Bush Farm Wild Camping offers a refreshingly laid-back slice of Cornish countryside, where the vibe is all about escaping the usual regimented pitches and embracing a sense of real adventure. Spread across 200 acres, this is wild camping at its most authentic—pitch up wherever you fancy, whether tucked under ancient trees or beside a burbling river, and make your own space. It’s dog-friendly, so your four-legged pals are welcome to romp around, and with firepits dotted about (plus recycled firewood available), evenings are made for gathering round, swapping stories, and maybe toasting a marshmallow or two as the sun dips. Facilities are simple but practical, with six toilets and hot showers to keep things comfortable without spoiling the wild feel. If you’ve ever dreamt of waking up to birdsong, the scent of woodsmoke, and the freedom to roam, this is the spot for you.

Outside the tent, this pocket of Cornwall is ripe for exploration. The farm’s vast space invites lazy wanders through meadows and woodlands, or you can follow the river for a wild swim in summer. Venture a bit further and there are countless coastal paths and hidden coves within easy reach—perfect for bracing walks with Atlantic views or the occasional dip if you’re feeling brave. Local villages offer cosy pubs and fresh local produce, while classic Cornish attractions, from shipwreck museums to clifftop castles, are a short drive away. With so much wild beauty on your doorstep, you’ll find it easy to fill your days, whether you’re after gentle strolls, lively beach days, or simply finding a quiet spot to watch the world go by.
