See all 3 photos- Dogs welcome
- Near beach
Churchtown Farm is a working-farm campsite on six acres at the edge of Gwithian, tucked beside the dunes and the South West Coast Path. You drive in through the farmyard to a reception, shop and toilet block, and the beach is about 300 metres away, with Godrevy and its lighthouse along the sand.
Pitches take tents, trailer tents, folding campers, campervans, motorhomes and tourers, and about 75 of them have electric hook-up. The block has free hot showers, family bathrooms and an accessible unit, and there is a launderette, a washing-up room and a freezer for ice blocks.
It is deliberately quiet: families and couples only, no open fires, no generators and no drones. Dogs are welcome (two per pitch) but go on a short lead and are walked off site, with a dog exercise area at the top of the car park. Bookings are by phone or email only, and the office is open 9am to 2pm Monday to Saturday.
