Thank you Anthony for your review. Yes, lots of space and fantastic views - that's what's camping is all about. See you soon. Happy camping - Richard.

Our stay

We chose this site because it is in the centre of the area that we wanted to visit. We found the site was very clean and also very quiet. It was ideal for our 3 dogs as there was plenty of space between each pitch. The owner was also very helpful.

Peaceful

Peaceful, well maintained campsite. We enjoyed our stay. Owner very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our return trip.

Thank you Alison for your review. Peaceful and outstanding views to Helman Tor which you enjoyed. See you soon. Happy camping - Richard.

Camping in a field

Simple camping within sight of Helman Tor with basic facilities and campfires permitted. Agreeably off the beaten track with good hiking and biking access to Luxulyan Valley and surrounding area. The farm cat was very friendly!

Thank you Dominic for your review. You took full advantage being off the beaten track to enjoy hiking and biking from The Camping Field. MoMo the cat says meow to you. Hope to see you soon. Happy camping - Richard.

Excellent quiet site

Will be adding this to my list of places to stay again. Excellent site, had all we needed for our stay.

Thank you Melissa for your review. You are going to be like many others that are going revisit this peaceful site. Looking forward to seeing you again. Happy camping - Richard.

Simply just a brilliant experience for a brilliant price

My experience with this campsite is awesome and I will be coming back to this site again if I ever stop in Cornwall. Richard is a down to earth, very nice and helpful bloke. He knows the area well and is happy to help you find areas to go and explore. However he isn't "pesky", if that's the way of putting it. He will leave you be and let you enjoy your camp. The campsite itself is very clean and quiet and the grass is well kept. The toilets are dotted all around the site so no million mile walks to the loo. And Richard is always there cleaning and making sure they are clean, which isn't what I can say for other sites I've been on. The showers are hot and clean. The washing up area is great. Richard helped us with a firepit and a crate of firewood for just a fiver, which lasted us the night. And on our last day we weren't rushed out like a production centre. We was greeted and we left happy. 10/10. If you're looking to camp in Cornwall and don't need silly facilities like a resort etc, Richard and The Camping Field is where you want to be.

Thank you Todd for your review. That's what camping is all about, having a good fire and enjoy the beautiful views and gazing upon the stars. See you soon. Happy camping, Richard.

I can't wait to return

This campsite is not only beautiful and perfect, it is hosted by the most gorgeous friendly black cat. The farmer is the best sort of person you could ever wish to meet.

Thank you Julie for your review. You both had a very relaxing time at The Camping Field and MoMo the cat enjoyed your company. See you both soon, happy camping, Richard.

Back to basics

Great site, spotless, grass kept well, really friendly and quiet after ten. Honest review to be given, wasn't expecting portaloos like a festival. Yet, they are dotted around the site, so never far from one. Well stocked hand wash, toilet roll and even air freshener. Plus, they were spotlessly clean. The showers in a converted shed. Yet warm, worked and did the job 👍👍 Would I use it again? Yes I would. Plus, would recommend this site to others. Location is stunning. Downside to site if you're taking a caravan enter from far side. Easier route, if your nervous towing caravan, not for you, full stop. There are some tight spots. Yet that's not the site's fault. Plus, field does drop away so make sure you take blocks with you. Conclusion, advertised as back to basics and they have cornered a market very well. The site is run great and for what's advertised, it's 100 percent right. Thank you for a great stay, I will be back again 👍👍

Thank you Robert for your review. The Camping field is in a SSSI area, which means site of special scientific interest, which protects the wildlife and flora. That's why campers love the peacefulness and the beautiful surroundings of the area. I hope to see you in your caravan next year. Happy camping, Richard.

Best field ever!

What can we say, other than we will be returning again and again and again! The location is beautiful, with 360 views around. It's set in a gorgeous village with the friendliest, most helpful people. The field is the closest you will get to traditional/wild camping with the added bonus of toilets, showers and somewhere to wash your pots. The site is kept incredibly clean, the toilets are checked and cleaned multiple times a day. There ae more than enough toilets, dotted around the site so there are no long waits or walking miles to one. Showers are hot and have power. There is everything you need for basic camping. Richard (the owner) is fantastic. The most welcoming, friendly man who we have had the best laugh with. He has taken the time to show our kids his beautiful ponies and has recommendations and knowledge of things to do. We spoke to other campers who return here year after year and we will be joining the list of returning campers. The only thing we could change is how far away we live to The Camping Field. We would be there again in a heartbeat. We are gutted to be home and miss the site, the ponies and seeing Richard and his white van! Never change, the site is just perfect! See you soon! (The McCartney gang lol)

Site's response

Thank you McCartney gang for being proper campers. I am just speechless, I just enjoy what I am doing. The site is staying as a back to basic campsite. See you all next year for another great holiday. Happy camping, Richard.

Lovely and quiet

A very friendly owner who tries to keep the facilities clean, but the chemical toilets are just not pleasant. Women and men use the same toilets. The showers are more pleasant.

Site's response

Thank you Ines for your review. Glad you enjoyed the peacefulness and lovely views. The toilets are staying as they are, as we are in a SSSI area. Part of planning conditions from the council. I hope to see you again. Happy camping, Richard.

