A note from the site themselves...

Polmanter has been in our family for over 50 years, and we still live on site with our family today. What started as a few pitches on our farm has grown into a five-star park that still holds onto its roots, with the same relaxed atmosphere and pride in looking after people.

We feel incredibly lucky to live in such a beautiful part of Cornwall, and love being able to share it with our guests. Many families return to us year after year — and some who once came as children now bring their own. That's what means the most to us.

We're proud of the team around us, many of whom have been with us for years, and we like to think guests feel part of that wider Polmanter family too. Whether it's your first visit or your fifteenth, we hope you feel right at home.

Twin Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesOct 2025

We had a great stay in October with perfect weather. As it was October, the site was very quiet, but immaculate with plenty of space and views towards the coast. The site is ideal situated for walking the 1.5 miles into St Ives where you will find beautiful clear seas and golden sand.

Such good experience that we extended our stay

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2025

We went there on our way back from Land's End to Dover. It's a great location to explore this region to Land's End and Newqay etc. We took the option to go to St. Ives by bus, directly from the campsite. It's absolutely recommendable to do so! It is quick and easy and you don't have any car park problem in St. Ives. Anyway the car park in St. Ives for visitors is quite a walking distance to the harbour and uphill on return to the car. Campsite itself was the best in terms of facilities. The restaurant is absolutely recommendable. Staff was really nice and helpful. When we (from Germany) might come back to Cornwall, we will go there again, for sure.

Breathtaking views
