Menagwins Farm

View prices & book Last booked 10 hours ago 9.2 87 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 Open field camping, great size pitches and totally taking it back to basics.

Good facilities of two compost toilets, two fresh water showers and washing up facilities. Local information board and the availability of hiring a fire pit and purchasing logs for £5 a bag.

Owners always on hand in needed and Daisy did a brilliant job of making sure everyone was well looked after.

Great location to Mevagissey and The Pentewan Valley Trail is right at the bottom of the campsite for walking or cycling.

Liked Absolutely fantastic little field. Minutes away from local cycle paths and walks. Only ten minutes walk from town 30 minutes from the beach. Very cheap and pet friendly

Disliked Cold showers, and the lane in was very potholed for a car

Liked Camping Review – Menagwins Farm

We had a wonderful week camping at Menagwins Farm. Daisy was a fantastic host, warm and welcoming, and the site itself is beautiful and peaceful. We were treated to some amazing moonlit nights during our stay.

The facilities were excellent – very clean compost toilets and brilliant showers with plenty of space. A truly relaxing spot to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.

Highly recommended!

Liked Quiet site, lovely owners, site very clean and staff come to check on site a few times a day. Even though the toilet is a compost toilet they don't smell like I expected. Partner used the cold shower and said it was refreshing especially when the weather was hot.