Great time again

Second year staying here. I don't have any complaints. My 10 year old son was building our new BBQ and didn't have any tools. Richard is very approachable and my boy happily went and asked him for tools which, even though he was a bit busy, said he would grab some better ones for him when had done what he needed too and he did. Offered help if I needed it pitching the tent. My hook up stopped working and then worked again and even though I had texted to say was working again, he personally came round to check was all good now. Price is very reasonable. I love hearing the cows in a neighbours field. Hopefully will come back again next year too.

Site's response

Thank you Tanya for your review. I am always happy to help my campers. Your boy did a great job putting the BBQ together. It is just great to see the cows coming in to be milked and the abundance of wildlife. Hope to see you all next year. Happy camping, Richard.

Nice site

Lovely site for basic needs to meet, a short stay. Just a 10 minute drive to the Eden project. Only thing was the narrow bendy lanes to get to the site - towing the caravan was a bit tricky, but we managed.

Site's response

Thank you Gail for your review, I am glad you enjoyed your stay at the Camping Field. Narrow lanes - that's the fun of Cornwall. Happy camping, Richard.

Fantastic

Everything you could ask for in one place! Pets and fires allowed, cleaning facilities and clean toilets! Richard (the owner) was absolutely brilliant and very helpful. Top class.

Site's response

Thank you Phillip for your review. This is what camping all about, having a good fire or back to reality. Hope to see you all soon. Happy camping - Richard.

Quiet and relaxed campsite

Basic campsite, but with everything you need, dogs welcome and fire pits allowed as well. Friendly farmer owner checks everything regularly. Felt very safe and relaxed as two female friends camping for a couple of nights in our campervans.

Thank you Gabby for your review. I am glad you both were totally relaxed and enjoyed what camping is all about. I hope to see you both soon. Happy camping - Richard.

Thank you Claire for your lovely review. See you soon, happy camping, Richard.

A nice reset place, very beautiful

Had 2 brilliant nights here on ehu. Not far from home but I wanted to test our new tent out. Me and my 2 girls really loved it, like a deep breath of fresh air, it really was lovely. Toilets and showers are very clean, the showers are brilliant actually, the land is well kept and the boss is fantastic, such a lovely man. Dogs are welcomed, which is a bonus. We would defo return.

Thank you Nicola for your review. You totally enjoyed this back to basics campsite with good facilities. I hope to see you all soon. Happy camping - Richard.

Fantastic!

Stayed here for a Eden Sessions gig. Simple campsite, just what we wanted. The guy who owns it is a diamond and gave us a lift there. Will definitely stay here again x

Thank you Katherine for your review. I am glad that the campsite gave what you wanted and great value for money. Hope to see you soon, happy camping - Richard.

Chilled out place

Flexibility of self check-in was really helpful. I texted the owner to say I was late due to traffic, and he was fine about it. Lovely views. Good value.

Beautiful countryside, relaxing campsite

A hidden gem. It's just a field in the middle of beautiful Cornwall. Basic facilities which were clean and adequate for your stay. Peaceful and great for small groups and families who want to escape the rat race and just chill.

Site's response

Thank you Lisa for your review. I am glad that you just totally relax and unwind due to the peacefulness which The Camping Field offers. I hope to see you soon. Happy camping - Richard.

Perfect Eden Project base camp

Quiet location, really chilled out. Got to meet Richard, who was lovely and kept on top of cleaning throughout our stay. Great showers!

Site's response

Thank you Emily for your review. I am glad you both had a chilled time at the Camping Field. Hope to see you both soon. Happy camping! Richard.

Enjoyed our stay, a laid back site with a helpful owner and walks from the site

We had a lovely stay with great weather. The field is large and has Tor views. You can walk on The Saints Way from a few yards down the road to the King's Arms pub, dog friendly and good food. It took us about 40 minutes and is a nice walk. We also walked the Luxulyan Valley, as recommended by the owner. A beautiful wooded valley with a river, leats, wild flowers, a viaduct and lots of interesting history and old workings from the China clay industry. We also visited Menacuddle Well, which is only small but a beautiful place for a picnic. You can drive there or walk from the St Austell clay cycle/walking trail, which is about 8 miles away. The toilets are portaloos but very clean and there are clean showers and an area to wash up. We had the bottom of the field to ourselves and had a very chilled weekend, as did the dogs. We even saw the Northern Lights! There is no traffic noise or light pollution and no other facilities, which is the sort of camping we like, but it is near to many places to visit. The roads approaching are very narrow (and pretty) but we did not meet any other traffic. We will visit again to explore more of the area.

Thank you Janet for your lovely feedback. You both totally enjoyed the Camping field and the beautiful walks from site Hope to see you both soon. Happy camping, Richard.

Tranquil

This is not a 5 star site. With basic showers and wash up facilities, this site offers peace, tranquillity and total relaxation...and that is exactly what I got! A very friendly and approachable site owner.

Thank you Karen for your review. I am glad that you have recharged your batteries and enjoyed the campsite again. I'll see you in June. Happy camping, Richard.
