What customers say
Penwarne Farm Campsite is lauded for beautiful views, roomy spots, and a tranquil vibe. Staff are often called friendly and helpful, and the location is great for local exploring. While it's a natural, relaxed site, some find the facilities basic. Minor notes mention occasional facility cleanliness issues and bin availability. A solid choice for a quiet escape.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Overall a great campsite but rough and ready facilities.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Horses and sheep were beautiful to see in the morning. Plenty of place to pitch and lively atmosphere in the evenings.
Children acitivity structure, options of using the fridge/freezer, washing machine, sinks to wash up were all good.
Area was safe and friendly. Lots of families and young groups present, shows it is afforable and meets the requirements of a diverse group.
Disliked Facilities need updating and maintained more regularly.

Primitive grass campsite

Disliked Very basic and minimal:
No lights in the toilet cubicles
Not enough toilets and showers
Shower very basic, push button
Not always warm water
Full of spiders and cobwebs
Rowdy guests partying until 3am
Playground broken and falling apart
Rubbish everywhere
No hot water in the dish wash area
No cafe or shop
No staff apart from daily loo clean
Rubbish bins full to bursting
Facilities too basic for the number of people on site. Needs major investment.

Terrible
Powered grass campsite
Liked Unfortunately we only have one positive comment to make and that was the position of the site for great scenic walks .
Disliked No campsite staff seen anywhere at all.
Cleanliness of toilets and shower block very poor .
All outdoor buildings need updating or knocking down .
Because of unsupervised check ins ,the campers were making their own boundaries of pitch size .
The campers next to our pitch even had their fire pit and barbecue right on the edge of our pitch even had,which was a potential fire hazard to our camper van .We had to move it over thus making no where for out chairs and picnic table or awning .When we mentioned this to the campers ,they did not speak English and instead turned on their car radio and left the doors open and engine running .So obviously knew we weren’t happy and obviously trying to annoy us .
