Dorms are not currently available. 

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 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 except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, 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. 

Get the festival-inspired glamping experience with a beautiful premium bell tent! These spacious tipi-like tents are fitted out with a double futon bed and two single futon beds plus all bedding. There's enough room for four people to chill out in and a wood burner to keep you cosy. You'll feel right at home in the Eden Project with their eco-friendly solar lighting and comfy bean bags. All bell tents include a BBQ fire pit.

Premium bell tents are available from April 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.

These brand new Landpods, upgraded for 2019, are fully waterproof and sleep up to four adults. They are slightly elevated off the ground for a comfortable night’s sleep under the stars – you can even open the roof for a better view! With LED lighting these cosy pods include all beds and bedding. There is a table, bench and BBQ firepit outside so you can make the most of the great outdoors and dine al fresco.

The new larger Landpod sleeps up to 4 people, on two small double mattresses (one above the other) and a single futon mattress, which doubles up as the seating area. They’re even tall enough to stand up in!

The Landpods are available to hire between April and October. Please note that there is no heating in our Landpods.

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.

Please be aware that the camping field is on a slope and any level pitches are limited in number. 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 30 people in their own tents. Toilet, Shower and washing up facilities are situated at the bottom of the camp-site. Check in at our main reception before setting up your tent.

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.

To enter the central Eden Project area, YHA Eden Project hostel and camping residents must purchase an Eden Project entry ticket. You can buy these directly from the Eden Project website.

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.
