So much space for families to play and meet new friends

  • Spacious unallocated pitches suitable for families, groups and dogs
  • Near to the South West Coast Path, beaches and attractions
  • Campfires and groups welcome; enclosed dog exercise field on site
To list the excellent pursuits that can be sought out from Lamarth Farm Campsite would take some time: coastal walks, cycling trails, National Trust beaches or clifftops, Poldark locations, mining trails, castles and activities such as surfing, paddleboarding, fishing, horse riding, coasteering and golfing… That’s partly down to the fact that this family-run farm site’s patch of land is at the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula. It's a simple and uncomplicated place surrounded by Cornish countryside and run by Rachel, Luke and the boys. Take in the valley views across Mounts Bay while cradling a hot choc or a glass of wine by the campfire. The pitch sizes are unrestricted, so there’s plenty of space to unwind, and well-behaved dogs are very welcome (four can join you for free, and you can add extras if you have a multi-dog group). There’s a designated enclosed dog exercise field, three dog-friendly beaches a short drive away and a great dog-friendly pub in Gunwalloe village, five minutes' drive away. Don’t worry on the food front either. Ice cream and pasties are easy to find locally, and there are shops in Helston, Mullion and Mawgan for essentials. Facilities are kept to just the basics with a clean and well-maintained male shower block and a female shower block with baby changing facilities. There are two partially covered sinks for washing up, a fridge-freezer for ice packs and other bits and sockets for charging battery packs. The large grass field also has a central recreational area for kids to run around, fly a kite or play games. Lamarth Farm is a working farm, so expect to see and hear lots of tractors (just don’t enter the yard area). There’s no livestock, but there are some chickens, pygmy goats and ducks, so fresh eggs are available to purchase at the top of the lane daily. You may also see helicopters and gliders passing overhead from the nearby naval base.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Really enjoyed the freedom to arrive with a small group of other families, and set up our own little area so we could get a campfire on together without annoying everybody.

Owners were nice and friendly, and the site itself was lovely, with some football goals and other stuff for the kids to muck about with.

It’s a great idea, as it’s the perfect middle-ground for me - I don’t want to go camping and be told exactly where to put my tent and not a foot outside it, nor do I want to be cramped in, but I do want showers and toilets, and the charging points and access to a shared fridge freezer was just the right addition.

We’d come back, for sure.

Evania bell tent (four person)

Liked Amazing site, loved the space and the view, it also has a lovely community vibe where kids can come together and play. The charging points are very handy. Toilets and showers are clean.

Disliked There are only 2 showers in the ladies so sometimes there's a wait but it didn't affect me much.

Kay P. 2 reviews

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We loved the level of the field, the secure dog paddock and the friendliness of Luke and Rachel.
The toilet blocks were clean and smelt lovely, and everything was covered, right down to tampons and pads (this couple really do go the extra mile)

We had a lovely couple of nights, and booked to return for 3 nights on Sugust bank holiday while we were there.

We took a small camper and awning, and our group was 2 parents, an 18 Yr old and our 2 dogs.

It was peaceful, relaxing, and certainly a site we will be returning to for short weekends away.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would definitely go back if in the area again!

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We loved the humungous dog exercise area and the clean shower/ toilet facilities. We also loved the small touches such as the wetsuit washing area and the large array of different bins, for general, recycling, fire pit and dog bags. It was also very easy to find, as it was signposted well, and doesn’t require going down small country lanes to get there. The star gazing at the campsite was also superb!

Loved everything, great facilities also!…

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved this site - it was not too busy, very peaceful and great amenities. Toilets and showers were kept nice and clean and showers were lovely and warm. Location is great for exploring the lizard peninsula. Having access to a freezer was great for cooling ice blocks. We will return!

Disliked No shops nearby for basics, eg bread and milk

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We really loved this campsite and highly recommend it! The children's play area is excellent, and it is very pet-friendly—dogs are allowed, and there are even friendly animals on site. The pitches are great and kept very clean. Having access to a fridge was a big plus, and the toilets and showers were clean with plenty of hot water. A fantastic place to stay for families and dog owners!

Disliked None

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Chilled, choose you own pitch, plenty of space, added extras such as coffee van and food van visits.
Clean shower and toilet block.
Charging facilities and fridge freezers, toys for kids to play on field. Welcoming owner.
Excellent location for visiting lizard area but also not too far to travel for other areas of Cornwall.

Disliked Slight slant to the ground but didn’t affect our sleep.

The site is located right next to the navy helicopter base. Sometimes trying to relax in an evening and had very loud helicopters running nearby for long periods of time.
