  • Rural campsite in a rural setting overlooking Mount's Bay
  • Penzance 10 minutes' drive; St Ives a quarter of an hour
  • Dog-friendly campsite overlooking open countryside in Cornwall
Restful rural surroundings with an ancient village, castle and sea close by… that’s the lovely little mix at Garris Farm, a quiet and peaceful site on a hillside above the small village of Gulval in the far west of Cornwall. With views over Mount's Bay and spectacular vistas towards Penzance, this elevated site is an excellent spot for holidaying in one of the prettiest parts of the South West. Appreciate the relaxing surroundings and watch the night sky light up with stars, or take yourself out on active jaunts over the miles of local footpaths past church towers and old mine stacks that point to Cornwall's industrial heritage. The site has direct access to paths that lead from the farm to Gulval, Castle an Dinus and Chysauster Ancient Village, a late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement. The South West Coast Path is close too if you fancy some really splendid scenery, with seaside towns like Penzance and St Ives accessible in under a quarter of an hour's drive. The set-up at this simple farm site includes a running water tap, recycling bins and a toilet and shower block in the yard. Dogs are welcome here, as long as they are well-behaved and kept on leads at all times.

What customers say

Spectacular views of Mount's Bay and Penzance. Guests love the friendly owners, clean showers, and handy facilities like charging points. Ideal for exploring West Cornwall. It's basic but peaceful, natural, and great value. Some noted sloped pitches.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Clean facilities. Polite owners. Wonderful view! Sockets to charge phones or touring batteries should you run out of charge and 2 fridges to store food.

Disliked More an observation. The site is on a hill, nothing is level. Touring units will need levelling.

Would come back again!

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Facilities were nice and clean, staff friendly and welcoming. Easy to come and go and great location for st Michael’s mount and st ives, pretty much in the middle of both. Lovely view and lucky enough to see some fireworks

Disliked Grass was slightly long which made it more challenging to pick even stop for tent but didn’t cause major issues

Primitive grass campsite

Liked This was a beautiful and peaceful campsite over looking Penzance. The views are amazing, the showers were fab, very hot and the toilets/shower block was very clean. It’s a cute little set up they have here and quite quirky with the toilet block being one of the old farm buildings. It’s quiet, but you have everything you need. Plug sockets to charge your phone/use a hair dryer etc is really handy and the fridge/freezer was a god send. It’s worth walking to Chysauster to the ancient village as this was very interesting!

Disliked As a reminder, it is an open field and with that comes wind at times!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would stay again if back down that way

Local attractions

Dig up a little of Cornwall’s past… it’s easy to do so from this campsite. The Chysauster Ancient Village (roughly half an hour's walk) was full of farmers 2000 years ago, but now, you’ll get to look around the remaining village street, courtyard and thatched rooms. Then, make way to Marazion for St Michael's Mount (15 minutes' drive), where the tidal causeway leads the way to an old fortress… picnics on the front lawn, shopping or just learning the tales of the past make for a history-full afternoon out. Geevor Tin Mine (25 minutes) opens up the past Cornish copper mining history, but when you’re done with learning about history, there’s the Tate St Ives (15 minutes) for those art fans among you or the Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (10 minutes) for finely-fashioned exotic and sub-tropical gardens, an art gallery and sculpture garden. Off to other horizons… Penzance (10 minutes) is the place to go for ferries to the Isles of Scilly, while Mousehole (20 minutes) is a traditional fishing village and Land's End (30 minutes) has shopping and splendid scenery on the most southerly point in England.
