Gear Farm Camping

Small, family-run site in the Cornish countryside
A mile and a half from the Helford river; Lizard 20 minutes' drive
Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Gear Farm is a small, family-run site and a top location for a peaceful camping holiday. Set in the remote Cornish countryside, the site is a paradise for walkers, fans of the outdoors and those keen to try watersports. This pet-friendly organic farm is located about a mile and a half from the Helford river and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there are many scenic spots to explore all around. Back at base, there is plenty of space for you and your family to roam around and play games. The site is open and flat, so you can rest assured that the kids will be in sight at all times. Stunning sandy beaches are only 20 minutes away by car, and a choice of supermarkets is available in the medium-sized town of Helston (15 minutes). There is also a village shop a five-minute drive away in Mawgan, as well as a seasonal farm shop for fresh produce. Gear Farm also produces its own line of tasty traditional Cornish pasties if you fancy a hot bite to eat on site.
