About Menagwins Farm

Nestled in Cornish countryside within the Pentewan Valley, this friendly and family run pop up camping site is a 45 minute walk through the woods, or a 10 minute drive, from Porthpean beach and Charlestown Harbour. There are 25 grass 12m x 12m pitches that cater to tents and are well-spaced, plus feature a parking spot. You'll be ideally placed to soak up the surrounding views on the outskirts of an AONB, and dogs are welcome here too. Five non electric grass pitches also welcome campervans, caravans and motorhomes only. These also measure a spacious 12m x 12m pitches for up to six guests. There is also a bell tent that sleeps up to six and is furnished with a double bed, for extra guests you will need to bring your own beds and bedding. Outside the bell tent is a fire pit, gas stove and cooking equipment. With a network of footpaths starting from the site, you're also spoilt for choice for cycle routes, hiking and more. Dogs are welcome to join you for your stay, with up to three permitted per pitch. Sorry, no dogs in the bell tent. Be sure to also bring along the BBQ or fire pit, just please ensure it is raised off the ground.

Camping and touring pitches are available from May to October, bell tents from 23rd June to September.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Touring PitchesOct 2024

Great, easy and peaceful stay with Peter. Facilities for a no frills camp.

Very pleasant and spacious, but very basic for price

Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Touring PitchesOct 2024

It was a lovely location. Great views, but we visited in October and the rather long grass and wet ground prevented us from getting to the top of the field. We felt it was a little overpriced given no EHU, composting toilets and outdoor shower. The welcome from the site owner was, however, very nice and accommodating.

No-frills camping

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Exactly what we wanted. The necessary facilities. Peaceful Campsite. Loved that we could have a fire which added to the ambience. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a cheaper option. Would book again.
