Gwel-an-Nans Farm

This was our first time camping and was a very enjoyable experience. We initially booked for three nights, then extended to a week. The site is small, only nine pitches, with plenty of space between and is located in a very calm farming area. We had an electric hook-up which worked very well and there were also water taps spread throughout the site. Each pitch has its own movable picnic bench. There are rubbish bins for glass, paper, BBQ ash etc. Even when full, yes this happened even in September, the site was quiet. All those involved with the site were great, coming around in the morning to check all was ok and giving bits of advise and day trip ideas -- nothing was too much trouble. Fresh-cooked pasties and pizzas are available to order, and fire-pits are available for hire with wood etc. Limited numbers of showers, toilets, washing-up etc which are just enough when the site is full. Shared fridge, freezer and washing machines are available. No Wifi, but the mobile signal is good. Close to Bodmin with its full range of very good supermarkets plus local shops. Handily placed for both coasts and for a day trip to Land's End etc.

No dislikes. It was a bit hard to find using gps, however, and so get the exact coordinates. This is a basic campsite, don't expect five-star luxury, but it is an excellent choice for a restful countryside break.

Very nice site
Wonderful people greeted us
To show us around even though we were very late

Excellent campsite. Very clean, great facilities including free / hot showers! Lovely host.

Nothing.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gwel-an-nans. It is a lovely quiet site with level pitches and the owners were very friendly. The tent pitches have a lovely view of the rolling fields and donkeys. The toilets and showers were always clean. During busy times there is an additional unisex disabled toilet. Fire pits were available to hire - it would have been good if there was a set price per night hire regardless of whether you hire a fire pit every night. Pasties and sausage rolls are available to buy. It would also be good if there was an honesty type system with local farm produce e.g sausages, bacon, eggs for camping breakfasts. We hope to return soon!

One male toilet and shower, and one female toilet and shower. During busy periods this may mean that you have to wait to use the facilities.

Everything!!! Really good quiet location, superb owner. She showed us around and really friendly.
Pizza cooked, firepit bought with marshmallows. Its the extras that really make the difference. Great value for money.
Lovely and clean facilities. We've stayed in a few this past two weeks and this was definitely up there, if not the best.
Would most definitely recomend. Had a really homely feel.

Leaving the site

Lovely site, wept, quiet, peaceful. Very nice touches here as well (fridge freezer came in really handy), facilities fastidiously clean and tidy. Staff very helpful, friendly and talkative. This is a wonderful site.
