1/8

We are a small quirky campsite, just for adults, situate in the beautiful Pentewan Valley, close to Mevagissey. The site is in a sheltered sunny spot and picturesque area close to the beach. We are also ideally located for the Lost Gardens of Heligan which is within walking distance of the site. A short drive away is the Eden Project, and lots of other fabulous gardens. For walkers and cyclists, our site joins the Pentewan Valley Trail, and so you have fabulous walks and cycle tracks in all directions, including woodland, stream trails, and access to the beach & SW Coast Path. John's hearty breakfast baguettes are available, and can be delivered to your pitch.
