Campfires

Penvose Farm sits between Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth on the north Cornwall coast. The camping and touring pitches, with and without electric hook-up, are laid out close to the shower block, the children's play area and four coarse fishing lakes in the woodland below the farm.

Pricing is simple: you pay for the people rather than the tent, caravan, awning or car. There is a farm shop on site, plus a laundrette, device charging and fire pit hire for a small extra charge. Alongside the pitches the farm lets seven static caravans and three converted barns, so a mixed group can stay in different ways on one site.
