Lower Penderleath Farm

Nice open spaces for camping, owner left me to my own devices but if I needed anything he was always there to ask, facilities were good very clean - great stay!

Nothing.

Lots of space, quiet

It’s a back to basics campsite which suits my camping style perfectly. The main thing for me is clean toilets and hot showers which is exactly what we got. I had no issues with those facilities at all. There was also an area for washing pots and pans too. Due to COVID-19 the freezers were not in use for freezer packs, I can appreciate and understand the difficulties at the moment, however it did make It difficult to keep food cool so we shopped day by day and replaced milk daily. Apart from that, I can’t fault the site itself and in the early hours of morning on a clear night I was treated to an incredible view of The Milky Way and so many stars and constellations which I don’t normally see because of light pollution, it was well worth it! The location is perfect, it is very quiet and surrounded by fields. It is a relatively short drive to either St Ives or Penzance, also a 10 minute drive from services at Hayle which were a blessing on a couple of rough mornings and evenings with weather too difficult for cooking outside, there is a Brewers Fayre and a McDonalds for those moments.

Spectacular location with great views.
Nice walks straight from the campsite (if you could find the path)
Individual wash basin cubicles
Dark skies meaning that the stargazing was the best we have experienced in the UK

Contrary to other reviewers, we didn't find the toilet and shower facilities to be particularly clean. There was the same tissue on the floor of a shower cubicle two days running, and the inside of the shower doors were grimey.

A couple of the toilet cisterns were leaking meaning that the floors around these were always wet.

The showers were warm but not exceptionally hot, and there was no way to adjust the temperature. Good water pressure though.

Due to Covid, the facilities for freezing freeze packs were out of use, which caused us problems in storing our food. I understand that precautions need to be taken, but other campsites have found a way of continuing this service, and the risk of transmission via a freeze pack is minimal.

No electrical sockets for charging devices or boiling a kettle

No wifi but good 4G signal.

There is a public footpath running next to the campsite, but there is no access directly from the campsite and no sign posting to indicate that it exists.

Lovely views and allowed a fire and bbq for a real camping experience!

Clean facilities, plenty of space between pitches & convenient location.

–

Warm showers, quiet setting and camp fires allowed.

Sometimes tricky to find the owner when checking in.

Wonderful stay, wonderful views, carry clean facilities to use

A lovely campsite in a very quiet location, nice to get away from the crazy roads around Cornwall. There are quite a few small country lanes in the surrounding area which are good for cycling and you can also walk to the Engine Inn.
The pitches are of a good size and there is a large area of lovely grass to choose your pitch from with excellent views of the valley and hills beyond. On an evening you can light up a firepit and relax, it gets really dark at night with only the sounds of owls to be heard.
The facilities are basic but clean, there are pot washing facilities and the showers are always hot.
The owner is very friendly and promotes a laid back atmosphere, giving a sense of freedom to the campsite.

Windsock near where we pitched needed an oiling as could hear it squeaking in the night
