About Mena Farm
Tucked at the end of a quiet lane, this camping and glamping site captures the feeling of Cornwall's country relaxation, far from the buzz of busy resorts. Set in 15 acres of Cornish land, you'd never guess it's close to the A30 with excellent access to many sandy beaches and attractions. It's within easy reach of the Camel Trail cycle route and other bike paths (bikes are available to hire). On site, head on one of the many nature walks around the farm, collect eggs from the chickens or go fishing for tiddlers in the pond (you'll need to show an EA licence). This family-friendly farm is a truly peaceful haven, not to mention the incredible stargazing and the Cornish sunsets. There are a set of pitches on grass and hardstanding with optional 10 amp electric. Or you can go back to basics in a wild meadow - the more adventurous option! Besides camping, the site offers a host of furnished glamping options from standard bell tents, Lotus Belle tents and glamping cabins equipped with all you need. Modern shared facilities are nearby. Try a stylish stay in a bell tent (sleeps four) with two futon beds and a king-size bed with a memory foam mattress. Although there is no electricity, these tents have solar panels for lighting and phone charging. Choose a bell tent in the main camping field that overlooks the play area or the more adventurous wild meadow, just a short walk away from the main field. Located in a private corner of the camping field, the three luxurious adult-only Lotus Belle Tents are perfect for couples (sleeps two). These offer a double bed with a memory foam mattress, bedding and an electric kettle, toaster, and an induction hob. You can also stay in one of the two beautiful glamping cabins (sleeps four). Spacious but cosy, the cabins are fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. This includes central heating, a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and ensuite bathrooms. Finally, there's Dolly, the vintage caravan. Over 50 years old and a lifetime of adventure, Dolly sleeps two comfortably for a quirky getaway. Pets are welcome on pitches and in the accommodation, but sorry, they cannot stay in glamping bell tents unless by prior agreement.
The site is open year round for camping, touring and glamping cabins, with bell tents and the vintage caravan available between May and September.
Modern site facilities include hot showers, with a secure wet room and baby changing facilities. Forgot the essentials? There is a well-stocked small shop at reception selling camping equipment, food, ice cream and drinks. Free wifi is available at reception alongside gadget charging and a freezer for ice packs. There's also a coin-operated launderette if needed.
Camping gear storage is available for those doing walking or cycling tours.
There's an outdoor play area with a basketball hoop, swings, slide, and play fort for the kids. There is also an indoor games barn with a pool table, TV lounge, table tennis, air hockey and books and games.
Throughout the summer, the site hosts a range of pop-up food and drink stalls. Just over a mile away is the village of Lanivet with eateries such as the Welcome Stranger Fish and Chip Restaurant, and The Lanivet Inn. A short drive away is Bodmin, a large town with supermarkets (Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Asada, Aldi, Lidl), shops, cafes and restaurants.

Great site, clean, tidy and well maintained. Staff on site were helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The coffee van and waffles on site were a great idea and the toilets and showers were clean and tidy. A perfect site for good old school camping with a modern twist. Enjoyed every minute in Cornwall (on my own with two teenage girls is an achievement in itself!)

A beautiful, well kept, affordable camp site, that has great places to feel isolated from other campers. LGBT friendly (we felt comfortable as a gay couple). It is well managed, the service and willingness to offer advise on where to visit was lovely. In fact we went to the Gardens of Halogen over the Eden project and we were very glad we did. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Things to do on site and in the Bodmin area
There's no shortage of things to do on or off-site at Mena Farm. Located in central Cornwall, the site has easy access to all that Cornwall has to offer, including the miles of walks, the stunning beaches around Newquay and the historic city of Truro.
There are plenty of walks and cycling routes around the site, including the superb Camel Trail - bikes are available to hire. Nearby Bodmin Moor has mindblowing spaces for walkers, with an ancient and beautiful landscape that is constantly rewarding. Track down the mythical Beast of Bodmin Moor or climb the peaks of Rough Tor and Brown Willy.
Although the site offers a large fishing pond where you can fish for tiddlers with the little ones, note that you will need an EA licence. For more keen anglers, coarse fishing is available within a couple of miles. Please ask the site.
Other great attractions include:
- Eden Project
- Lost Gardens of Heligan
- Lanhydrock House and Garden
