A short end of season stay in campervan. Visited (revisited Lost Gardens during the day, which gets better and better) The campsite is superb, set in parkland. Very quiet with great views across Mevagissey Bay. The facilities are the best that I have ever come across in the UK, and with hardstanding with self levelling pitches, view and EHU, a bargain at £21 per night.

Delighted with our stay at Heligan Campsite. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, our pitch had beautiful views of hills tumbling into sea 🌊 The facilities are probably the best I’ve ever seen in a campsite ⭐️with the perfect dog friendly walk into Mevagassey. We loved it, thank you ❤️

this site is just lovely,, the utility block, which we were told was 3 years old,it still looks brand new,, always clean and tidy, the site has self levelling pitches for motorhomes which is a god send,, the staff were lovely, especially Lynne, very helpful, you can walk into Mevagissey via the walk way, it takes just over an hour, but nice when you get there,,, you can also catch a bus into Mevagissey, right on the doorstep is the lost gardens of Heligan, OH WOW well worth a visit, and when staying at the campsite you can get a discount voucher to spend there,

The best campsite we have ever stayed on! I wasn’t sure about the site as it was a fairly last minute decision to go and it wasn’t on a beach which is what we normally prefer. How wrong was I!! From the minute we arrived the staff at reception where amazing. So helpful and friendly . They work so hard to keep the place looking as clean and perfect as it does. The whole site is beautiful , beautiful views, peaceful. Exactly what I needed. The phone service and wifi is patchy but when your in such a beautiful place who needs it! We just sat outside looking at the views even in the rain. The farm shop at the entrance to Heligan gardens is absolutely amazing stocked with so much great local stuff , the butchers on site is award winning so don’t bother doing any shopping before you come! Greats walks to mevagissey and excellent bus service to get back , our dog was welcomed everywhere including the bus. The facilities are amazing onsite , clean toilets and showers that wouldn’t be out of place in a top hotel let alone a campsite. Washing up room and laundry was equally as good and clean. We met so many lovely people staying here and on the site . It’s really been a lovely place to stay ,would have given 6 stars if I could! Will definitely be back again!…

This is a great site for camping / caravans. We stayed as a family of 4 plus 1 dog at the beginning of September 2023 and we all loved it. The site is a small site, probably could benefit from a bar or coffee shop. The toilets and washing facilities were clean and very well maintained. Same can be said washing machines, sinks and drying room (which is a bonus). Small play area for the children to run around and let of some steam. The views can be stunning, depending on the pitch you're on. There's a great selection of grass and hard standing pitches as well as static caravans. All topped off by being right next to the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Great!

We first stayed here about 15 years ago, and loved it back then. So roll on many years we decided to return, and wow what a transformation, the facility block is stunning, spotlessly clean and maintained. The pitches are tidy and large , the staff are friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, a short stroll to the lost gardens and farm shop , regular bus service to and from Mevagissey and Fowey . A real gem !

This is a beautiful campsite. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. The views are stunning and you are right on the doorstep of the lost gardens of heligan. The Caravan we stayed in was beautiful and spotless we didn't want to leave. We had views of the farm cows and their bull in the mornings 🐄 🐮

Do not stay at 3 bedroom holiday home ( 13 ) which is next to the gray-waste disposal site. At first, we are not sure what grey-waste disposal/ motorhome service point is and found out the next day due to the smell. The smell from the sluice is constant. We could not open the bedroom windows, lounge window and could not sit on front veranda. Our family holiday was ruined by the terrible smell from the sluice daily and seeing people disposing from motorhomes. Internet - non-existant in our area, but, OK at some parts of site. The twin-bed rooms are small for width and length ( I am 5'3" tiny woman ). Positive points : the house & kitchen are clean and the nice and friendly staff.

Dear June, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. We’re very sorry you had a poor experience with regard to staying at our site. The waste area is temporary and will be moving later this year, so we can only apologise that the smell from this impacted your holiday. Please accept our sincerest apologies on behalf of everyone on our team. Please note, we will always try and help with any issue you might have whilst on site, so please speak to a member of staff at Reception and we can try and resolve any problem. It really is of the utmost importance to us that our guests have a great experience. Sadly, the Wi-Fi is very variable across the site due to our countryside location. Every effort has been made to provide a full Wi-Fi service across the site, however, there may be areas in the park that may have limited or no service. We do apologise for this. We always aim to deliver a wonderful holiday experience and we are very disappointed that we didn’t meet your expectations. We will use the feedback to make us better and please feel free to reach out to marketing@pentewan.co.uk with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share.

Camped for a week in June, and cannot pick fault over anything with this site. Generous sized pitches, wonderful views, modern and spotlessly clean facilites, friendly and helpful staff. Great location, walk through from site to Heligan Gardens, with farm shop and cafe which are all lovely. Can get discounted tickets to Heligan when staying at the site, paid approx £20pp for a day ticket which allows you unlimited return entry throughout your stay. Site within reach of many local points of interest, we visited Fowey, Mevagissey, Charlestown, Lanhydrock National Trust and Eden Project. Ice cream van and chip van visit the site, and for the readers out there I was pleasantly surprised by the book exchange point in reception. So many places scrapped this lovely idea since COVID, so was great to see this available here. Would stay again in a heartbeat - the site and its staff are fantastic all which contributed to a wonderful holiday, we will return for sure! Thank you, we had the best time.…

This is a great campsite, close to Mevagissey, Pentewan and Heligan. Bus service on doorstep to Fowey, and Mevagissey. Walking and cycling paths can be accessed directly. Farm shop next door is excellent and onsite shop and reception are good. Excellent shower facilities, constantly cleaned and great laundry. Our pitch overlooked open countryside and met some lovely people. Would recommend to all, especially dog owners and families/couples. We loved Cornwall and Heligan.
