If you like the wild camping, this site is for you. We enjoyed the wildness and got lucky with a nice view. The toilet was clean, unfortunately only 1. But the owner said he will add another very soon, which will be beneficial. No showers, just access to tap with drinking water. However, we managed to get a shower after boiling the water and adding to 5 litter can, which was a fun, Definitely good stay for 1-2 nights..

Owner was really helpful and chilled from the start. A unique area with secluded areas to camp in. Great views within a few minutes walk. Not all pitches were flat, wild camping - levelers recommended. Perfect for events at Mount Edgcumbe or to be close to Plymouth. Toilets - sawdust - perfectly acceptable, with toilet roll, anti-bac and a light! Everyone was friendly and quite local. Will return for sure & recommend for a quirky stay in the best way!

Lovely little place!! Amazing art work!! Very basic, with a tap and composting toilet, but all very clean and well looked after.. Such a peaceful place to chill for the weekend, thoroughly enjoyed.. The owner was incredibly kind, I was travelling by bus and ferry so travelling as light as possible and couldn't take a fire pit.. The owner allowed me the use of his for the entire weekend.. Will definitely be back!!

What a beautiful hidden gem. Probably not the best idea to tell the world about it, but....... it is a cracking, quiet little campsite. It's basic, but what more do you need than the river Tamar hugging the shore next to your tent in the mornings. I only live the other side of the river in Plymouth, but it feels miles away from home in the heart of the Cornish countryside. We normally go to Maker Camp further up the hill, but I think I have a new favourite campsite.

Just back from a 2 night stay at Camp Bedrock. Perfect location for access to Mount Edgecombe. Short walk to the Mount Edgecombe Arms. Nice clean and tidy campsite. Peaceful location over looking the water. Use of a drop toilet and has a water tap. Will definitely recommend to friends and visit again.
