About Stay Wild Cornwall

Acres of space await at this family and dog friendly campsite, ideally located just a 20 minute drive from some of South Cornwall's best beaches including Praa Sands. There are three pitches which are all a combination of grass and hardstanding, fondly named Buzzard's Landing, Medlyn Meadows and Bramble Brook. Each of these has 16 amp electric hook up and caters for tents and camper vans, sorry the site is not currently set up for touring caravans or motorhomes. Each pitch is three acres and allows a maximum occupancy of 15. All of the pitches have ensuite facilities, each offering something different, including underfloor heating, toilets, wash basins, heated towel rails, hot showers and a roll top bath. Hand towels, bath mats, hand soap and hair dryers are also provided. For those who prefer glamping, try out the 1970s retro American trailer is a great choice for up to two people in a double bed. Inside you'll find a sofa, TV, kitchen with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge freezer, kettle and a toaster. There's also an ensuite shower with a toilet and outside is your own roll top bath. There is also a geodome onsite for another glamping option. Inside there is a double bed, seating, smart TV and Bluetooth speaker. To soak in the great views there is an outdoor decking area with seating and a fire pit and BBQ. There is also a private facility hut with a roll top bath, WC and shower, as well as a separate private kitchen area. You'll be immersed in nature with fantastic views stretching out over the countryside, so be sure to keep an eye out for local wildlife including deer and rare glimpses of the local snowy owl! Dogs are permitted only on Buzzard's Landing and Medlyn Meadows. Up to two are allowed per pitch and please keep them on the lead. Campfires are permitted in the allocated areas only.

Stay Wild Cornwall is open all year round.

A note from the site themselves...

With a love of camping and campervans, it was our dream to leave Bristol and move to the countryside and start a campsite. After living in Cornwall now since 2017, we have tried to create something a bit different and unique!

Come and share our happy place and experience the abundance of insects, birds and wildlife and a beautiful array of plants, trees and wildflowers all around. We're big fans of the wildlife here and love to hear about any sightings fellow campers might have.

Book a Meet and Greet session for some of the animals we have here, including chickens, bee's and a herd of alpacas.

Make memories here and treat yourself to some downtime, but don't compromise on the facilities you deserve. We hope to see you in a field somewhere x

Glamping Dome - Geodome (Sunset Ridge)May 2024

We have had the best weekend here. The facilities were second to none, the hosts have paid attention to every detail to make sure you want for nothing and that everything is prepared for a smooth and luxurious weekend. Can't wait to go back, thanks Stay Wild.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Pitch (Buzzard's Landing)Nov 2023

Spending 4 nights at this campsite was an absolute joy. The location is quiet and a real chance to 'get away'. The pitches are lovely and spacious and I can't find the words to describe that 'roll top' bath! It is one thing to provide a bath like that but to actually make the environment you bath in comfortable and warm and to make sure that there is actually enough hot water to allow for a luxurious bath - that is a whole other thing. All that was provided. Run that bath, grab a book and a drink and go and indulge yourself. Great if your muscles are aching after the coastal path or you are soaking wet because your waterproofs let you down! Whilst we are in the bathroom - the loo never let us down! I do love to have the pleasure of a flushing loo. It was great to have a fridge freezer in the shed at the back and good sinks to wash up in. Even the fact we had our own big bins next to the washing up area was an asset. Plenty of space to walk the dogs - who were welcomed at the site. Down by the river it is as though you have had mufflers put over your ears - so quiet and peaceful. Logs a plenty to set up a roaring fire and allow for a lovely evening by the fire chatting. Tim and Clare are really helpful. We had one small issue and Tim leapt into action rapidly and took a look. SO all in all- we had a great stay and it's worth a visit. I would hedge a bet you will return again.

Camping with that twist of luxury

Glamping - Avion TrailerJul 2023

Great holiday in Kernow, the Avion caravan is well equipped, clean, comfy and spacious. The bath outside with piping hot water is a real treat and you get lovely Cornish country and heritage views whilst bathing. Great, rural, quiet location with your own field. Very good for accessing any where in Cornwall or just local walks. It's is simply a break that sets new standards in holidaying. Definitely highly recommended and we will be going back.
