Liked: Lovely friendly host, very clean facilities and the host had thought of everything like the use of a kettle, books and games for the kids to play with, charging facilities in the shed and even a fridge freezer that can be used! We will definitely be back over summer.

Evania bell tent (four person)
Liked: We used one of the bell tents available at the site. It was extremely clean, dry and comfortable. The facilities on the site were accurately described on the information provided, again very clean, and there was plenty of hot water in the showers. Great to have a good-sized dog exercise area.

From the manager: Thank you for your review Ann. Despite the Cornish weather we are glad you enjoyed your stay at our site and kayak adventures on the Lizard Peninsula. I'm pleased our little 'handy hut' with the little touches were of use to you all

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Such a quiet clean, well maintained and lovely site. The shower/toilet blocks were spotless, and even had a potty toilet seat for toddlers which was perfect for my two year old. There were chickens and ducks which my boys loved, as well as a football pitch, and a shed with books, games a fridge/freezer, charger points and a washing up area as well. The owners were very welcoming and lovely to chat to. This was our first camping experience as a family and was the best place to do it, we are already looking forward to coming back!
Disliked: Nothing!

From the manager: Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and I'm glad that your first camping trip with the children was a success!! We look forward to seeing you again soon and being just a short drive away even better you don't have a long drive for a short mini break when the sunshines.
Amazing campsite with the friendliest owners and fantastic facilities

Evania bell tent (four person)
Liked: We had the loveliest stay at Lamarth Farm! This campsite has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and cute getaway in Cornwall. Rachel the owner and her lovely dog even came around in the evening to make sure we had settled in to our gorgeous bell tent, she really took all the hassle out of camping and we will definitely be back!

Liked: This is a lovely simple site, it has all the essentials, great showers and plenty of space. Nice view with the sea in the distance. The navy helicopters are very active at times. It is very convenient for visiting local beaches and the Lizard, the nearest town Helston. It’s our second stay and we would definitely camp here again.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, it's great to hear that you have stayed with us before and will do again in the future. The helicopters are active but a great sight to see when they are training our future MOD pilots. we hope to see you soon

Bella bell tent (six person)
Liked: Absolutely lovely site. We stayed as a family of 5 in the bigger bell tent, which was clean and kitted out with solar lights, inside and out. Windbreak, picnic bench and firepit being provided were lovely touches. Toilets and showers clean and well maintained. plugs for charging and ice pack freezing available, again a lovely touch. Very welcoming and friendly owners. Lots of space in the middle of the field for running about / playing football. Its not the quietest campsite due to the proximity of RNAS Culdrose, however we loved watching the helicopters and other aircraft moving about, and if your really lucky you will get a wave from the pilots as they approach over the campsite! We'll definitely be looking to book again in the future.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, it was a pleasure to meet you all and hear that you enjoyed your stay in our Bell Tent. My children loved playing football with yours and waving to the helicopters! They can be noisy at times but we love to see and hear them knowing they are training pilots in our MOD We hope to see you all again, Rachel
