In the whole site there are:

Firewood
We run a coppice and woodland management business from different sites in Cornwall during the winter months and that allows us to provide a 1 bag of wood for campers for free at arrival.
However if you need more wood you will be able to buy it from us or feel free to bring your own.
If you will be in need of extra wood at any point of your stay, we will offer firewood at a rate of £10.00 for a bag delivered at your tent.
Fire Procedure:
It is possible to light fires and a fire pit will be prepared before your arrival in your pitch.
Please if having fires or using cooking equipment, be aware of fire dangers and possible carbon monoxide poisoning. Use BBQ’s and cookers outside your tent only and make sure your tent is pitched at a suitable distance from the fire pit and also be aware of high winds blowing sparks onto tents. Ensure the fire is put out before going to bed.
In case of emergencies there are emergency fire buckets of sand and water available.
Wild Nature
Lots of native tree species have been planted on site, wild flowers and plants, which arrive in early Spring attract butterflies and rare invertebrates. There is an heritage garden adjacent to the pitches that is the cradle for lots of wild life, and a big pond is the home for wild birds as ducks and moor hens. The variety of birdlife in the area is unparalleled with coastal and inland birds, and many rare species stopping off on migratory routes to and from Europe. Particularly worth looking out for the Barn Owl, which flies around the fields at dusk!
Workshops
Wild camping will also run different workshops that you and your family can take part in! So please ask us what’s on and we will be pleased to fill you in.We have bushcraft, green woodwork, growing woodfuel, archery, beading, embroidery and wild art classes running during the summer and we are happy to offer one to one workshops as well. All the workshops need to be booked in advanced so please get in touch.
