  • 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: tranquil rural break, stunning views. Owners praised as friendly & helpful; facilities, inc. kitchens, are clean. Pitches spacious, level. Dog & child-friendly. Rope swing & woodland walks popular. Some mention facilities need modernising/more cleaning. Great base for Cornwall, but roads are narrow. Many keen to return.

Nicolas B.

Camping pod

Liked Avons passé 3 jours et nuitées en famille de quatre sur Août 2025
Très Bon accueil dans le camping. On nous a offert une bouteille de lait de la ferme et un set de bois avec des shamallows ! Wifi fourni sur place.
Le pod est formidable et très bien situé avec un évier, une gazinière 2 feux et de la vaisselle. Literie très agréable.
La table dehors, le BBQ et le brasier (qui peut aussi servir de BBQ) permettent de passer des soirées au coin du feu très sympas.
On recommande donc ce concept qui permet de profiter d'un camping en pleine nature avec un bon confort.

Disliked Camping un peu perdu. Mais en Cornouailles c'est normal et ça permet d'avoir cette belle vue sur un paysage de nature

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved our stay here, it was a perfect base to explore Cornwall or to just chill in peace! Sheryn was lovely and helpful and we enjoyed the facilities available on-site. Felt very safe, with good pitch sizes and nice views. The nature walk was beautiful and there were lovely big spaces for kids to run around.

Disliked Nothing.

Toni S.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved this site, our favourite of the whole trip! There were plenty of facilities and they were an amazing standard, lots of things for you to do from air hockey, swingball, badminton and lots of walks. The owner was lovely and very helpful, she even called her horses back in for my sister to be able to go and see them. Each pitch had plenty of space and could leave the car next to the tent! I would stay here again and again!
