What customers say
This is a friendly, back-to-nature campsite with an excellent location for walking to Fowey town and the beach. Visitors highlight the helpful owners and peaceful atmosphere. Facilities are described as basic but functional, with positive comments on the hot outdoor shower. Some guests note the sloping nature of the field, suggesting levelling blocks, and occasional issues with portaloo cleanliness, which management states are being addressed.

Disliked Only a few even plots and very uneven ground. Also clear place to put garbage

From the manager: Hi Lisa
Sorry to hear that the vibe here at Lambs Barn was not up to your expectations. We are a pop up campsite, ( after 60 days the grass fields revert to producing food for our dairy cows) we do not have a cafe or shop on site and so rightly we do not accept your rubbish, which is clearly stated in our details on pitch up! We do have bins for personal hygenic waste which you will find in our toilets. We love our small piece of heaven in Fowey, we love being able to share it, it would be a shame to keep it to ones self.
Best wishes

Good value.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked The field is great, near town if you don’t mind a hill walk home.
Very reasonable price.
Shower very basic but hot!
Disliked Toilets were a really filthy, not sure how often the my are cleaned or emptied but unsanitary beyond anything festival loo I’ve used.

From the manager: Dear Angie
Thank you for a great personal review, I'm a little puzzeld by your loo remark though, both toilets are spotless at all times and I can only think that you used a portaloo by mistake that was closed awaiting collection on that Tuesday!! Yes Fowey has a hill to climb up out of but when you use the footpath ( St Catherines Parade) beside the campsite as suggested it is a flat easy walk, there is also a hoppa bus from the town which stops right outside the campsite. Hopefully we will see you next year 😁

Perfect Location & a warm shower!
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked I spent my 40th birthday here with my mum, stepdad, my friend and her almost 3-year-old, and we were all really happy with the site. We had three campers between us. The short walk (20/25 minutes max) to the beach and into Fowey was a highlight - we loved that we could do everything on foot without needing to take a van.
The showers were warm every day and the sink was great for washing up. There’s both a portaloo and, more recently, regular toilets have been added through the gate in the large wooden-style building.
It’s a simple, no-frills site, but more than satisfying - we couldn’t have asked for better for a relaxed stay.
Disliked There was nothing we disliked about this site. Bring chocks and you will be fine!

From the manager: Hi Zoe
Its great to hear such a glowing review and that you and your family had a great birthday celebration with us here in Fowey. We pride ourselves on being a friendly, family pop up campsite with a few basic home comforts!
Thank you for the 'heads up' on the shower 😁.

Great in Motorhome but bring ramps as it’s a Cornish field!
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Location to town, no structures spaces allowing you to choose, camping in a maize field, access to toilet block and chemical waste. Friendly owner. Vibe from other guests. It’s quite back to nature. Booked one night initially and then added several extra.
Disliked Water tap for filling Motorhome was wider than a home tap so couldn’t fit hoselok adapter. Had to use tape to connect hose to tap each time.
