About Lamarth Farm

A peaceful countryside retreat tucked away down a windy Cornish lane. Just ten minutes from the stunning south-west coast and beaches such as Gunwalloe Church Cove and Poldhu, also just five minutes from Flambards Theme Park. There are 45 grass pitches without electric suitable for tents, campervans and motorhomes. Campers will be parking up in an unmarked, unallocated field and can stay wherever you choose and have plenty of space. There are also five non electric grass pitches for touring caravans only. These are also unrestricted so can park up wherever! Or, if you don't want the hassle of bringing your own tent, opt for one of the unfurnished bell tents. Measuring 4m x 4m, each comes with an outdoor fire pit, picnic table and windbreak. You will need to bring everything apart from the tent! Meet the resident chickens and ducks, with fresh eggs available to purchase! The site is also close to the Royal Navy base of Culdrose so spot helicopters and gliders as they fly past. Or, get out and about and venture along the Cornish coast. The South West Coastal Path is just a five minute drive from site and is the perfect way to see the local area. Dogs are welcome onsite just please keep them on the lead, unless in the fenced onsite dog exercise field. Two are included in your booking but you're allowed up to four. Campfires and BBQs are welcome as long as they are built in fire pits and kept raised off the grass. Please note, the site is on a working farm so keep to the camping fields and you may here tractors and other machinery at work. There is also a cottage available to hire onsite.

Camping is available from 26th April to 1st October and the bell tents are available for the late May bank holiday week and from 26th July to 30th August.

A note from the site themselves...

We are the third generation here at Lamarth Farm and my husband Luke runs the agricultural contracting business from our arable farm with his dad. We have two small boys and have diversified so I can enjoy watching the boys grow up and make happy memories meeting people who come to stay at our farm on their holidays.

Our relaxed back to basics approach is perfect for families who want to slow down a little on their holidays - turn off the screens and enjoy the space, freedom, views and quality time as a family meeting others.

Myself Rachel, Luke, our two boys and Mollie (our dog) look forward to welcoming you!
