The Old Farm Praa Sands

here's a bit about us... we are a small, calm and clean site with only 3 holiday caravans and 15 camping pitches making us one of the smallest licensed sites in Cornwall, less than 400 metres from the beautiful sandy beach and coastal path in Praa Sands. We attract mainly couples and a sprinkling of families and we'll hope to see you too....
