Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesOct 2023

Lovely quiet site. Only downside was that the showers were lukewarm. Wasn't bothered at all by owners, so left to get set up. Will be back again in the summer :)

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Great site, great value for £. Extremely quiet and peaceful, everything clean and working. Minor comment - shower could do with a seat or a shelf to put toiletries and shoes on, otherwise they'll be in spray (a really really petty comment). Will 100% definitely use this campsite again, great location.

Perfect!

It was excellent and we had the place to ourselves! Only disturbance was unpleasant plastics burning just over the hedge, but the cows were a pleasure!

Not for us

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

This place trades on the fabulous view. Only two toilets open, no access to the hairdryer in the ladies'. Rest of the toilets/showers were closed with a big "no entry" sign. No door to the toilet area, so anyone could look in or see people washing, which is not nice. No separate private cubicles. Showers were small, basic and nowhere to hang stuff. No hot water in the dishwashing area, so had to boil the kettle. Bins overflowing with lids off, not clear which bins to use for what. £93 for 3 nights, end of season. Never saw the owner. Would have left if we hadn't prepaid.

Great base camp

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Fantastic location! Just 10 minutes into central Falmouth and surrounded by beautiful small coves/beaches just a short distance from the campsite. The campsite was very quiet during our stay and very few campers there due to being out of holiday season. Beautiful views from our camper. We had an electric pitch and the pitch sizes are very generous. Had it been busy, we would not have felt like we were on top of the neighbours. As it was quiet, we were able to choose our own pitch. The facilities were clean and suitable. My only recommendation would be to have a drop down table/baby change table in the disabled/accessible wet room. As someone who has medical needs I needed somewhere to put my medical equipment while showering but that is my only advice. The campsite is on a working farm so there is noise from the animals, but this didn't bother us, it was lovely to wake up to every morning. The owners were lovely and very accommodating to us staying an extra night. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Convenient site

Ideal campsite, our only issues were the showers. As a family, we prefer the showers which you can switch on and enjoy, and not have to press after 30 seconds for water.

Amazing rural campsite

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

An amazing stay, great facilities that were regularly cleaned. Fire pit hire was a big plus with logs and kindling provided too which made for two great evenings. Simon and Nicola were lovely and very helpful. Nice proximity to Falmouth/walks/activities.

Great campsite!

Lovely view of the sea from this campsite! Very useful launderette/ washer dryer services onsite as well as clean shower/ toilet block. A mile walk to local village to pub/ shop.

Paradise!

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Amazing view to start. Simon and his wife were absolutely great, nothing was too much trouble. We had a blow out in our car 5 miles away from the site and Simon took me to the car to get it recovered afterwards and even gifted us a fire pit for a night too as we could not collect our gas. Beautiful beaches close by and if you talk to Simon or his wife, they will point you in the right direction of the best walks. We will definitely be back 😊

Fabulous stay

We had a wonderful stay at Penwarne and would return anytime. Nicola and her husband and Farmer Paul are around to ask anything you need and are constantly checking toilets, showers and bins. A lovely campsite which suited our needs, great fire pits to rent and very friendly atmosphere on site. Would come back anytime we are in the area!

A wonderful stay, with very helpful staff

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

A lovely site which is unspoilt, stunning views and a quiet site to suit anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The site has the facilities that are required and are kept clean. Nothing is too much problem for Nicola and Simon and they are friendly and approachable. I found NIcola adding tent pegs to my tent when the wind had picked up - amazing and much appreciated service. The site is safe for children, they have a small play area but this is the 'hub' for all ages of children and it is safe for them to play out late into the evening. The site has a small shop which provides milk, ice creams, lollies, cans and gin (the gin is locally made and is fantastic!). The icecreams/lollies are reasonably priced at £1 each. Fire pits can be hired and stone baked pizzas are available 3 nights per week - they are absolutely stunning and well worth the price, you can choose to make changes to the toppings if required. This is our third year staying at this site and we will definitely be visiting again next year. Sometimes there are calves on site and this year there were a mother and her foal - children can pet and feed them. Sheep sometimes roam freely when they escape their area of the field. Campers respect the no noise after 10.30pm so everyone gets a good nights sleep. I can't rate this site highly enough, a thoroughly enjoyable and natural camping site that allows you to enjoy the countryside and enjoy the view of the sea at the same time. We look forward to staying again next year for our 4th year!

The best campsite in Falmouth area

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

We arrived early and had a text at 5am telling us the pitch numbers and if they were empty to carry on setting up. The electric pitches are really level and the toilet and washing faciliies are cleaner than most hotels we have stopped in. It's very central to the three main beaches and the staff on site we really polite and helpful. We will definitely recommend and re visit. Had a really nice stay, thank you.
