  • Secluded site with excellent views, set over two scenic acres
  • Within four miles of Falmouth, the River Fal and sandy beaches
  • Take the nature walk down the site valley through the bluebell wood
Many folk who come to Cornwall seek a base for its north and south. And secluded is often an option too, given how popular the place is in the summer months. Add both those wants to splendid surroundings, a view over a grand valley, and the peace of the Cornish countryside… and you get Menallack Farm Caravan and Camping Site. The owners rightfully point out that this is a very pretty part of Cornwall – and the site's rightly pretty too, set over two scenic acres with a nature walk down its valley, through Bluebell Wood and to a stream at the valley's bottom. Firepits are available near the pitching field and in the woods. There are also showers, toilets and a washing-up area. It's only two and a half miles from here to both Trebah Gardens and Glendurgan Gardens, three miles from the nearest beach, and within easy day trip distance of most towns, resorts and attractions on the north and south Cornish coasts. A farm shop two miles away from Menallack Farm stocks a good range of local fruit and veg, free-range meat and poultry, bread, Cornish milk, butter and cream, homemade pasties, pies, cakes and quite a bit more. Beyond that, Falmouth is four miles away for supermarkets and the like.

What customers say

Menallack Farm: a lovely, quiet spot with great views and welcoming owners. Pitches are roomy and level. Perfect for dogs and kids, with a rope swing and woods to explore. Some say the facilities need updating, and the roads are narrow. Many want to go back.

Liked Nawet nie wiem od czego zacząć. Opisuje tylko domek , co do przyczep i karawanów nie wiem jakie ma wyposazenie . Jak dotąd najlepsze miejsce na wypoczynek w jakim byliśmy . Lokalizacja Super ( jak dla nas) wszędzie w miarę blisko . Miejsce spokojne przyjazne jak i najmłodszym jak i najstarszych . Mieliśmy rezerwację w jednym z 2 drewnianych domków. Jest tam wszystko czego trzeba. W domku mała kuchenka i parę niezbędny nauczyć i garnków, jak trzeba to i obiad mozna ugotować. Nie trzeba brać ze sobą żadnego grila bo wszystko jest przed domem, palenisko na ognisko i grill przenośny. Łóżka w miarę wygodne , nie oczekiwaliśmy luksów, zależy kto co lubi. Są dodatkowe koce więc nawet jak pobyt zapowiada sie chłodniejszy to nie powinno wam być zimno. Zabraliśmy mnóstwo rzeczy bo jak dotąd gdzie nie byliśmy to trzeba bylo miec właśnie gril czy naczynia na ktorych mozna zjeść. Tutaj wszystko co niezbedne znajdziecie nawet WiFi. Naprawde polecam . Napewno kiedyś tu wrócimy. Cena tez przystępna jak na rodzinę z 2 dzieci.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked .

Disliked Pitch that I booked (through you) was supposed to be 12m x 10m. The pitch allocated was barely 4 m wide so that I could not park my vehicle alongside my tent as promised.
Main toilet block generally unclean, bins not emptied and toilet paper not replenished.

Mark W.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked The showers were the highlight of this site large glass sliding doors in a spacious room with a chair sink and toilet . Although i can see that only having 2 showers on site might be a problem if it gets really busy. The field was well kept and on the week I stayed was only 2 wasps big plus for me. Water taps were available all around the edges and power points were directly on the back of the pitch and the pitch numbers were clearly marked and i was greeted with a a friendly smile even though we arrived late at night.

Disliked The pitches weren't very level. The roads around the site are very narrow with passing places. And it's very hilly my car struggled in some parts to get around

Camping pod

Liked Avons passé 3 jours et nuitées en famille de quatre sur Août 2025
Très Bon accueil dans le camping. On nous a offert une bouteille de lait de la ferme et un set de bois avec des shamallows ! Wifi fourni sur place.
Le pod est formidable et très bien situé avec un évier, une gazinière 2 feux et de la vaisselle. Literie très agréable.
La table dehors, le BBQ et le brasier (qui peut aussi servir de BBQ) permettent de passer des soirées au coin du feu très sympas.
On recommande donc ce concept qui permet de profiter d'un camping en pleine nature avec un bon confort.

Disliked Camping un peu perdu. Mais en Cornouailles c'est normal et ça permet d'avoir cette belle vue sur un paysage de nature
