  • 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.

What customers say

Tranquil, tidy farm campsite with amazing countryside/sea views. Guests loved the spacious pitches, spotless wet rooms & farm shop. Charming Polperro is a steep walk away. Friendly owners highly praised. Narrow access roads typical for Cornwall.

Liked The view was astounding, the showers, toilets and kitchenette areas were spotless. Working farm which was wonderful, half hour walk into polperro (not for the faint hearted if walking back up Cardiac Hill!!) excellent place to wind down and relax, dog friendly. Even the sheep wanted to say hello!! Loved it here and would definitely come again.
The owner sends you directions to follow as opposed to the sat nav. Follow them!! We walked the way the sat nav would've directed you and if you are in anything bigger than a car you have no chance. There are lots of tight country roads (as you would expect) but plenty of passing places.
Taxi rode into Looe. We used chariots of hire… dog friendly and reasonably priced.

Disliked The only negative I could find was the electric pitches facing the sea were too close to each other, the pitches that run along the sides of the field have more space between.

Kim M. 1 review

Unpowered grass site

Liked Peaceful and very spacious, great views, not too big (about 60 vans/tents over 2 fields), friendly and laid back hosts, dog friendly, good mini shop selling the farm's meat etc., good hot unisex showers, easy 25min walk to Polperro and bus stop, surrounded by the sheep and cows of the farm.

Disliked Lacks individual toilets as most of them are inside wet rooms and so are occupied for long periods by people showering.
And be aware, vehicle access is round the country lanes from Pelynt and not from Polperro direction, (not a problem, but add the extra 10mins to your journey).

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.
