Dog-friendly pop-up site surrounded by the Cornwall countryside
Walking distance from the beach; a 15-minute drive to the Eden Project
Links to trails and footpaths; pub nearby; natural spring water on tap

Pop up and pitch up… that's the method at Menagwins Farm, a family-run pop-up campsite in the Pentewan Valley. Surrounded by the Cornwall countryside and woodlands, this family-friendly and dog-friendly site is just outside an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has views towards the local tin mines. So, gather a group, round up the family or whisk your partner away for a break in the outdoors, as you’ll be well-based for cycling, walking or just kicking back for a bit. To the sea you go… it’s a 45-minute walk (or a 20-minute bicycle ride) down to Porthpean, where you can potter around the cafés and shops or claim space on the beach. Take your pick from several more coastal spots nearby: Pentewan beach, Charlestown harbour (topsail schooners and tall ships are the speciality here) and Mevagissey harbour are all close by – some of them with places to hire out a paddleboard, kayak or boat. The farm entrance also links up with the Pentewan Trail and there’s a public footpath through the farm towards 330 miles of coastal paths. A farm dedicated to both agriculture and nature, the land is well maintained and structures are kept to a minimum on site, so facilities are simple and include composting toilets, a cold shower and natural spring water on tap. The spacious pitches all have a small parking space too. For handy eats, you can take your pick from several restaurants, takeaways and pubs nearby, including a traditional 16th-century pub five minutes’ drive away and dining down at the harbour.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Simple campsite design, open field where you can pick a pitch. Loads of space even though we went mid august when the place was busy. Quiet and feels private as there’s so much space. Composting toilets were very clean and nicely finished inside. Easy to check in as you just phone up when you get their and someone explains everything, however we never seen the owner/warden on site for our full stay.

Disliked: I didn’t use the shower but would guess it might not appeal to all, as the shower cubicle is open at top and bottom so not much privacy. However this is advertised as a wild camp site so these things should be expected.

Clay Country View bell tent

Liked: The bell tent was absolutely gorgeous, apart from the bedding (which you are asked to bring yourself) everything is provided! It's in such a gorgeous location and has beautiful views. The campsite is lovely and quiet and the compost toilets are immaculate! Daisy and David were lovely and only a phonecall away! The fire pit provided some much needed warmth of the evening when the great British weather lived up to expectations! The bed in the Bell tent is by far the comfiest bed I've ever slept in and the location is perfect for exploring the local area! Thank you so much for an amazing stay!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Es war super viel Platz und es ist alles da, was man so benötigt, sogar Seife und Spülmittel, Spülschwamm wurden bereitgestellt. Das Personal ist auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Disliked: Leider nur eine kalte Outdoordusche, die nicht unbedingt die Privatsphäre ermöglicht, die man sich vielleicht wünschen würde. Dass die Dusche kalt ist, ist aus der Beschreibung nicht klar hervorgegangen.
