About the site

Fancy camping by the coast? Penrose's pitches are spread across two fields, sheltered by Cornish hedges and offering easy access to walks around the Penrose Estate, the coastal footpath and Porthleven. The site is part of a working dairy and arable farm located in the countryside on the edge of Porhleven Village offering a perfect base to explore the magical coast of West Cornwall. Pitch sizes are unrestricted, so it's easy to pick where you'd like to get settled and spread out. There's no electric, but there are incredible countryside and sea views, amazing sunsets and convenient facilities in the form of two toilet and shower blocks.

Open from 1 August to 31 August

Things to do on site and in the Helston area

Just a few minutes away is the tempting coastal footpath, which will take walkers to some of the most beautiful parts of the South West.

There are also walking and cycling routes around the farm and Loe Pool, which make it easy to do some exploring. Of course, a walk on the beach at sunset is a lovely end to any day.

Expert surfers love this part of Cornwall and the sandy beach is great for sunbathing or family games.
