County Campsite
Condurro
The County Campsite Condurro, St. Clement, Truro, Cornwall TR1 1SZ is approximately 2 miles from the city of Truro, Cornwall. This old orchard offers a secure and tranquil location for camping. The site lies just above the Tresillian River in a wonderfully secluded position, well surrounded by trees.
County Campsite Condurro is open, all year round, to all members of Girlguiding, and other recognised youth organisations, such as Scouts and Duke of Edinburgh groups, for overnight/residential stays and day bookings. We are not available for private or personal hire.
It is fully equipped for 30 campers.

Access and parking
Access to Condurro is limited due to the width of the approach road. The lane leading up to the campsite is just wide enough for a standard car to fit through.
The campsite has a small amount of free parking. Leaders and those with disabilities may drive up to the site and leave their cars there. This lane is very narrow with no passing places, so is not suitable for those dropping girls off. We suggest that girls should alight at the creek-side carpark and then walk up to the site. There are trolleys to help the girls carry all their kit. We recommend car sharing where possible.
Main campsite
The campsite comprises of a large grassed area covering approximately 1.5 acres rising up from the river. It is surround by trees and still has the odd apple tree here and there!
