About Boskenwyn Manor

Park up your tourer and enjoy off grid camping amongst the tranquil scenery surrounding you here. Camping at the site is refreshingly simple, and the public footpaths and bridleways surrounding the site are ideal for exploring this beautiful area. There are a total of six pitches, all on grass and well-spaced out - comparably quiet to the larger and more commercial camping grounds. Suitable for tents, caravans and motorhomes, you'll have the opportunity to sit back and listen to the birds singing or the whistle of the breeze whilst taking in the view that surrounds you. Outdoor space for games and activities for all the family to enjoy. Pets welcome.

Boskenwyn Manor is open from 01/04 to 29/09.

A note from the site themselves...

I love the this site as its very personal to me. I have set up the site on my family farm which I have lived on most of my life. I am the 4th generation on the farm and I like to find innovative ways of progressing it further.

Its also special to me as its been many hours hard work in getting it to where it is today. The self build project in the 'Shepherd's Hut' is my first self build project and I am filled with pride with kind comments about it and how it benefits so many peoples holiday experience in Cornwall. I am prevelliged to host such great people and I am so thankful for their support. I love meeting you all and hearing everyones different ways of life.

This small slice of Cornish countryside is a far cry from the busy, small pitched, commerical sites and I love the way its small size has a big impact on everyones kind comments and thoughts of the site.
