Penwarne Campsite

Liked The view

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.

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 .

Liked Amenities were standout, it makes a difference when everything is clean and tidy. The showers were warm and spacious; toilets always well stocked; having multiple sinks and kettles was also really helpful.
The pitches worked well, well enough space for an 8 person camp but near enough others so that there was a close environment between us and other campers.
Electric pitch worked without an issues.
Really good amount of taps

Disliked Lack of walking routes, but this isn’t something that you can change and we may not have looked hard enough.

Liked We have just got back from a 3 night break at Penwarne Campsite. I have stayed here before a couple of years ago. We all had a really fantastic time, the campsite was quiet and peaceful with fantastic views. Plenty of washing facilities, toilets, showers, pay for washer/dryers for clothes. There is a play park for children on site. It’s tucked away in a quiet spot with plenty of decent sized pitches that aren’t too close to each other. We got our large sized 6 man tunnel tent up with ample parking for the car right next to it and could have even had a pop up gazebo on it too and room for the dog to be tied on the lead to the ground.
The text from the owner on the day of the visit is a nice touch, we didn’t “check in” as such which wasn’t an issue as I knew where everything was from the previous visit. Nicola also let us know about the air show from the red arrows we missed it as we were out, but being Lincolnshire/Yorkshire based have seen them plenty of times.
All in all a fantastic visit we all love Cornwall and using this place as a base to go off exploring is ideal due to its location not far to Falmouth harbour, St Ives etc. Would highly recommend Porthcuno beach too about an hour from the site, literally like being abroad!!

Disliked The only down side was the 5 sec push button shower, really could do with some new shower valves as they should stay on longer than that (being a plumbing and heating engineer I would know) also could do with some detachable shower heads as the mrs didn’t want to get her hair wet and due to angle of the fixed heads you can’t contort yourself to not really get your hair wet. Only a small thing and easily changed. Was kind of hoping you would do the home made stone baked pizzas again from when we came last time :(

Liked The site in location, views and space.

Disliked The Toilets and Showers were abysmal. There were not enough of either for the number of customers. They were not well mantained or cleaned often enough. In some cases the lights where not working and the floors were consistantly pooled with water. For this reason, I would NOT recommend using Penwarne unless you have your own toilet and shower or washing facilities, especially those with families.

The Non-electric pitches are not level.

Liked Plenty of space for non electric tent pitches.
Clean wash area and toilets.
We were visiting our son in Falmouth, so about 10min drive.
