Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Lovely campsite. Small park, ponies and sheep. VERY windy! Toilets and showers were fine. Nice little cafe on site that sells bacon baps, pizza and other bits.

Amazing

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Just loved the place, has a decent size café. The staff were warm and welcoming, the showers and toilets where clean enough and decent. The pitch sizes where big enough to fit a tent, awning, gazebo and 2 cars. Farm animals and kids area to keep the little ones entertained. Would highly recommend. 👌

Decent site

A decent campsite that served us well for our 5-night stay. All the essentials are provided and the pitches are mostly flat. Would consider coming back.

Lovely campsite

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

This campsite is in a fantastic location - not only do you get beautiful views of the ocean, but it's a short drive away from great attractions: Swanpool Beach, Trebah Gardens, Falmouth Town Center and only 40 minutes from Lizard Point. The owners were super friendly and very laid back. The facilities are okay, providing you with what you need - toilets, showers, water, washing up space and even washers/dryers (small fee). I saw the toilets getting cleaned regularly. Spiders are about, but it's a working farm, so they are as at home here as the sheep and don't take away from the niceness of the stay.

Good value for money

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Beautiful view, close to Falmouth and Helston, but within a quiet rural nook itself. Easy to get to main transport routes but also, plenty to do nearby. A few more sinks in the ladies or a better layout wouldn't go a miss (based in a corner location and quite tight to use when busy) and the showers were on the cooler side for my personal preference. The washing up area was always clean but no hot water on tap and queuing to use a kettle to boil water to wash up at busy times was a little frustrating, but nothing leaving the washing up until later didn't solve. We had a lovely stay here and will probably return (we visit family in the area, so need a good camping base we know we'll like for when we come). The field is on a bit of a slope, so bring your vehicle ramps if applicable and there is sheep mess everywhere (hard to dodge in late night toilet runs) but it's worth it for the view!

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

This is a lovely campsite set in rural surroundings. It has a wonderful café providing hot reasonably priced food, the staff are friendly and helpful. There is a small play area for children, and laundry facilities. The toilets and showers are cleaned twice daily, sometimes more when the weather is bad, and they are spotless. The showers are difficult to manage as there is a push button which only releases about 5 seconds of water before it needs pushing again. An improvement would be to enlarge the size of the play area, and increase the water flow timing of the showers.

Basic campsite with distant views

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

The site is in a large field with distant views of Falmouth Bay. There is no reception, you just drive in having pre-booked. So there was no welcome from the owners, or any control on site as far as we could work out. The facilities were basic and functional. The "café" was a concrete floored barn with some plastic patio furniture serving burgers and breakfasts. The chemical disposal was stomach churning. I would not recommend this site.

Well used and established in AONB

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Easy to find and electric hook up spaces clearly marked. Pictures make it look more spacious in this area than it actually is. Lovely views across fields to the sea. Long but good walk to village and nearest beach. Campers adhered to quiet rules after 10:30pm. Shower block could do with refurbish but lots of hot water. Also, good to have the cafe there when needed. Owners clearly working hard to keep it going.

We had a fantastic week at this campsite, we will definitely use it again. A great base for going round different places in this area, and only just over an hour away from lands end.

Great!

Great stay. Not too busy. Some naughty sheep! Great facilities...showers were a little chilly but very clean. Not too far from the beaches or the town which was nice. All-in-all, couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024

A fantastic stay in a wonderful location. If you're looking for a simple camping site where the emphasis is on communing with nature, then this is the place for you. Whilst it has good toilets, showers, a small laundry and even a kettle, as well as a basic play area for kids, it's the views and close access to farm animals that make this site, coupled with its slightly off the beaten track location. We'll be returning.

Beautiful views

Great place to camp with stunning views. We were visiting our son at Falmouth University and decided to give camping a go and were very happy in this relaxed campsite with basic facilities. Many thanks for a great stay and see you again soon.

Nice quiet site, ideal for basic camping

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2024

Penwarne Farm is absolutely beautiful. Located at the top of a hill, you can see out towards the sea and neighbouring fields, which make for beautiful mornings and peaceful evenings. There are showering facilities which were of a good standard. There were also additional washing machines, fridges and a washing up area which are so helpful! There are lots of animals like sheep and horses that live in the same field, which did not disturb us but definitely added to the peaceful vibe of the weekend. In addition, the farm cat, Bayley, came and sat with us throughout the whole weekend and was adorable! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great site great location

Third time visiting this site. The location is just perfect with views to the sea and beautiful sunrises if you come later in the year. Plenty of facilities on site and very friendly staff. Will be returning next year for sure!

Great location, peaceful and great views
