What customers say
Penwarne Farm Campsite is praised for stunning views, spacious pitches & peaceful atmosphere. Guests loved the friendly staff & great location. While natural & relaxed, facilities are basic. Minor points included cleanliness & bin availability. Good value for a quiet getaway.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Lovely views
Large pitches
Laundrette facilities
Disliked No reception ( didn’t see the text message from owners till 4 days in), even then still had no idea who owners were.
Showers and toilets need an upgrade, think the men’s were better than the ladies.
Play area seen better days, kids reported nails sticking out.
Saw pictures on web site showing a cafe, sadly that wasn’t there. Just a huge empty building.
Elson point awful.
Tap water area awful, muddy.

Liked Fantastic views and location.
Disliked It is starting to become a little tired in the washing and toilet areas. That being said, it has everything we needed and was a decent shower for a camp site, good power and temperature. The children's play area is also becoming a little tired, but it was nice that there was one!

Level pitches Very quiet Nice views Friendly staff
Powered grass campsite
Liked This is a really quiet campsite, even with pitches half full it was peaceful and each pitch has plenty of space. Taxi services are quick if you want to head into Falmouth. Nicola was super friendly when we txt her to see if we could arrive a little earlier. Basic showers and toilet facilities- if you’re after luxury this isn’t for you. Overall I’d say for a couple of nights this is perfect for a quiet get away
Disliked Facilities are really basic but it’s not advertised as anything else so not a complaint

Will return to camp site but will avoid A2b taxis
Powered grass campsite
Liked Camp site was lovely. Pitches well.marjed out and very good size. Facilities were good.
Disliked We booked A2b taxis as this was the taxi advertised at campsite. Outward journey was ok but homeward journey very poor, dangerous fast driving down lanes. Driver took us wrong way and doubled our fare due to this.

Excellent sire with lovely staff and amazing views
Powered grass campsite
Liked Very good site with excellent views and the staff couldn't be more helpful and excellent size pitches
Disliked Not as much a dislike but think the toilets and showers could do with being updated as showers didn't stay on very long so had to keep clicking the button and could do with a revamp was the only negative we could find but even then they were kept nice and clean
