A great little spot.
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We loved the level of the field, the secure dog paddock and the friendliness of Luke and Rachel.
The toilet blocks were clean and smelt lovely, and everything was covered, right down to tampons and pads (this couple really do go the extra mile)
We had a lovely couple of nights, and booked to return for 3 nights on Sugust bank holiday while we were there.
We took a small camper and awning, and our group was 2 parents, an 18 Yr old and our 2 dogs.
It was peaceful, relaxing, and certainly a site we will be returning to for short weekends away.

Liked Loved this site - it was not too busy, very peaceful and great amenities. Toilets and showers were kept nice and clean and showers were lovely and warm. Location is great for exploring the lizard peninsula. Having access to a freezer was great for cooling ice blocks. We will return!
Disliked No shops nearby for basics, eg bread and milk

Family holiday- great campsite
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We really loved this campsite and highly recommend it! The children's play area is excellent, and it is very pet-friendly—dogs are allowed, and there are even friendly animals on site. The pitches are great and kept very clean. Having access to a fridge was a big plus, and the toilets and showers were clean with plenty of hot water. A fantastic place to stay for families and dog owners!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Chilled, choose you own pitch, plenty of space, added extras such as coffee van and food van visits.
Clean shower and toilet block.
Charging facilities and fridge freezers, toys for kids to play on field. Welcoming owner.
Excellent location for visiting lizard area but also not too far to travel for other areas of Cornwall.
Disliked Slight slant to the ground but didn’t affect our sleep.
The site is located right next to the navy helicopter base. Sometimes trying to relax in an evening and had very loud helicopters running nearby for long periods of time.

Liked We absolutely loved our stay at Lamarth. And we would definitely come again. Our highlights were the kids toy shed, football pitch, clean and spacious showers, seeing the chickens and goats. Owner Rachel was lovely and welcoming too.

Anonymous Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Open space ! Lots of space to play games with the family! very well thought out facilities, offering everything you may need /had forgotten! Hosts very friendly & helpful.
Disliked Helicopters night flying! But not the campsite’s fault they are situated right next to the airbase so to be expected!

From the manager: Thank you for your review- im pleased you enjoyed your time with us despite the helicopters!! you get used to them and reassuring to know they are training future pilots to defend our country. We look forward to welcoming you again

Absolutely beautiful place.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Hi guys, I arrived in Helston Cornwall early hours 19th July & stayed a week at Lamarth Campsite.
I have to say as soon as I arrived it looked lovely & well kept & managed by Rachel & hubby.
They both met me as I arrived & have to say they’re such nice people & very friendly. Unfortunately my parents whom live in Helston were 2&3/4miles away.I explained I wouldn’t be here in the day as l would be with them every day. Rachel & hubby offered & letme borrow their cycle to which I am eternally grateful for the journey to & fm my parents.Thank you guys.
I must admit my legs look great after cycling all week😅. I can surely say Lamarth farm/campsite is highly recommended as they have everything you need to enjoy your holiday/stay here!
I look forward to seeing you both maybe in October 🤞🏻.
Takecare guys & a huge thanks.
