Bell tent pitched at sunset in St Just wild campsite
The Experience

Wild & Simple

Real, earthy, soul-filling camping on the edge of West Penwith.

How It All Began

We started in 2021 with one simple dream: to share this jaw-dropping corner of West Cornwall with fellow wild souls.

Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), right on the South West Coast Path, we’re minutes from Cape Cornwall and surrounded by cliffs that plunge into the Atlantic. No light pollution, no crowds — just raw, honest nature doing its thing.

This isn’t glamping. This is real, earthy, soul-filling wild camping in St Just.

Simple, Green & Honest

We provide the eco-facilities, nature provides the luxury.

Compost Loos

Two eco-friendly, odour-free compost toilets. Clean, green, and surprisingly lovely.

The Cold Shower

An invigorating rinse under the Cornish sky. It's cold, it's wild, and it's the best wake-up call.

Wash Station

A sheltered spot with fresh water to scrub your pots, pans, and sandy feet.

Please bring your own drinking water – we keep it wild!

Our Winter Guests

Every summer we open our gates. Every winter the field becomes VIP pasture for local cows.

From October to June, the field belongs to a herd of very happy local cows. They graze, fertilise, and keep the grass short and lush — ready for your tent when we reopen. It’s the most natural lawnmower service in Cornwall.

They’re very photogenic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about wild camping at Sunset Farm.

You can check availability and request a spot using our online enquiry form on the home page. Tell us your rough dates, party size, and what you're pitching (tent, campervan, etc.). We'll get back to you within 24 hours to confirm availability and payment details.
We keep it simple, green, and honest: two eco-friendly compost toilets, an outdoor cold shower (very refreshing after a coast path walk!), and a sheltered washing-up station with fresh water. Please note there is no mains electricity, chemical waste disposal point, or hot water on site.
We recommend bringing your own drinking water. We have fresh water at the wash station for washing up and cooking, but it is not certified mains drinking water.
Yes, absolutely! We are a dog-friendly campsite and dogs are welcome to explore. We just ask that they are kept under immediate voice control at all times, and remain on a leash when walking near the livestock in our farm boundaries.
Yes, campfires are a key part of the experience! To protect the grazing pasture, all fires must be raised off the grass in an elevated fire pit or bowl. Please bring your own elevated fire pit or bowl, as we do not have them available to borrow. Only seasoned firewood is permitted (no pallets or painted timber).
We don't have set check-in or check-out times. However, we are typically around the fields in the morning and evening to meet you, take payments, and help you get settled.
There is no Wi-Fi on the farm, but the site has very good mobile signal for most major carriers. It's easy to stay connected, though you are always welcome to switch off and enjoy the coastal views.
