  • Dog-friendly pop-up site on the edge of Paul village in Cornwall
  • A 20-minute walk from Mousehole and half an hour from Newlyn
  • Off-grid and eco-friendly; pub five minutes' walk and beach 25 minutes
There are so many footpaths to follow from Kesoberi Community Farm that it’s no wonder the owners encourage you to turn up car-free or leave your vehicle behind at the site when it's time to explore. Set on the edge of the Cornish village of Paul, this off-grid pop-up site is within five minutes’ walk of the pretty village church and pub and also within walking distance of beaches, Mousehole, Penzance and Newlyn. Reach the harbour village of Mousehole in 25 minutes directly along a quiet lane or take a footpath with stunning views past a little stream known as Tumble Tyn. In the other direction and along another quiet lane is the fishing village of Newlyn (half an hour’s walk), with Penzance a bit further on (50 minutes’ walk or 10 minutes’ drive). If you want to skip the steep hill on the way back, simply take one of the regular buses to the top of the slope. Kesoberi Community Farm has 20 acres of land, which is being developed as a long-term community and ecological project. For years, the land was farmed intensively and polluted with pesticides and so on, so after planting thousands of trees (with more in line), the recovery is in full swing. On site, soak up the distant sea views of Mount’s Bay. From the large car park, there are wheelbarrows to help you cart your things around. The basic, off-grid facilities include composting loos and a gas-powered shower. Families and dogs are welcome, and you also have the green light to set up a fire or barbecue within a contained firepit. More car-free perks: as well as the regular buses from Penzance and Newlyn, there is an open-top bus that shuttles people around West Penwith and a train station in Penzance. A Newlyn beach (popular with locals) is 25 minutes’ walk away across the fields.

What customers say

Idyllic spot, stunning sea views. Bell tents boast privacy & spotless facilities with hot showers. Spacious pitches, friendly owners. Mostly great, though some found it basic with nettles. Short stroll to Mousehole.

Chris D.

Clover non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very peaceful stay - stayed in the top field with a cracking view of the Mount bay.Cracking pub in the 5minute walk to the village (found a short cut home so take a torch) Richard on site was very friendly/helpful
Good clean red hot shower in a field which still brings a smile to my face and who doesn’t enjoy throwing sawdust over your poo!
10/10 and definitely returning next year!

Alexandra D.

Clover non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location for nearby villages & pubs, the view from the top field, shower and toilets. Warm welcome.

Disliked No dislikes however there are still small nettles and thistle weeds in the field so caution and footware for children recommend. The toilets are compost toilets and whilst they take some adjusting to, they are far less smelly then most sites with regular toilets.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Perfect base for beaches and walks, with stunning views and clean loos

Verity E.

Clover non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked • Gorgeous views (especially from Buttercup Field).
• Perfect location for visiting Mousehole, Minack Theatre, Lamorna Cove and beaches.
• Compost loos and showers were always clean and well kept.
• Family and dog friendly.
• Great nearby finds – we especially enjoyed Gwynver (best with a dog), Praa Sands, Sennen Cove, Porthcurno (before 10am or after 6pm), and even a Thai takeaway near Lamorna

Disliked • Had to clear a few thistles from our pitch.
• Would be even better with more showers, especially in Buttercup Field.

Yarrow non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Sea views, wildlife, walking distance to Newlyn and Mousehole. Well maintained compost loos with simple instructions for those that don't know how to use them. Plenty of space to choose your own pitch. Tall hedges to hold back the wind. Friendly greeting from the couple running the site.

Disliked Nothing, we hope to come back sometime soon.

Liked Peaceful site, sea views from top field, back to basic camping with hot shower. Walking routes nearby, pub nearby with good food. Very friendly helpful owners. Outside Newlyn/Penzance but close enough to walk.

Local attractions

Make your way to Mousehole (25 minutes’ walk) to swim from the harbour, browse the cafés and shops or take a dip in the seawater Mousehole Rock Pool. Another local spot is Newlyn (half an hour along the roads or 15 minutes over the fields), where there are shops, galleries, a film house, a sandy beach and an outdoor sauna on Newlyn Green. Just a little further out is Penzance (10 minutes’ drive) and its outdoor pool. From Penzance, there are many boat trips to the Isles of Scilly or with fishing and wildlife watching themes. Gorgeous Marazion (20 minutes) and the famed St Michael's Mount sitting at the end of the causeway should be worth your while too. Stop by Marazion beach for paddleboarding or kayaking with a view you surely won’t forget anytime soon. Perhaps fill in any spare hours with trips to Lamorna Cove Beach (10 minutes), Carn Euny Ancient Village (15 minutes), The Minack Theatre, Land's End (20 minutes) and Sennen Cove (20 minutes).
