About Pensagillas Park
Situated on a working Cornish farm, this site is ideally located for exploring this stunning part of the UK. Only a five minute drive from the Lost Gardens of Heligan and 20 minutes from the Eden Project, you will be able to tick off your Cornwall bucket list in no time! Pitches here are located across the five meadows, each connected by tarmac paths to help get around. The pitches are all grass, measuring 8m x 8m and allowing up to six guests each. The range of pitches allows for both tents and tourers, some even come with the addition of a 10 amp electric hook up and enjoy views over the fishing lake. The family friendly site is both pretty and rural, edged by trees and hedging which provide shelter. It's an easy ten minute hop from beaches such as Gorran Heaven, Careheys and Mevagissey, great for making the most of the summer weather! Guests can also spend time at the two acre onsite fishing lake (if you have a valid environment agency fishing licence). Stocked with a wide variety of fish including Carp, Roach, Tench and Golden Rudd, it is an ideal spot for keen anglers. For nights in the open, raised BBQs are allowed. The site also has a selection of raised fire pits available to hire, perfect for evenings spent toasting marshmallows. Please note, ground campfires are prohibited. Dogs are welcome here too, with up to three allowed per pitch. There is even a large five acre dog exercise area for them to stretch their legs!
Pensagillas Park is open from 20/05 to 30/09 in 2024 and from 17/05 to 31/08 in 2025.
The park facilities include two toilet and shower blocks (block near reception is open during school holidays only), a launderette with tumble drier and iron. There is a large dog exercise area (5 acres), undercover washing up facilities, vending snack machine, ice pack freezing and free WiFi. Fire pits are available to hire and logs are for sale.
During the school holidays, a small bar/restaurant with take away food is available, along with a small onsite shop.
Fishing rod hire is available in the shop for use in the fishing lake. The nearest pub is The Crown Inn, a five minute drive away, and for picking up the essentials, Lobbs Farm Shop is a ten minute drive.

I gave facilities 3* but it was not about the camp, the food in the bar was not to standard, offering burgers and chicken burgers plain only. No butter, no salad, no fries. Not really the best way to serve up a burger.
Fantastic site!

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return. Modern and clean facilities. Firepits to hire and logs/kindling to buy, which is great. Beautiful views too. The only thing that would have been handy, is if the little shop had more fresh stock. Other than that it was perfect!
Great place
