General
- On the Fowey Estuary
- Slipway adjoining the site
- Pub and waterfront café a short stroll away
Simply messing about in boats is a breeze at Penmarlam Caravan and Camping Park, on the Fowey Estuary in Cornwall. Lucky enough to have your own boat? Launch it straight onto the sparkling waters from the slipway adjoining the site. More cabin boy/girl than captain? Test your sea legs by hiring a kayak nearby, or jump aboard one of the scenic ferries to Fowey and beyond.
Even if you're a confirmed landlubber, you’ll like the cut of this site's jib: the pitches are generous enough to give everyone a wide berth, and the facilities most definitely shipshape.
The park shop is chock-a-block with kit and vittles at reasonable prices, plus there's wifi (free for the first 20 minutes), immaculate showers and toilets, a laundry room and an information centre to help you fathom out all the local attractions.
A good pub and a waterfront café are a stroll away so you can go with the flow when it comes to the catering too.
Open from 01/04/2017 to 29/10/2017

Check availability at Penmarlam Caravan and Camping Park…
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Sorry about the dogs - it's a problem with being dog friendly (as I am always telling my dogs - shut up! - I do let them bark at customers who haven't yet paid - ha ha) |

Local attractions
Guests often give the car a few days off at Penmarlam Caravan and Camping Park and leg it around the alluring coastal paths instead: there are some gorgeous coves, cliffs and bays in the immediate vicinity.
Alternatively, it takes just a few minutes aboard the ferry from the neighbouring village of Bodinnick to reach the pretty town of Fowey, veritably buzzing during its annual regatta week in August, but a lively spot at any time of year with its cornucopia of cafés, pubs, shops and restaurants, and a popular family beach at Readymoney Cove.
With many other excellent beaches within easy reach, this is prime territory for sea fishing trips and watersports of every description.
The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are the closest of the top attractions, both just a few miles away, but you’re really well placed at Penmarlam to reach all the delights of Cornwall: animal sanctuaries, historic homes and gardens, theme parks, castles, museums, and scenic towns such as Polperro and Looe.

I'm not sure who you are as you didn't book though PitchUp - we would never offer you a sea view as we only have beautiful rural views - see the photos on our listing. I understand you are unhappy, but you didn't let us know, otherwise we could have hopefully resolved issues, other than the sea view, at that time.
We are a touring site, I am the only "resident" with my dogs - we will work very hard to help you - just let us know if something is not to your liking and we'll try our best to help!
