About Boskenwyn Manor
Park up your tourer and enjoy off-grid camping amongst the South Cornwall countryside, just ten minutes from Porthleven with shops, restaurants and a lovely fishing port. This small site offers a simple and back to basics camping experience, surrounded by public footpaths and bridleways, great for exploring the area. There are a total of six spacious pitches, all on grass and measuring up to 10m x 10m, these are well-spaced out making it comparably quiet to the larger and more commercial camping grounds. The pitches welcome tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes. Sit back and listen to the birds singing or pack some games and enjoy a family game of rounders! Or, spend an afternoon at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, a rescue center for seals and sea lions with a café and a variety of animals including otters, penguins, ponies, and goats. Dogs are welcome. Gas fired BBQs are welcome and any sold fuel BBQs must be kept off the ground, during summer BBQs are only permitted in the designated BBQ area. Please note that open fires are not permitted.
Boskenwyn Manor is open from 01/04 to 29/09.
A stylish and bespoke shepherd's hut onsite is equipped with toilet and shower facilities, including two spacious shower areas, two unisex toilets, two sink basins and two outdoor sinks for washing up. There are also disposal points for grey waste, recycling and bins.
The local Bridget's Farmhouse Baking is based on the farm with a range of delicious cakes and treats that are baked to order in time for your arrival or during your stay. Eat out at the highly rated 'New Yard Restaurant' at Trelowarren Estate.
Other local recommendations for great food and drink include The Black Swan, The Boatyard Cafe, The Ship Inn, Trengelly Wartha Inn, Moon Bay Chinese as well as many great places in Helston, Porthleven and Falmouth too.

We stayed for two nights with our toddler - really lovely little site! Very clean, modern toilets and showers, good sized pitches and secure enough for the little one to run around freely. Tom was very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely stay again.
Fantastic little spot!

Beautiful hidden gem! Facilities were exceptional, there was a BBQ area, showers and toilets. A place to charge your phones, freezer, bins and recycling. Everything and more you need camping. We went to the black swan (two minutes down the road) for dinner that was equally as good! Will be staying again, especially as you can bring your dogs!
Peace
