Pitching field

  • 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.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The location of the campsite is brilliant with a nice view over the valley and lots of walks, very calm and quiet.

Disliked: Facilities were good but could maybe do with a bit of TLC.
Our pitch in Valley View was a bit stoney for the tent pegs.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We stayed in the Deer pod - it was excellent!
Attention to detail was second to none - even marshmallows for the fire pit! We thought it was better than a hotel, and our little girl loved it!

Waking up to a glorious view. Refreshing wonderful hot showers. Clean environment. Accommodating, friendly staff. There is even a washing machine if you need one!

Disliked: Walking across wet grass from the cabin to the path and from the shower to the path

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Peaceful site, good amenities lovely scenery, and friendly owners

Disliked: Lack of signage to campsite, the only one was propped up on the ground against the hedge and obscured by grass. Did mention this to the owners and maybe a sign either side of the lane entrance.

Electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: This place was amazing 🤩. It was very very quiet ! Bliss !! The showers and toilets were up together and clean. Lovely utility room for everyone’s convenience. Thankfully books ( as I forgot to bring mine ). Will definitely book again will be looking to book in a couple of weeks this place is also quite central to lots of lovely places to visit.

Disliked: Only thing I would suggest is in the toilets to put signs up for EVERYONE to make sure they clean the toilet properly after usage. And maybe various cleaning products available. Sometimes I found I had to give it a good clean. It’s a shame that some people don’t think of others.
