Camping Pitches and Bell Tents. Spacious camping pitches.
Our pitches, all with countryside views and plenty of space to relax and unwind.

Cars are left at the small car park and your tents or pitches are a few metres away on the main camping site. Let us know if you may need assistance to transport your bags to your pitches. We are a ten-minute walk across the farm to the beach at Mawgan Porth. Mawgan Porth also has good access to a coastal bus route and the South West coastal path. We regret that due to the rural geography of the site, including some slopes, it may not currently be suitable for persons with mobility restrictions, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss.

At certain times of the year, we have our own eggs, homegrown vegetables and fruit for sale on an honesty basis.

We are sorry, but we are currently unable to accommodate Camper Vans or Motorhomes.

Dogs may possibly be allowed stay by prior arrangement. Please contact us directly to discuss this on higherpendeen@gmail.com

Countryside stewardship is of utmost importance to us and we are rewarded by the ample amount of flora and fauna we experience on our farm. Therefore, after sunset, we do request guests keep lights and noise to a minimum to respect the natural patterns of our local wildlife.

"If you want to disappear for a while and find a space to lift your spirits and let you breathe, Higher Pendeen is a location to head for. An eco-friendly campsite with every consideration made to the wildlife who regularly trail through past your tent and the goats who are your neighbours, reminding you, you are in their space.

A short walk from the beach with incredible views of the rolling hills behind you, take time to slow the pace down and recharge.

Your host, Liz has the most incredible passion for her family legacy and so much knowledge to share, you will come away being just that little bit more aware of the world around you and what you can do to make a difference to keep it safe." - South West Tourism Excellence Awards.
