camping with sea views, 5 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from the Eden Project

Tremanor Farm’s elevated, slightly sloping, south-facing field provides stunning views across St. Austell Bay, in an ideally located Cornish campsite with spacious pitches. Pop up a tent or pull up your motorhome and find your spot on the grass, before exploring the coast and some of Cornwall’s top attractions: You’re a five-minute drive from the beach in beautiful Fowey, a stone's throw from the Iron Age hill fort of Castle Dore, and around 10 minutes by car from the world-famous Eden Project.

This pop-up site is back to basics, though equipped with good quality, essential facilities. There’s no electricity – so bring your power packs and torches – but there’s a clean and well-maintained toilet and shower block, along with standpipes dotted around supplying drinking water. Breakfast and lunch can also be handily supplied by the on-site food truck, letting you tuck into fresh sandwiches or bacon baps. And it wouldn’t be a camping holiday without a fire – bring your own firepit or toast marshmallows around the communal one.

You won't struggle for things to do in Cornwall and Tremanor Farm's position next to the coast ensures you can easily explore the best of it. Fowey's ancient port and pastel houses look beamed in from a bygone era. The picturesque town is also home to the gorgeous Readymoney Cove – a secluded sandy beach sheltered by dramatic, tree-lined cliffs. You may recognise the name of the town due to its association with author Kenneth Grahame, who penned The Wind in the Willows after being inspired by the River Fowey, which runs alongside the town and into the sea ahead of the cove. Given the scenery, your imagination is certain to be piqued here, too

With some seriously gorgeous panoramas over St Austell Bay to Fowey, Tremanor Farm camping park is on a south-facing field with a gentle slope. This peaceful, pop-up site on a working Cornwall farm may have a wild-camping vibe but it comes with a number of facilities along with those amazing sea views. Amenities include separate loo blocks showers, a washing-up area and plenty of stand pipes with drinking water throughout the field. There’s loads of extra parking too if needs be – but please note, this site has no electricity, so come prepared with torches and a supply of batteries.

The Farm has a 10/10 score on location for things to do and see. The ancient Castle Dore settlement, is a short walk from the Farm. The riverside village of Golant, which inspired the Wind In The Willows books, is a long stroll or short 1 mile drive away. There is a bus stop just opposite the site, with a buses route that can take you to Fowey, Par, St Austell and Mevagissy. Also the growing in popularity Bar Silo, is less than a mile walk away. The Antique centre of Cornwall, the village of Lostwithiel just 5 miles away, and the quaint village of Tywardreath, which is the Cornish name for “House on the Strand” being the name sake of the famous book by local writer Daphne Du Maurier. All this and more, with the famous Eden Project 6 miles away, and Tall ships at Charlestown 7 miles away. For those adrenaline fans, Woody's Bike Track, you can see from the campsite. The site is owned by a Cornish couple who have accumulated masses of local knowledge, so if you’re after handy tips on how to spend your time in the west country, please just ask away.
Nearby attractions

Castle Dore is a 20-minute walk from the farm, an ancient settlement dating all the way back to the 5th century BC. This hill fort has been the subject of intense investigation over the years due to its historical significance, and makes for a dramatic-looking place of interest. The Eden Project is a must-visit while in the area, two huge adjoining biomes simulating both a rainforest and Mediterranean environment, with thousands of different plant species housed inside. An excellent day out for the family, not only do its biomes provide an educational experience for the little ones, but there's also a zip wire and adventure activities to enjoy. Fowey's only a five-minute drive, a seaside and port town with your local pubs, restaurants, and beach. Then there's the antiques capital of Cornwall, Lostwithiel, an ancient 12th-century town known as a hidden treasure around these parts, with regular markets and vintage fairs.

When to go

The Rashleigh Inn in Polkerris is a beachside country pub and restaurant that used to be a Coastguard watch house and boat house. It's only a five-minute drive from the site, with its unique location providing an outdoor terrace overlooking the sea, and a hearty menu for evening and lunchtime dining. There are a number of good places to eat and drink in Fowey – try The Dwelling House, a unique townhouse with an old tearoom vibe that serves up an eclectic menu, ranging from an afternoon cream tea to a Thai fish curry and a number of cakes. For some proper seafood, head over to Captain Hank's Crab and Snack Shack located right along the River Fowey, where you can enjoy fresh Cornish crab all served from out of a converted vintage Citreon van.
