  • Quiet family-run site on a working farm a mile from Polperro
  • A 10-minute drive to Looe and Lantic Bay; 40 minutes to Eden Project
  • Dog-friendly pitches with stunning views of the Cornish coast
A big choice of bays and a prime spot on a working farm above the historic fishing village of Polperro… that’s what you get at Great Kellow Farm, a family-friendly, dog-friendly site with the gorgeous Cornwall countryside scenery all around and sea views from its location high above the village. That mix of coast and country is excellent for walkers too – there are plenty of places to stroll nearby, including the South West Coast Path, which can be picked up less than a mile away in Polperro. It’s a short stroll down a steep hill to the village for pubs, restaurants, cafés, a shop and a bakery. (Many guests walk down and get a taxi back up – speak to site staff and they can recommend a taxi company.) If you’re keen to see more of the Cornish coast (and you should be, because it’s pretty spectacular) you can also get to places like Looe, Polruan and Lantic Bay within 15 minutes’ drive, or cast your net further to get to Fowey, 40 minutes away. Turning your attention inland, meanwhile, days out might take you to Lanhydrock House, Adrenalin Quarry or the famed biomes of the Eden Project. Facilities on site are low key but well kept: there’s a smart modern bathroom block with hot showers, family bathrooms and baby changing, plus plenty of other handy things including multiple water points, a recycling facility and a freezer for ice packs.

What customers say

Top spot Kellow Farm is a tidy, peaceful farm campsite with bonza country & sea views. Visitors rave about the clean facilities, especially the roomy showers. Great for Polperro, but that hill back's a killer! Farm shop's a winner. Narrow roads, but the chill vibe & friendly owners make for a ripper stay. Keen to come back!

Liked Fantastic location with coast walks and sea view. 10 minute walk to Polperro and we even attempted a hike to Looe. Facilities are basic and clean with showers, charging points and drinking water. There’s a little farm shop on site with essentials, logs and fire pits.

Liked Very nice site friendly owners and a short walk into Polperro. Wet rooms were kept tidy. Showers adjustable for heat so water was plentiful and hot.
We stayed in the second field with an electric hook up and a nice view out to see. We sat and watched the fishing boat lights into the night.
A mix of people all mutually respectful and enjoying the peace. Definitely visit again.

Liked This was a l lovely campsite. Enough space for the children to run around.
The showers were brilliant, as I was travelling with two younger children and the space was easy enough to take them in with me . It was very clean and well equipped. Nice little shop and the owners were lovely and gave some good tips about the local beaches.

Liked Quiet and peaceful great burgers and sausages for a bbq. Would definitely stay again and an easy (harder back up) walk into the village of Polperro.

Disliked But a dislike but it would be handy to have done more separate toilets as when showers were being used you had to wait just to pop to the toilet. The drive to the campsite is scary!! Very small lanes with few passing places. Go slow!!

Liked View to die for and very spacious pitches. The owners were very friendly and the little shop has everything essential you need. Shower block was always clean and never struggled for hot water or waiting around for a shower.

Disliked Walk back up from Polperro is abit steep but you can always get a taxi for about £6.

Liked Had an amazing time at great Kellow farm. As a female solo camper. I felt very safe , it was lovely to see all the animals. The owners were lovely and if there was any problem they would sort it out asap. Lovely little shop on site with amazing ice cream. Shower blocks were lovely and big and clean . Will definitely be back. 😀

Local attractions

So, the seaside has caught your eye. It’s no surprise, because there’s a lot of that around this area, and a real load of activities. Your nearest beach days include Looe (10 minutes’ drive), where there’s crabbing and sandcastle crafting to get stuck into, Talland Bay (10 minutes), a quieter place for swimming, and Lansallos beach (10 minutes) with some splendid coastal walks around it. Lantic Bay (10 minutes) is a nice way to round off your seaside adventures, as is joining in with the fishing in Fowey (40 minutes), before moving onto the big activity centre at Adrenalin Quarry (25 minutes). The big question there is ziplining, go-karting or the inflatable assault course? Feeling like some nature or wildlife too? Porfell Wildlife Park & Sanctuary (15 minutes) is one of the closest spots to the site, while the Eden Project (40 minutes) has rainforest biomes further out. You might want to see Lanhydrock House and Garden (half an hour), a Victorian country house with some spectacular gardens, or the three-acre Hidden Valley Gardens (35 minutes) too.
