General
- Off-grid wild camping on the Cornish coast two miles from Falmouth
- Walk to Maenporth or Swanpool beach within 20 minutes
- Sea views and direct access to the South West Coast Path
Getting out on the South West Coast Path could barely be easier than it is from Penrose Farm Wild Camping – this Cornwall site is right by the shoreline between Falmouth and Maenporth, and it has its own private access gate to the coast path.
That means you can get out for short or long seaside strolls whenever you like, or use the path to get to one of the local beaches: Maenporth and Swanpool are your closest, at about 15 minutes and 20 minutes’ walk respectively. There are places to eat at both spots too, so you could leave the car behind for several days here and simply get about on foot easily enough.
And there’s no need to leave the coast behind once you’re done with outings for the day, because this field is close enough to the shore to have gorgeous sea views from the pitches. They look out to the east, so it’s worth being up for sunrise, but they’re still splendid of an evening (and you can light up a barbecue or campfire to keep you warm as you sit and gaze out at the waves).
This is an off-grid wild camping site so facilities are limited, but you’ll have access to a compost loo. It’s all very laidback in vibe, so kids and dogs are welcome and there aren’t any real restrictions on arrival and departure times.
Open from 22/07/2022 to 31/08/2022

Local attractions
The coast is the big draw around here, of course – and no doubt you’ll start with outings to Maenporth and Swanpool beach, which are both within 20 minutes’ walk.
You could continue from either of these for a splendid day’s walking along the South West Coast Path – perhaps as far as Durgan (an hour and a half’s walk), where you can turn inland to explore Glendurgan Garden or Trebah Garden. Alternatively you can drive to either within 15 minutes.
Spotted any seals as you walk? It’s perhaps unlikely, so you may need to pay a visit to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes’ drive). To meet equally cute four-legged rescue animals, aim for the Flicka Foundation donkey sanctuary (10 minutes).
Some time in Falmouth (five minutes’ drive/40 minutes’ walk) is also a fine idea, to peruse Pendennis Castle, visit the art galleries and take a boat to St Mawes, a lovely little fishing village across the estuary with a beach, castle and a network of winding streets to wander through.

Thank you for your constructive criticism, in our defence Pitch Up had no way of monitoring such a group booking. Everyone who stayed thst particular night booked separately from different places. With regards to the noise I wish you had given up the opportunity to deal with this. We have notices asking to contact us if any problems and seeing as this seemed to be late then we had no way of knowing due to being in bed ourselves. We suspect it was due to the fact they had been in town watching the lionesses win and carried on once back. Had we been aware of such noise I would have kindly asked them to tone their noise levels down, but as we weren't notified till the following day, this experience could've been avoided. All we can do is apologise and I can assure you that we won't tolerate such behaviour is we had known.
As for level of facilities, we are a basic campsite and the facilities (composte toilets and tap) are highlighted within pitch up, we've never tried to claim we have anymore. We pride ourselves on the panoramic sea views with direct access to the south west coast path.
