Sleeping up to two, the tent comes furnished with a double air bed and a bedside table, plus a private fire pit just outside.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2026

This site has a beautiful view over to Penzance. It is in walking distance of Marazion & Penzance. Facilities are what you’d expect at a farm, basic but everything you need. As you’re high up a hill, it was windy so would recommend a windbreak. Owners are lovely and fires are allowed. A really good site.

Great stay

A note from the site themselves...

We are the fourth generation in my family who have the privilege of farming Garris Farm.

One of my childhood favourite memories is riding around on my uncle's tractor, sitting on a biscuit tin for a seat, the same tractor is used on the farm today. It's a dream come true for me to work at the place that has given me a lifetime of memories.

We hope your visit to Garris Farm will also leave you with loving memories!
