Maker Camp
About
Maker Camp, situated on the wild and breathtaking south‑east coast of Cornwall, offers an authentic camping experience in a verdant setting that overlooks Cawsand Bay, West Bay and the distant Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor. The site is part of the Rame Conservation Trust’s Maker Heights estate, spanning acres of unimproved grassland, ancient monastic ruins, and Grade II* listed barrack block. Campers can pitch tents, caravans or motorhomes in a mosaic of grass and butterfly‑friendly habitats, while glampers can opt for luxury geodesic domes. The campsite is adjacent to the South West Coastal Path, making short walks to the waterfront villages of Kingsand and Cawsand a stroll away, and long hikes or brisk walks to the historic Redoubts are just minutes’ drive from the parking area. The site is committed to re‑investing all earnings into conservation and heritage, ensuring every visit supports the local environment. Maker Camp is famed for its unobstructed stargazing at the highest point on the Rame Peninsula, and it also hosts an annual Heritage Open Days programme, the Elevation Film Festival, and a vibrant community of artists, musicians and culinary producers. With a flat, 5‑mph speed limit, plentiful water and fire points, and a postal address of Maker Heights 2019, Millbrook, PL10 1LA, visitors enjoy a blend of rustic charm, cultural richness and coastal beauty.
