Camping at Beacon Cottage Farm

An Idyllic Location

Beacon Cottage Farm Holidays is part of a traditional Cornish family farm. We are situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Heritage Coast. In 2014 the area was awarded The Dark Skies Status. The Southwest Coast Path passes our door at Wheal Coates, the site of Cornwall’s most iconic tin mine as seen in the popular BBC Poldark television series. Giving direct access to some of the finest sea and coastal scenery in Cornwall.

A haven for walkers, conservationists, photographers, bird and nature watchers. The farm is a mixture of beef and arable of approximately 650 acres with a home bred herd of cows and calves, sheep and chickens. We are 10 minutes’ walk from the National Trusts Chapel Porth Beach with its spectacular unspoilt sandy cove offering excellent bathing and surfing, caves to explore and delightful shallow rock pools for little children to play in.

The Perfect Base

The small picturesque village of St.Agnes is just a short drive away or you can walk along a scenic footpath that runs through fields and by the foot of St.Agnes Beacon. In St.Agnes you are well catered for with excellent butchers, bakers, grocers, green grocers, quality craft shops, pubs and restaurants.

For the energetic there are many leisure activities nearby including surfing, bathing, horse riding, fishing, gliding, sailing, golf and tennis or you can just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful location.

St.Agnes is an ideal centre for touring Cornwall with the beautiful cathedral city of Truro just 10 miles away and The Eden Project, Maritime Museum, Lost Gardens Of Heligan and The Tate Gallery within easy reach.

Our family has worked the farm for many generations and we have welcomed visitors here since 1927. We look forward to welcoming you to Beacon Cottage Farm and to this very special part of Cornwall.

Seasonal & Part Seasonal Pitches – Beacon Cottage

Seasonal & Part Seasonal Pitches

The most popular option is the part season pitch where your caravan is set up on a pitch from Easter or April 1st until mid July. We then move it to a safe storage area on the farm for the six weeks of the school holidays. In the first week of September we move caravans back onto the pitch again until we close on September 30th. If you wish to come and stay during the school holidays you can book a pitch and pay the usual pitch fees for the extra nights. When the caravan is sited on the pitch you can come and go and stay in the caravan whenever you choose. With a seasonal pitch your caravan is sited on a pitch from the beginning of the season (either April 1st or Easter depending on which is the earliest) until we close on September 30th. You are free to come and go to your caravan at any time.

Please phone for prices and details on 01872 552347.

History – Beacon Cottage

The Sawle family have been living at and running Beacon Cottage Farm since 1770. We started taking visitors here in 1910 with guests staying in the farm house for B&B. In 1927 old busses and furniture removal wagons were kitted out and used to accommodate holiday makers. This gradually progressed into camping as tents, motor homes and caravans became available.

The camping park has been designed around a central yard by the farmhouse with original farm buildings converted into shower facilities, laundry, dishwashing and reception.

As far as we are aware Beacon Cottage Farm is the oldest campsite in Cornwall.

The Cottages

Beacon Cottage Farm is a traditional Cornish working family farm of approximately 650 acres. It is a mixed beef and arable farm with a home bred herd of cows and calves, sheep and chickens. We also have a small camping park and during the summer months guests staying in the Croft and Bramble Cottages are very welcome to use the park facilities i.e. children’s play area, dogs exercise field etc and the fish and chip van that calls twice weekly.

The farm is situated in beautiful countryside a few hundred yards from the sea and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Heritage Coast. The whole area was awarded with the Dark Skies Status in 2014. We are just a few minutes walk from the Southwest Coast Path. This is wonderful area for walking and from the cottages you have access to many miles of peaceful winding tracks and paths along the coast and secluded valleys. There are spectacular sea and coastal views from the cottage gardens – an ideal spot to sit and relax and take in the view with a cup of tea or glass of wine after a lovely day walking the coast path or visiting a beautiful local beach or charming Cornish village.
