  • 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

This neat, peaceful working farm campsite boasts cracking sea and country views. Guests raved about the spacious, clean, modern loos, friendly hosts and handy farm shop. Polperro walk is steep, but location's great for exploring. Access roads are narrow but okay with care.

Unpowered grass site

Liked The toilet block is very clean and spacious. The pitches are spacious, laid back site with a lovely little site shop. Friendly owners who will help you out and the amenities such as charging electrical things, ice blocks etc, are all provided.

Disliked The site can be a bit tricky to find. The toilet cubicle has a shower in it too, so at busy times you might have to wait if you just need the toilet if the showers are busy.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Had a fab stay. Lovely peaceful campsite. Like others have said, the burgers from the freezer in the shop are delicious! Liked that the showers/toilets are individual bathrooms. It’s a fair walk down to polperro but if you drive the only car park is a good 15 min walk into the village. The car park is also EXTORTIONATE and only takes cash so be warned!

Disliked Could do with a few more showers and the ones that are there could do with a bit of TLC. Wouldn’t stop me coming back though.

Powered grass site

Liked Excellent communication from site, with clear instructions on how to get there , what is essential for those driving large vehicles, follow these instructions and your arrival will be straight forward and stress free.
The site is well maintained and we had great sea views,
The town is 1/2 mile down the lane , but not for the unfit , it is a steep hill, so some might require a taxi back , but in fairness I’m 60 and my wife has a dodgy hip , but we still managed to do both ways 3 times.
Greatly enjoyed our stay , 🙂👍

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.
