What customers say
This is a spacious, friendly, and well-maintained campsite with excellent, clean facilities, including hot showers. Guests frequently praise the welcoming and helpful owners. The site offers plenty of room to choose your pitch, a dedicated dog exercise area, and a handy communal shed with useful extras like a fridge and charging points. Its central location is ideal for exploring the surrounding area, though some noise from the nearby airbase is noted.

Bella bell tent (six person)
Liked Just the most wonderful stay. Everything we needed and more. The children loved the chickens and goats. And what a treat being able to purchase fresh eggs! Plenty of space for the children to run around and be children with a games shed for them to search through also. The bell tent was the touch of glamping we were after. We arrived and set our beds up soon to be welcomed by the hosts on their evening rounds. No complaints here!

Liked Two night stay at
Lamarth Farm Campsite & Holiday Cottage
If you are looking for a great Campsite in Cornwall, We highly recommend Lamarth Farm near Helston!
Rachel & Luke, the site owners are very welcoming , friendly and knowledgeable, helping with information on local beaches, shops or days out.
The site is a flat grass field , sheltered by hedgerows. There is a seperate enclosed Dog exercise area, a farm area, football goals even a swingball! You have views of the Sea and also of RNAS Culdrose, and very dark skies at night which is great for star gazing.
The toilets are very clean and well maintained, the showers were hot and again very clean. There is a covered washing up area , plants for sale, and a hut that is full of books, local information, and things for kids to play with on the field. There is a fridge freezer for campers to use as well as a kettle and plenty of plugs to charge your phone or battery packs, even an air pump to blow up beds etc.
They really have thought of everything to make your stay great!
There are goats, chickens and ducks in the farm area that was very popular with the children, you can buy fresh eggs from the site at a very reasonable price too.
Today (Monday) there was a visiting Crepe and Coffee van there at 8.30am serving lovely coffee and amazing sweet or savoury Crepes 😋
You can see RNAS Culdrose from the site and get to see lots of aircraft flying over which adds to your stay.
Well definitely be stopping here again in the future!
Disliked Couldn't fault anything whilst we were there.
