Boscoppa Farm
View prices & book
- Peaceful but convenient Cornwall farm site just outside St Austell
- Eden Project and two sandy beaches within 10 minutes' drive
- Family-run site with sea views over Carlyon Bay
If it’s a toss-up between sea views and proximity to popular attractions as the most important consideration for your Cornwall holiday location, you can put the coin down right now.
On a hillside at the top of a family farm just outside St Austell, Boscoppa Farm Glamping and Camping has fabulous views out over Carlyon Bay, and it’s a mere 10 minutes’ drive from the Eden Project, Cornwall’s most-visited attraction.
Those two things alone may well be enough to entice you, but there’s more… as this mid-Cornwall site is also handily close to both the A390 and A391 for easy outings to other favourite attractions including the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Bodmin Jail Attraction and fishing villages like Fowey and Mevagissey. You’re never too far from a beach in Cornwall either – and in this case there are a couple of lovely sandy stretches (at Porthpean and Carlyon) about 10 minutes’ drive away.
Staying just outside St Austell is a clever move, too, putting you within easy reach of shops, places to eat and other amenities. The nearest food shops and supermarkets are about five minutes’ drive away, and you can get to the town centre in 10 minutes.
Even with all this convenience, the site itself maintains a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of space to soak up the sea views. Dogs and kids are welcome, and you’ll be allowed to set up a barbecue for your outdoor meals if you like.

Local attractions
So, to the Eden Project (10 minutes’ drive) to start with? It’s a fine choice – this is Cornwall’s most popular visitor attraction for a reason. The indoor and outdoor gardens are packed with plant species from around the world, and the attraction also has an imaginative play area, an adventure park and an events space that stages major musical events.
Plant enthusiasts should also add several other local attractions to their list, including Tregrehan Garden (10 minutes’ drive) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (20 minutes) – or perhaps a tour of Camel Valley vineyard (half an hour). Meanwhile, for more outdoor activity, try a game at Cornwall Football Golf Park (five minutes).
Dipping into the area’s heritage might take you to Wheal Martyn Clay Works, the Shipwreck Treasure Museum (both 10 minutes) or the Bodmin Jail Attraction (25 minutes). The fishing villages of Mevagissey (20 minutes) and Fowey (25 minutes) are both good places to get a sense of times gone by as well.
