South Penquite Farm

A quiet corner of the campsite.


Cool Camping
"...a tap and a loo, and Cornwall's best view..."

That might have been a good description of us when we started way back in 1999. But whilst the fantastic view hasn't changed (and we still have the taps and the loos!), we have over the years added many facilities, while keeping the site small, friendly and in tune with the local environment

These include:
New in 2009 - extremely smart pine-clad toliet block - with more loos and hot and cold water to all sinks

A veranda-fronted shower block which delivers solar heated rainwater into cubicles lined with sheets of recycled plastic bottles and yoghurt pots - free of charge and each the four showers is located in its own family-sized room

A laundry with washing machine, tumble dryer (both coin operated), fridge, freezer (for your ice packs), secure lockers with plugs for recharging your mobile phones & a hairdryer - in case you are worried, all of the electricity for the farm is supplied by the local wind farm at Delabole (courtesy of Good Energy)

A hedge in bloom.Four washing up sinks - all with hot water

A kiddies play area with swings and a goal - all made from reclaimed timber and telegraph poles

An LPG filling point - for those who have been sensible enough to convert their vehicles to this more environment friendly fuel

Unlike most camping in Cornwall, there are no marked pitches and we limit the number of people on site so that there is plenty of room for everybody to stretch out. We also sell home produced lamb burgers and sausages, as well as bags of wood so that you may experience the ultimate in cool camping - a campfire!
