Menagwins Farm

View prices & book Last booked 2 hours ago 9.2 78 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 on tap

Gather a group, round up the family or whisk your partner away for an eco-friendly break at Menagwins Farm, a family-run campsite in the Pentewan Valley. Surrounded by the Cornwall countryside and woodlands, this family- and dog-friendly site is just outside the Cornwall National Landscape and has views towards the local tin mines. Here, you’ll be well-based for cycling, walking or just kicking back for a bit. To the sea you go… it’s a 45-minute walk (or a 20-minute bicycle ride) down to Pentewan, where activities include pottering around the cafés and shops or claiming space on the beach. Take your pick from several more coastal spots nearby: Porthpean beach (a 45-minute walk or half an hour's cycle), Charlestown harbour (topsail schooners and tall ships are the speciality here) and Mevagissey harbour are all close by – some of them with places to hire out a paddleboard, kayak or boat. The farm entrance also links up with the Pentewan Trail and there’s a public footpath through the farm towards 330 miles of coastal paths. A farm dedicated to both agriculture and nature, the land is well maintained and structures are kept to a minimum on site, so facilities are simple and include composting toilets, a cold shower and natural spring water on tap. The spacious pitches all have a small parking space too. For handy eats, you can take your pick from several restaurants, takeaways and pubs nearby, including a traditional 16th-century pub five minutes’ drive away and dining down at the harbour.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really excellent value for money . Campsite is clean, well maintained and great location.
Would be a ten but for two things - would be great to have a simple solar heater or something just for the washing up (cold shower was actually lovely so I don't feel that needs heating) .
Also the campsite is advertised as being quiet which it is in terms of people but there is a low humming noise constantly (maybe a factory/farm or something) which was a bit annoying until you block it out by getting used to it. Just a bit of a shame on such a lovely quiet site

Liked We greatly appreciate the bell tent. Daisy has been exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the serene environment, which brought us closer to nature.

The children also delighted in playing football, as the expansive field provided ample space for their activities.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely campsite with walking distance to the beach.
I would imagine it to be quiet when not in the holidays
We tried the cold fresh water shower and it was surprisingly refreshing. Not sure it would work in the colder months!
Compost toilets were also clean and no bad smells which was a surprise
Liked that the campsite owner regularly drove round the site to do checks.
Good location

Disliked The fairy lights in the loos were not working so unless you took a torch with you, the toilet was out of bounds at night.
No hand sanitizer in the loo
The drive into the campsite wasn’t great- lots of potholes
The pitches were slanted so chocks are an absolute must for campers and motorhomes.
I ended up having to move my campervan due to some young travellers who pitched their tents within 6 foot of my van, they then proceeded to squawk, and make so much noise that it wasn’t very restful. Very irritating that they were being visited by those who weren’t paying to stay there- which made the noise level unbearable.
The grass could be cut back and removed for the pop up campsite.

Liked Beautiful scenery. Friendly, helpful host. Clean basic facilities provided. Dog friendly. Child friendly. My 15yo daughter enjoyed the space on this site. Basic campsite close to many places of interest.

I'm in two minds as to whether I would stay here again. I would stay again if I was visiting nearby places of interest. I liked that is was dog friendly. Not many campsites allow more than two dogs. Then there's the dislikes.....

Disliked I was really disappointed to find that the campsite is just above a sewage treatment work. Despite the beautiful scenery, I couldn't help but think of the sewage treatment centre hiding behind some trees. I understand that this is no fault of the owner of this campsite, but I would have liked to be made aware of this beforehand to save that disappointment when we arrived.

The site is also extremely overpriced.
