Details checked 28 August 2026 Β· source: Google Places A campsite near St Ives ## About Rock Bottom Orchard Perhaps you're craving feel-good coastal walks or beaches with super surf and golden sand? Evenings around a firepit or tucking into freshly-sizzled sausages over a barbecue? That's the sort of stuff Rock Bottom Orchard opens you up to – as well as splendid, relaxing views over sloping fields. This peaceful, adults-only Cornwall site sits just four miles from St Ives, and if you fancy it, you can walk all the way down to the South West Coast Path and Hayle Sands in just under an hour. It's adjacent to the St Michael's Way, a popular coast-to-coast trail, and cyclists have easy pedals to the Hayle Estuary (25 minutes), The Towans beaches (40 minutes) or St Ives itself (25 minutes). Motorhomes, motorcyclists and roof tents all welcome. The site loans firepits and charcoal for barbecues, with big supermarkets in Hayle 10 minutes' drive away. Facilities include hot showers, toilets and a washing-up area. Some guests note the site can feel a touch tired in places, but the location and tranquillity more than compensate. ## Good to know ### Accessibility - βœ“Accessible parking - βœ“Accessible entrance Details via Google β€” worth confirming with the site before you travel, especially for access needs. ## Can I bring...? β›Ί Tent pitches βœ“ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome βœ• No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome βœ“ Yes ✨ Glamping available βœ“ Yes πŸ›– Lodges & statics βœ“ Yes ## Pitch types - β€’ Non-electric grass tent pitch (motorcyclist, no cars) - β€’ Non-electric grass tent pitch (small) - β€’ Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium) - β€’ Roof tent non-electric grass pitch - β€’ Non-electric grass motorhome pitch Pitch details as listed by the booking provider β€” availability and exact pricing shown at checkout. ## Lodges & pods - πŸ›– Shepherd's hut ## Hook-up ⚑ Electric hook-up βœ• πŸ”Œ EV charging βœ• No electric hook-up listed β€” worth confirming directly if you're bringing a caravan or motorhome. ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers βœ“ πŸ“Ά Free WiFi βœ• 🏊 Swimming pool βœ• πŸ›’ Onsite shop βœ• 🎠 Children's play area βœ• πŸ– BBQs allowed βœ• πŸ”₯ Campfires allowed βœ• 🧺 Laundry βœ• 🎣 Fishing βœ• πŸ› Hot tub βœ• β™Ώ Accessible facilities βœ• πŸ…ΏοΈ Hardstanding pitches βœ• 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site βœ• πŸ§’ Good for children βœ“ 🚻 Toilets on site βœ“ Shower available Toilet block Washing-up area Motorcycle friendly Adults only Barbecue provided No dogs allowed No pets allowed Peaceful Spectacular scenery Walkers' paradise Nearby farmers' market Public transport nearby Shop nearby Medium (26-50 pitches) Fishing nearby ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking β€” here's what delivers near this site. ### πŸ₯‘ Just Eat β€” 7 takeaways deliver to this postcode (TR27 6NX) Domino's - Hayle β˜… 5.0 Β· Pizza, Chicken Deano's Kebab House β˜… 5.0 Β· Kebab, Pizza Amity Tandoori β˜… 5.0 Β· Indian, Asian Eastern Empire β˜… 5.0 Β· Chinese, Asian PROPER PIZZA KEBAB β˜… 4.5 Β· Pizza, Kebab Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Tesco, St Ives 1.9 miles - Co-op, St Ives 1.9 miles - Morrisons, Penzance 3.9 miles - Sainsbury's, Penzance 3.9 miles - Asda, Hayle 3.9 miles - Lidl, Hayle 5 miles - Aldi, Camborne 9.5 miles Straight-line distances β€” the drive will be longer.

The fields and facilities are well kept, with nice views. A good hedge sheltered us from the winds. Despite our early departure, the owner came out to arrange payment. Thank you for being so flexible. Β· via Google Bloem van Broeckhuijsen β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Beautiful camping ground with basic necessities. Showers and toilets nice and clean! Bad internet service, but this is the same for the town as well… And difficult options for charging appliances (phone etc). Nice owner! Β· via Google innocences23 β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Ross is the perfect host on the site he owns and runs. All facilities are available for a perfect camping stay and he is reasonably priced. I would happily recommend this site to all and would most definitely return. We stayed for a week on the first of 2 available fields. We were close to the facilities at all times and the site was quite enough to sleep peacefully. Β· via Google Chloe Perks β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Friendly welcome from site owner Russell. He gave us a quick brief of where & what facilities & told us to pick anywhere to pitch next to the hedge around the perimeter (two fields to pick from). The first field appeared to be the busier field with the larger families (assuming as nearer site facilities) so we stayed on the second field & was able to get a really peaceful nights kip! Really peaceful location but wouldn’t recommend walking into St Ives at roads are narrow so can be dangerous for pedestrians. However, there is a bus stop almost outside the campsite that will take you straight into St Ives town for only Β£2 per adult. Toilet and shower facilities are lovely & clean. The showers are AMAZING. Everything clearly labelled so easy to use. Would recommend to friends/family and stay here again.
