Lovely location in a good part of the area. All facilities you need for a basic stay. Lovely staff. Hot water was tricky to find when washing up but other than that, I can't fault it.

Great place to stay. We arrived in a very quiet period, so not a lot happening but this is what we like. Views are amazing. If you like the evening sun, pitch in the middle of the field. It was very windy when we arrived so sheltered under the trees, so a bit more protected. As it is a campsite in progress, it could do with hot water in the washing up area and more hanging space in the showers. For the owners, please keep it as it is! Rural without a clubhouse. Back to basics is good. Definitely coming back.
Peaceful, clean and easy!

Stayed for just one night and could pitch up wherever we wanted! Dreamy. So we had sea views, sheep views and no neighbours.. perfect! You can even buy bits for a campfire on site and it’s a short distance to the beach. Basic but lovely.

First time out with our motor home greeted a reception and were very helpful, couldn’t fault anything it was just what we wanted, very quiet and were greeted by the sheep. Lovely.
Great experience

A lovely family run site, with everything you need, peaceful and quiet with great views. Fantastic dog safe/friendly beaches nearby too. This is not a criticism - I have a nervous dog so the local farmland “crow scaring canons” did alarm him on occasions. But I’m guessing this will be seasonal.
Good find

For spacious no frills camping, with sheep wandering between tents it doesn't get better than this farm site. Good views as well.

Lovely warm welcome. Absolutely beautiful views, very quiet and relaxing. Woke up to some sheep wandering around, which was really nice. Some lovely walks locally too.

There is basic and then there is basic. The facilities that they do have are very poorly maintained and ill thought through. No sinks for cleaning teeth etc. No hooks in showers. Scruffy and needing huge amount of maintenance. They get away with charging ridiculous prices based on the location. The cafe wasn't open but even if it was, I wouldn't have gone. Give it a miss is my advice.
Brilliant during off-peak season

We stayed outside of school holidays, which I think is the best time for this kind of site. At times we were the only people on site, so there were plenty of toilets and showers, although I doubt this would be the case during the summer holidays. There were washing facilities for clothes and dishes which were appreciated. The site also has an incredible view over the bay and was lovely and quiet throughout the night. If you are looking for a basic base camp during the off-peak season, then I would highly recommend this place.
Great place

We had a fab time at this campsite, we got to feed the lambs. Slightly rustic but just how we like a campsite - not to formal.

Great basic campsite It was a very quiet, considering was half term. Amazing sea views. The toilet/shower block seems new and was clean, with a couple of water stations. There was cafe, but it doesn't open until 1st July to the end of August. This didn't bother us.Great to have campfire in the evening. We took our own pit and wood, but you can hire on site and buy wood. Very friendly. Only comment would be to have hooks in the showers to hang towels, clothes on and maybe shelf for shower gel etc. Free roaming lambs around the field, made us chuckle to see. If you take dogs, you have to have on leads but footpaths just at entrance. Walk down to beach is about 1.5 miles, which takes about half hour and was shady in parts and a stream, so was good for the dogs as was a warm day. All round we would definitely stay again. Helps with good weather though!
Jubilant weekend

It was our second time visiting this campsite and another great stay. We are locals and book here for staycations as Maenporth beach is our family's favourite. Love the location and love the walk to the beach- it's bliss. An extra swing or slide for the kids would be great but otherwise not much to complain about. Will definitely be booking again, and so glad that we had our jubilee bank holiday in such a beautiful place. Thank you! Also loved the friendly sheep this year x
Very satisfied

It was a great camping site. It was quiet and the view was magnific. Our children had a chance to play with lambs, a cat and pet a horse. There was a playground for children. Bathroom and toilets were refurbished and in good conditions. The were special space to wash the dishes, a washing and drying machine for extra charge. Drinking water was available. Stones for barbecue were provided. The owner is very friendly and receptive. We didn't want to leave this place and we will definitely come back.

We had a great 2 days out of 3, where weather permitted us, to walk to Maenporth beach, twice. A 48min slow walk there and the same back. A great beach 🏖. Was a lovely family friendly farm camping site. Would recommend to everyone. Will come back again.

We've stayed at Penwarne a few times now, and we'll be back again in the future. We only live 15 minutes away, but it's a real getaway. The sea views definitely help the holiday vibe! Not too busy a site, but it wasn't high season (May half term). The children love the space, the freedom, the park and the animals (apart from the noisy peacock next door!). Facilities are basic but good, need a unisex dishwashing area so I can have a week off! Great to see the efforts with the recycling area. Fire pits are a great added extra, though I'd recommend bringing your own wood as not the cheapest on-site, though perfect for convenience!

This campsite is very good. Needs more washrooms and showers, but is clean. Play area needs updating as well and needs making bigger. Shower rooms are OK, but needs more, plus a sitting stool like in the disability shower. Makes it a lot easier when showering kids. Lighting is a bit poor as well. However, I would definitely recommend this campsite.
Wonderful and relaxed place to stay

This is a chilled out site that is for people who don’t want lots of regulations. As close to wild camping as you can get but with facilities
Beautiful peaceful site with amazing views

Such a great peaceful location. Owners left us to it all weekend after a lovely chat on the phone when we arrived. It's a great getaway if you want a quiet, back-to-basics experience in nature.

Lovely weekend here with my partner and our daughter. Sweet little playground next to some sheep and lambs, and beautiful views! We found footpaths which led us to Maenporth Beach. Really peaceful break away from home.
