About Higher Pendeen Camping

Situated just ten minutes from Mawgan Porth's stunning beach, this small peaceful campsite is great for escaping everyday life in the Cornish countryside. Choose from one of the non-electric grass pitches, each providing plenty of privacy and space for you to pitch your tent. If you're looking for a more luxurious break in this stunning location, why not opt for one of the canvas bell tents on the site? These give glampers an idyllic and pre-pitched shelter. Complete with a double bed and an optional two single camp beds, matting, a fire pit with grill, upcycled outdoors tables and quaint lanterns. Bed linen and towels are not included, so you can either bring your own or rent some for an additional cost. Guests will also need to bring their own cooking utensils.
