A note from the site themselves...

We offer a truly relaxed and friendly atmosphere here, where children can play ball games or enjoy the wide open spaces. Sat just between St Ives and Penzance we couldn't ask for a better location and we also are super lucky to have the most amazing sunset views right from the site too!

We look forward to welcoming you and hope you love it here as much as we do!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

An absolute treasure of a camping site! The grass is perfect for running barefoot on, the views are spectacular and the pitches flat! Even the cat came to say hi! Facilities are basic but clean, no complaints at all! We will return next year!

Amazing!

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

A great campsite! It was the first time I'd camped but I was impressed with everything that was to offer. The showers were lovely and warm and enough space to change. Lots of space to choose where to pitch your tent. Only 10 minute drive from St Ives and there are taxi company's available that aren't expensive either. I couldn't recommend it enough!

Great no-frills campsite

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

Ideal basic facilities without the trimmings. Clean toilets, hot water, showers and washing up facilities. No laundry. A pleasant quiet field well away from main roads with views across the valley. Within easy reach of both St Ives and Penzance with St Michael's Mount 25 minutes away. The friendly farmer gives personal service. Dogs are not allowed which suits some people. There are no animals in the toilets, no mess on the grass and no noise at night. There is an indoor hostel associated with the farm. We would book again if we wanted to return to the area.
