Penhallow Campsite

No availability at present on Pitchup.com 9.6 5 reviews

Spacious bell tents at a family-run glampsite in Mount Hawke
A 10-minute drive from Chapel Porth beach and Trevaunance Cove
Picnic table and firepit for each tent; camping stoves welcome

Comfy stays in the Cornwall countryside – and close to the coastline too? Bank on that sort break at the spacious, family-run Penhallow Campsite. On the edge of the village of Mount Hawke and 15 minutes’ drive from Truro, this glampsite has a rather delicious selection of scenic walks or bike rides locally… Or you could take the 10-minute drive up to the north Cornwall coast for strolls on the South West Coast Path and beach days at Porthtowan or Chapel Porth. Having the village centre 10 minutes’ walk away is pretty convenient too – it’s easy to wander on down to the café, convenience store or bus stop easily enough (and there’s an excellent skate park there too). Back at base, you’ll be staying in spacious and well-furnished bell tents with space for two adults and two children (in a full-size double bed and two futon mattresses). You’ll need to bring along bedding and towels, but much else is provided – including rugs to keep things cosy underfoot. Alfresco dinners (with gorgeous rural views) are all part of the attraction here, and they should be easy enough to sort out as each tent has its picnic bench and a firepit for you to create your meals. You're also welcome to bring your own camping stove if you need it. Shared toilet and shower facilities are close to the tents, and there’s also a play area where kids can have a bit of a run about.

Bell tent (no pets)

Liked Me and my son recently stayed at penhallow for 4 nights at the end of the summer holidays.

We really enjoyed our stay. The bell tent was spacious and the double bed was very comfy. We had some very windy weather and very heavy downpours and no issues with the tent at all.

Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Fore pit for evenings and girls you can pop over the top to cook on were great.

Showers were lovely and hot and toilets were clean.

Location - a couple of miles away from the a30 so can travel in any direction with ease. Down a gravelling road away from main road so lovely and peaceful.

Me and my son both enjoyed our stay and would happily come back.

And hopefully we will!
