Great views from the site (added by manager 19 Aug 2022)

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.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Views of the sea, and fabulous views of the harvest moonrise. Polperro is walkable down a very steep hill. Coast path accessible from Polperro to Talland Bay and Looe. You can return by the efficient bus service if you decide to not walk back. The facilities on site were reasonably new and acceptably clean. There is a small shop on site too. The owners were available and helpful via mobile phone. As it wasn't busy we were able to stay on the field with EHU for the views as the non EHU field did not have sea views.

Disliked: Nothing.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Lovely campsite and good facilities. Really good location. Getting to the campsite can be quite challenging if you are in a large vehicle as it’s one lane and if you’re coming from the town end, hilly! Nevertheless, a really fab campsite and worth a stay.

Disliked: The roads getting to the campsite but welcome to Cornwall! 😆

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.
