About the site
Surrounded by a patchwork of pastures and beaches with sprinkles of landscaped woodland, Penwarne Farm offers guests a blissful escape from the 21st century having stolen the hearts of many visitors who return year after year, waking up to the sunrise and panoramic sea views out to Falmouth Bay and inland to Pendennis Castle. Nestled amongst picturesque Cornish countryside, near the Helford Peninsula, Penwarne is proud to be one of Cornwall's oldest campsites and blessed to be located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Mann family has worked the land since 1886 and has been welcoming happy campers since the 1920s! If you want camping on the coast, this Cornish farm offers an idyllic setting positioned on a footpath to Meanporth beach (around a 30-minute walk away). It overlooks the sea with panoramic views across Falmouth Bay - providing the perfect backdrop to an authentic Cornish farm holiday. With over eight beaches less than a ten-minute drive away, you will be spoiled for choice! You'll be pitching up in a peaceful setting on a working farm, ideal for laid back holidays with plenty of room for the children to run around and a great escape for couples or groups wanting to explore the coastline. During high season, the pitches are marked out for 16amp electric hook-ups. If electric is not required, there is plenty of room for grass pitching in the front of the field. The area is home to an array of wildlife such as pheasants, bats, kestrels and buzzards. Well behaved dogs welcome, provided they are kept on a lead at all times as the site sometimes has their friendly cattle grazing in the field.

Stunning views, disappointing facilities

Stunning views! Unfortunately that's where the positives stop. The facilities were dirty, full of spiders and very uninviting. I've visited this site 4 years ago and had a lovely time, I don't remember the facilities being as they were. Also 3/4 of the field was fenced off for the horses and sheep. Now I haven't got a problem with this but it just added to the untidy look of the place. A new building has been built which is great! However, it already looks run down inside, there a window smash and again generally looks unappealing. I wouldn't recommend if your priority is clean facilities, if it isn't then the views on a clear day are brilliant.

Great little campsite for where we wanted to be. Facilities basic but ok. Views spectacular.

If we had not prepaid, we would not have stayed here. The location and views are absolutely gorgeous. Everything else from the clarity of actual field entrance to the facilities were very basic indeed and totally overpriced. Cleanliness of the cramped and unheated toilet block was minimal and the local insect life was in every toilet and the one shower open in the ladies. The washing up area had cold running water but you had to boil kettles to get hot water. We cannot recommend this site and would not return.
