YHA Eden Project

YHA Eden Project accommodates up to 234 guests in 60 modern en-suite bedrooms made from shipping containers, in keeping with the Eden spirit of sustainable living and finding new uses for everyday items. These comfortable rooms are equipped with all the conveniences you expect from YHA and much more, including TVs in each room and full air conditioning, making them a fantastic base for your holiday in Cornwall. With their clever use of space and high specification bathrooms, the rooms are perfect for families and individual travellers. The hostel is open every day of the year, but the Eden Project is closed on Christmas day.

Please refer to our 'How to get here' section for how to access the hostel after Eden Project opening hours. 

Please note that camping is sold per person and not per pitch and so, during the booking process, you will need to select the number of people that you wish to camp.

The campsite is situated within the magical grounds of the Eden Project, just a short walk away from the Eden Project entrance gates and a couple of hundred metres away from the main YHA Snoozebox hostel. It provides camping for approximately 80 people on-site. You can either bring your own tents or hire a stylish festival-inspired bell tent. Check in at our main reception before setting up your tent - the camping field is on a slight slope, just a few minutes away from the Snoozeboxes and up a country lane and two small sets of steps.

There is a separate heated shower and toilet block for exclusive use by people camping and we have a fine selection of teas, coffees and local and international beers and wines. A continental breakfast is available in the morning. Other food and drink is available from within the Eden grounds during standard opening hours.

Vehicles are not permitted on the camping field but can use the drop-off point at the end of the field. Please note we do not provide electric hook-up or hard standing pitches. Motor homes and camper vans are not permitted - we can only accommodate tents for access reasons. Guests are not permitted to stay in their vehicles overnight.

Get the festival-inspired glamping experience with a beautiful premium bell tent! These sophisticated and spacious tipi-like tents are fitted out with a double futon bed and two single futon beds plus all bedding is included - there's enough room for four people to chill out in! There is also a wood burner to keep you cosy. There are six bell tents at YHA Eden Project. You'll feel right at home in the Eden Project with their eco-friendly solar lighting and comfy bean bags. Bell Tents are available to book to stay in from May until the end of October.

The walk to the bell tents can be quite strenuous but is more than worthwhile. People with mobility issues may need to bear this in mind.

Remember, to enter the central Eden Project area, both YHA Eden Project hostel and camping residents must purchase an Eden Project entry ticket. These are available to purchase directly from YHA as part of a hostel or camping booking, and give guests unlimited access to the Eden Project for their whole stay! Just add tickets to your basket at the checkout or alternatively call call 0800 0191700. All tickets are annual passes and cheaper than on the door.

The Eden Project is more than an unforgettable day out. Along with its stunning gardens and popular music events such as the Eden Sessions, it breaks boundaries on social and environmental projects - creating an unforgettable visit for everyone. It's run in the greenest way possible, helping create a sustainable future and allowing valuable research into plant life, eco-systems and conservation.
