View from the farm

  • Back-to-basics pitches with spectacular Mount’s Bay views in Cornwall
  • A 20-minute walk from Newlyn and half an hour from Mousehole
  • Dog-friendly site five minutes’ drive from the South West Coast Path
Views? Yep. Characterful Cornish villages like Newlyn, Paul and Mousehole within walking distance? Trewarveneth Manor Farm Camping has those too. In fact, this small, family-friendly site has a lot to like, especially the spectacular views to Mount’s Bay and St Michael’s Mount just off the coast. If that’s not enough, there are sandy expanses 15 minutes’ drive away at Long Rock Beach, and local communities include Penzance, Marazion, Perranuthnoe and Porthleven, all much-loved destinations with lots of different offerings. The village of Paul, just 15 minutes’ stroll away across the fields, is home to a pub that serves excellent beer and food. That’s just the fuel you need for rural walks all within easy reach of Trewarveneth Manor Farm – any dogs you bring are likely to enjoy these routes too. There’s also a regular bus service from Mousehole to Newlyn and Penzance, if you want to take your adventures further afield and leave the car behind. Back at base, the site has portable toilets and shower facilities, as well as a washing-up area and drinking water, but no hot water and no electric hook-ups. Remember to bring torches to find your way around after dark.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Location, very close to the town but I had a car... walking up the hill would've not been good.
Had beautiful view of Penzance bay, can see St Michael's Mount. Was very quiet and peaceful. Completely level pitch and I could see the bay when I was standing up. Just turn up - no contact which sometimes is nice :)

Disliked: Toilet seat wasn't clean and I didn't feel comfortable using it nor the shower. I'm normally not too picky but I was only there one night so was not something I needed to do. I came on Sunday and so before the week so perhaps that might contribute to why.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Seemed like a decent-enough area - quite near Penzance.

Disliked: We arrived at this campsite during some poor weather before easter, and were very excited for the views depicted in the photos. Unfortunately, we could see nothing due to the drizzle / fog. More distressingly, however, the 'campsite' which was in fact just a large field, was a complete bog and the entire area was sodden, with absolutely no other campers or managers in sight. Our vehicle got stuck simply from stopping on the road leading to the field, as it sunk into the soft earth. We looked around and there were no ablutions showers anywhere, temporary or otherwise, nor was there any kind of water source. There was only a sign announcing the campsite, and a bin. We were unable to spend a night here, despite the long drive, and were very disappointed to have to drive home. I will be requesting a refund.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We really loved the simplicity of this site. The site is exactly as described. Hot water for washing up and lovely hot showers in an open trailer. Views were fab! Very close to Newlyn but felt that you were in the middle of nowhere with fab views of Saint Michaels Mount. Shaun was very informative and friendly. Keen to make sure we were settled well and knew where everything was. Thank you.

Disliked: Wish we had had less rain!

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: What a gem of a location - it felt like a sanctuary in the midst of the hordes of Tourists in other places around. We were in our element with an incredible view right over St Michaels Mount and greeted to a beautiful sunrise. A simple compost loo; (only used the showers built in a horsebox to wash our faces but the water hot). I loved that it didnt have many people there. Was the best part of our trip and would definately go back. This place is for those who love to be close to nature. If you are looking for fancy facilities this is not your place.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very friendly and helpful owner. Hot showers, washing up area, beautiful views over Mount’s Bay. Peaceful. Lots of room, minimum slope and shelter from the prevailing wind. Just the job for a weary bike packer.

Disliked: The rain when packing up!!!

Local attractions

It’s half an hour’s stroll to the picture-perfect fishing village of Mousehole, where you can take boat trips out along the Cornish coastline and lose yourself in the web of narrow streets lined with art galleries and cosy seafood restaurants. Marazion (15 minutes’ drive) is another lively coastal town with lots of indie shops; it’s also the jumping-off point for expeditions across the bay to St Michael’s Mount, the craggy islet topped by a medieval castle. If you’d rather explore by pedal power, cycle along the coastline between Marazion and Penzance (20 minutes’ by bike), or have a go at the scenic ride to Land’s End (55 minutes). And of course, long-distance hikers can jump on the South West Coast Path at Newlyn (five minutes’ drive). There’s plenty of culture to be had in this lively corner of Cornwall; book alfresco performances at The Minack Theatre (20 minutes), and if you hit a rainy day, grab tickets for the latest blockbuster at the cinema in Newlyn (five minutes). When you’ve got a good day, have a dawdle around the sub-tropical plantings at National Trust-owned Trengwainton Garden (10 minutes), or spot the art installations dotted around Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (15 minutes).
