What customers say
This is a beautifully maintained, quiet, and peaceful campsite with spacious, level pitches. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally clean and modern facilities, including hot showers. The owners are frequently described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Its central location makes it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points mentioned include the narrow access lane and the communal nature of some facilities, though most found this not to be an issue.

Oak the Lotus bell tent (adults only)
Liked Had a brilliant couple of days at Mena Farm!
We stayed in one of the lotus bell tents which had absolutely everything we needed for our trip. The site is a great size with plenty of space for games (and it was nice to see space deliberately left untouched instead of trying to squeeze as many plots on as possible). Shower and toilet block was kept clean throughout our stay and showers were spacious with plenty of hot water. We didn’t use the WiFi as signal across the site was great. Ali and Neil were really friendly and took time to go through everything on arrival. Beautiful views over the countryside and clear skies at night. Thank you so much!
Disliked The gates are locked at night so you’re given a code to open them if you’re coming back late. As the lotus bell tents are right next to the gate it was quite noisy with the sound of cars left running right outside the tent while people unlocked the gate, drove through and then locked it up before driving on. It didn’t spoil our overall enjoyment of the site but it did disturb our sleep so mentioning for people with kids or those who are light sleepers. The standard bell tents were on the other side of the site so we’d get one of those if we came back again 😊

Is it possible to give this campsite eleven out of ten?
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Everything.
The pitches are generously spacious with plenty of room for even the largest tents, level and well maintained. There's a choice of pitches with or without hedges to allow for privacy and shelter from the winds (they're pretty high up), far enough away from the main road for the traffic noise to be minimal and reasonably close to Bodmin or St Austal for food shopping.
The showers are very spacious, none of the usual three ft square cubicle to clash your elbows with plenty of hot water and a good flow of it too. Toilets are spotless and in keeping with the high standards of maintenance throughout the entire site.
If you're camping in the meadow, be advised it's quite exposed to the South Westerly winds, but the views are amazing!
A great campsite, easy to find and geographically nice and central for exploring all that Cornwall has to offer.
