Menagwins Farm

View prices & book Last booked 4 hours ago 9 96 reviews

Family- and dog-friendly site with views of the Cornwall countryside
Walking distance from the beach; a 15-minute drive to the Eden Project
Links to trails and footpaths; pub nearby; natural spring water

Escape to Menagwins Farm, a relaxed, dog-friendly and family-run site in the scenic Pentewan Valley. Surrounded by sloping Cornish countryside and woodland, with views towards historic tin mines, this eco-friendly site is a peaceful place to slow down and spend some time in nature. On clear nights, the dark skies make for excellent stargazing, with little light pollution and plenty of space to sit back and look up. The farm is dedicated to both agriculture and wildlife, and it's common to spot a good variety of birds, deer and other local wildlife moving through the fields and hedgerows. The coast is temptingly close. A scenic 45-minute walk or an easy 20-minute cycle is all it takes to reach Pentewan beach, cafés, pubs and shops. Porthpean beach, Charlestown harbour (host to many a film and series, including Poldark) and the fishing village of Mevagissey are all within a 10-minute drive of the site, with chances for paddleboarding, kayaking or hiring a boat. Stroll onto the Pentewan Trail directly from the farm entrance, or follow footpaths that link up with Cornwall’s extensive coastal path network. Back on site, facilities are simple and thoughtfully designed; there are composting toilets, a refreshing cold shower and natural spring water. Local pubs, takeaways and harbourfront restaurants are just a short drive away, including a traditional 16th-century village pub five minutes' drive from the farm.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, basic campsite with friendly and helpful owners, praised for its eco-friendly vibe and stunning views. Visitors appreciate the clean composting toilets and refreshing cold showers, though some note the showers are only for the brave. The sloping field is a recurring point, with levellers recommended. Its location is excellent for exploring the area, with easy access to walks, beaches, and attractions. The site offers good value for money.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice picturesque and peaceful field. Toilets and showers were clean. Plenty of space and not too crowded.

Disliked Can’t be helped but field is mostly on a slope (not ideal for tents) and not much shade to seek in this hot weather.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Warm welcome ,you can find your own spot and pitch up ,back too basic camping and that is very underrated reminded me of my childhood.

Disliked Peep holes in compost toilet ,felt a.bit vulnerable at night that people coming back at night drove around the field no clear drive path and with people just turning up and.pitching meant drivers have too be especially carefull ,one driver turned around near my tent and got a.bit close that is a personal opinion and nobody else may have noticed.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Quiet with plenty of space. Mainly adults as compost toilets & basic cold showers prob not for families.

Disliked Sloping ground everywhere - not impossible with Motorhome ramps but guessing tents would have to be selective
Only having the 2 compost toilets might be interesting if it had been busier
