  • 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: Peaceful rural getaway, friendly owners, clean facilities, spacious pitches. Dog/kid-friendly with rope swing & woods. Great for exploring Cornwall, but roads are narrow. Some want updated facilities. Most want to return.

Emily M.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Nice big field, washrooms were clean with good hot showers. There’s 2 toilet blocks. Quiet, very remote location. Little kitchen.

Disliked We pitched up in the dark, but no one was there to greet us, also we didn’t know where we were booked to pitched. We just saw a couple of notice signs on the board of the camp site.

Good site, loved every minute there.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice welcome as we arrived, spacious pitch for van and awning with a bedroom on the side. Our Granddaughter who is 17 months loved all the space to run around in. Showers and toilets were pleasant as well, the owners are very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Had a great time there.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Everything, location was great, lovely campsite, friendly owners and was pleasantly surprised when we arrived for the price. Plenty of toilets that were always clean and showers were great me and my 2 daughters all with long hair showered 1 after the other and the temperature remained the same. Kids had fun on air hockey, football and badminton while we cooked or washed up. My daughter loved the pigs and chickens on site. We were checked in on almost daily to make sure our stay was enjoyable. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Olivia D.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great place: showers and toilets very well maintained, cleaned and stocked up. The location of the pitch was perfect, in the sun and we had our own bench too. The location of the camper site was perfect. Will 100% be back!

Disliked The pitch numbering in the "electric field” could be done as we found it hard locating our pitch (even with the map at the front). No phone signal
