About Pensagillas Park

Situated on a working Cornish farm, this site is ideally located for exploring this stunning part of the UK. Only a five minute drive from the Lost Gardens of Heligan and 20 minutes from the Eden Project, you will be able to tick off your Cornwall bucket list in no time! Pitches here are located across the five meadows, each connected by tarmac paths to help get around. The pitches are all grass, measuring 8m x 8m and allowing up to six guests each. The range of pitches allows for both tents and tourers, some even come with the addition of a 10 amp electric hook up and enjoy views over the fishing lake. The family friendly site is both pretty and rural, edged by trees and hedging which provide shelter. It's an easy ten minute hop from beaches such as Gorran Heaven, Careheys and Mevagissey, great for making the most of the summer weather! Guests can also spend time at the two acre onsite fishing lake (if you have a valid environment agency fishing licence). Stocked with a wide variety of fish including Carp, Roach, Tench and Golden Rudd, it is an ideal spot for keen anglers. For nights in the open, raised BBQs are allowed. The site also has a selection of raised fire pits available to hire, perfect for evenings spent toasting marshmallows. Please note, ground campfires are prohibited. Dogs are welcome here too, with up to three allowed per pitch. There is even a large five acre dog exercise area for them to stretch their legs!

Pensagillas Park is open from 20/05 to 30/09 in 2024 and from 17/05 to 31/08 in 2025.

A note from the site themselves...

Pensagillaas Park is still a working farm. We take great pride in working together with nature and do our upmost to try and protect the environment. We are trying to keep our park green and natural by reducing the use of tarmac and concrete on our land.

Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches (Orchard Meadow)Aug 2024

I gave facilities 3* but it was not about the camp, the food in the bar was not to standard, offering burgers and chicken burgers plain only. No butter, no salad, no fries. Not really the best way to serve up a burger.

Fantastic site!

Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches (Outer Meadow)Aug 2024

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return. Modern and clean facilities. Firepits to hire and logs/kindling to buy, which is great. Beautiful views too. The only thing that would have been handy, is if the little shop had more fresh stock. Other than that it was perfect!

Great place
