Higher Pentreath Farm Camp Site

Gostou Everything! We stayed last year and this year was the bank holiday weekend much busier than before but as always a wonderful site. Loved the live music on a Saturday night in a relaxed atmosphere and burger van onsite. Beach isn't far which is always a bonus. Facilities are good and three fields to choose from to pitch up so plenty of choice, easy to check in and lots of time given to do so, 10 am and 12pm respectively which I think is great as some parks offer later check ins. Could hear the sea at night which I absolutely love, this is a piece of heaven and a gem of a site!

Não gostou Nothing! Although we had some really noisy neighbours who were talking into the early hours and the toilets did become quite slippery but this was no fault of the site and understandable as it was very busy compared to our stay last year. Would stay again but perhaps early or later in the season, but that was just our personal preference

Gostou Beautiful campsite, really easy to find and access. Location was perfect for what we wanted and the beach is a short walk away. We have a wonderfully time here for a couple of night

Gostou Such a lovely and friendly campsite with clean and well maintained shower block. With a food truck on Friday and Saturday night on site and a live singer on the Saturday we were well fed and entertained.

Gostou Beautiful views, very friendly people.
Short walk to the beach and good food at the pub. Plenty of space.

Não gostou Very hard to get a pitch that's not on a slope which makes sleeping difficult in a tent.
Showers and toilets were clean but very tired and only 1 shower block which isn't enough for the size of the site. Ladies has 6 showers but men's only had 2.
Shame dogs arent allowed on the beach between 10 am and 6pm.

Gostou This was my first time camping with my 7 year old daughter and we absolutely loved this site. I liked the campsites location. The shower bloke was cleaned daily, there were enough showers and toilets for the women

Não gostou Nothing really to dislike. Minor thing would be the shower/toilet situation for the men. Women had a few so wasn't having to wait were as the men in our group commented on this

Gostou Really good views of the coast. Plenty of room to pitch up

Não gostou Sloped fields that make it hard to get a level but it is what it is if you want the views. The toilets and showers for men aren't adequate enough. 2 toilets means that you wait for a while if it's busy plus the toilet and shower blocks are tired and need a revamp with heating.

Gostou What a great site, we loved it. Tons of space, and you can choose where you pitch. The site is on a hill but there are flat areas around the edges of the fields, and the hill gives you the view! Facilites are really good. Plenty of showers (not push button), always hot water, on site washing machine and dryer (reasonable cost, I paid £6 to wash and £3 to dry). Good washing up facilities, indoors. Several drinking water taps. Freezer for ice blocks. Beach is about 10 minutes down the hill and is great. (Lifeguards and pub). Location is a good base to explore. There was a burger van on site for a few nights we were there, good food at really decent prices (if you go and it's on offer then try the chicken/bacon sandwich, delicious!). There's a small supermarket a couple of miles away, an honesty shop on site for sweets and such, and choice of supermarkets in nearby Helson. We had a great break here and would love to go back.

A consideration if you stay here: check the weather forecast for wind. It was very windy for a couple of the days we were there (gusts at 40mph plus). Not ideal to be on top of a hill! We ended up moving pitch, still on top of a hill but tucked away behind the hedge. There are more sheltered spots, but a lot of the site is more open. It wouldn't put me off staying here again, I'd just check the wind forecast before picking a pitch!

Não gostou The phone charger box things - are very handy but fierce. They only take £1 coins (could do with a sign saying this). I got 1 hour of charging for £1 - fair price. But I went over my time by 0.47 seconds... yes 47 seconds, so I had to pay another pound to get my phone back! Didn't mind paying for the over run but boxes won't accept 10p or 20p or whatever, only £1. So if you use them you need another phone or watch or stopwatch or whatever to count you down to the end of your time (we had none of those... all on my phone inside the locked box 😂), make sure you're back to get it out at 58 minutes in. Or be prepared to pay more or wait another hour to get your moneys worth out of the second £1!

Gostou Live music was laid on Friday night & was very good.
Food outlet that came on site morning and evening was fairly priced.
Washing up area good.
Phone charge station looked look
Large washer & dryer
Plenty of space between pitches as you can go where you like.

Não gostou As others have said, shower and toilet are not enough for the size of the site and need some work, they also need to be cleaned more often & toilet paper ran out before 10am. The site was not as busy as it could have been so to see the pressure when only about 60 pitches being used would put me off coming if it was busier.
Little shop is not how it sounds, only a small shed, honestly box, selling a few sweets, teabags & some tin stuff, no milk, bread, nothing cold and no ice creams.
No mention of the live music being on, only a board placed late afternoon so nearly missed it as we went to the beach bar. A lot of people on site didn't get to experienced it, which was a shame as it was very good, so better Comms needed, just mention it at check in as it's a great bonus.
Walk to beach if you are young, fit and health is ok, but hard work if you are not & a bit scary if you had small children/ pram etc as there are no paths just one car narrow lane. Timing is important as it can get busy with people driving too and from the beach, so you have to tuck in.
Beach bar mentioned in write up is not that now, but replacement the food still looked good.
Best views from top field, otherwise only glimpses of beach & sea between the trees on lower fields.
