  • Rural campsite in a rural setting overlooking Mount's Bay
  • Penzance 10 minutes' drive; St Ives a quarter of an hour
  • Dog-friendly campsite overlooking open countryside in Cornwall
Restful rural surroundings with an ancient village, castle and sea close by… that’s the lovely little mix at Garris Farm, a quiet and peaceful site on a hillside above the small village of Gulval in the far west of Cornwall. With views over Mount's Bay and spectacular vistas towards Penzance, this elevated site is an excellent spot for holidaying in one of the prettiest parts of the South West. Appreciate the relaxing surroundings and watch the night sky light up with stars, or take yourself out on active jaunts over the miles of local footpaths past church towers and old mine stacks that point to Cornwall's industrial heritage. The site has direct access to paths that lead from the farm to Gulval, Castle an Dinus and Chysauster Ancient Village, a late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement. The South West Coast Path is close too if you fancy some really splendid scenery, with seaside towns like Penzance and St Ives accessible in under a quarter of an hour's drive. The set-up at this simple farm site includes a running water tap, recycling bins and a toilet and shower block in the yard. Dogs are welcome here, as long as they are well-behaved and kept on leads at all times.

What customers say

This campsite boasts stunning views and a peaceful vibe. Guests loved the friendly owners and generally well-kept facilities. Some found pitches sloped & noted cool water at dish sinks, but exploring the area is a big plus.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Clean showers. Location - there are very, very few alternatives in the area.

Disliked I met no one in the reception at any moment. Facilities were scarce to say the least: showers, toilets, drinkable water, sockets for electricity and... that's it? No wifi.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked We had a wonderful stay at Garris Farm for our first camping trip. Nicola and her husband were friendly, welcoming and very helpful throughout our stay. The views were absolutely stunning, and the facilities were clean with lovely hot showers. We really liked how family-friendly, relaxed and peaceful the campsite was, which made it a great place to unwind and enjoy our first camping experience.

Disliked The only thing we didn’t like was that the farm is on a slight hill, which made sleeping a little unusual as we tended to roll down the bed, and it made cooking slightly more challenging. It can also get quite windy, However, none of this ruined our holiday at all; everything was very workable and we still had a fantastic stay. We would definitely recommend Garris Farm and would happily return.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Overall we couldn’t fault this campsite at all.
From the second we got on site the owner was kind and attentive and offered loads of things to do for our family as we have 2 dogs.
The campsite was lovely with a beautiful view of St Michael’s Mount and the sea. The pitches were a reasonable size and nobody was on top of each other or a disruption which was lovely.
The toilets and showers were incredibly clean and tidy and we saw the owner in there everyday cleaning them out.
We thought the location was great at first time visitors to Penzance and it was lovey to hear how the site has been in the owners family for some time.
The site was safe and perfect for children, dogs and families in general.

Disliked Not a dislike by any means but there is only one sink meaning everyone on site was battling to use it when finished in the loo or to brush teeth etc…

Local attractions

Dig up a little of Cornwall’s past… it’s easy to do so from this campsite. The Chysauster Ancient Village (roughly half an hour's walk) was full of farmers 2000 years ago, but now, you’ll get to look around the remaining village street, courtyard and thatched rooms. Then, make way to Marazion for St Michael's Mount (15 minutes' drive), where the tidal causeway leads the way to an old fortress… picnics on the front lawn, shopping or just learning the tales of the past make for a history-full afternoon out. Geevor Tin Mine (25 minutes) opens up the past Cornish copper mining history, but when you’re done with learning about history, there’s the Tate St Ives (15 minutes) for those art fans among you or the Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (10 minutes) for finely-fashioned exotic and sub-tropical gardens, an art gallery and sculpture garden. Off to other horizons… Penzance (10 minutes) is the place to go for ferries to the Isles of Scilly, while Mousehole (20 minutes) is a traditional fishing village and Land's End (30 minutes) has shopping and splendid scenery on the most southerly point in England.
