Granary Barn Camping

We have stayed at Granary Barn twice now. It's a wonderfully relaxing place to be. Tom is a perfect host, friendly and helpful accompanied by his gorgeous collie Flash. Granary Barn is how camping should be and at a sensible price. 

The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean and the site is within easy reach of Porthleven, beaches and National trust properties.  We will certainly be returning again.

The fella found this one for a surprise trip for my birthday weekend and he's definitely scored brownie points! Tom's a great character, he was friendly and helpful from start to end, as too was Flash his Collie dog. Peaceful, charming surroundings, all well kept and clean and none of that twee, 'Stepford Wives' looking marked out pitches! Facilities are just what you need - hot showers, clean loo and a fridge! There are no rules as such, Tom leaves you to your own devices - you need just common sense and respect for the environment and fellow campers of course. We cycled to the nearby brewery and then on down to Porthleven which was an easy and very fun ride. It's a great spot for getting around to see lots of places, we managed to fit a lot in to our short trip. But we're already planning our next trip back. See you soon Tom and Flash!

I've been staying at Tom's campsite for the last few weeks through some of the toughest weather. Tom couldn't have made it any better.  Always available to lend a hand (even if that means being in a field at 7.15am helping you gather up your belongings when your tent has blown over in 70mph winds), he is what makes the site. The pitches are flat, the bathrooms are basic but fine and Tom is a joy. I'd recommend this site to anyone. 5 stars! 

Stayed here for five days.  An excellent site to sit back and relax and enjoy the best of Cornwall.  Tom was very welcoming and helpful.  We were even given our own dustbin for rubbish a first on any campsite we have been on! The site was nice and quiet which was just perfect.   Had there been many more tents I think there would have been a bit of pressure on the facilities but Tom was busy updating so will be interested to see how that goes.

We all would happily stay again when in Cornwall again. 

We love you tom and flash! We recently stayed at granary barn for 17 nights while travelling cornwall. We couldn't have asked for a better place ! Amazing location for every wonderful site in cornwall, our favourite place was porthleven about 10 mins drive from the campsite, the pub was just down the road about 10 mins walk. The site was perfect it was  quiet and peaceful, and the hospitality was amazing! We will be returning as soon as possible ! Thanks Tom and flash for making our first cornwall stay the best we could ask for! Love James and Faye

We stayed here at the end of June , we was so pleased that we found this campsite . Tom Is so freindly and welcoming and not forgetting little Flash who we loved . facilities are good and very clean , really pleased with having a fridge and freezer so we could put our ice packs in there on those hot days . The campsite was so peaceful and we liked the fact that you could pick where you like to pitch as some big campsites they like to have set pitches which is not for us . granary Barn is also in a great location to go for days out , just wish there was more time to do everything but I guess that gives us a good excuse to come visit again ! Many thanks Tom . 

I cannot add much more after reading the other reviews! We were greeted by our hosts Tom and Flash. Chose our own spot on the site. Facilities are nice,  clean and functioning! Use of the freezer was a bonus for our ice packs! Tom really is lovely and would of bent over backwards if we'd of needed him too. Nice quiet site. Very pretty. Easy to get too and from. Walking distance to the local pub which served lovely food and everyone was very friendly. 

We had another campsite booked for the second part of our week in Cornwall. The only reason we packed up and went to it was because we had paid in  advance for the second site. We would of happily stayed at Tom's site all week! And we will definitely be returning.

Thank you Tom and Flash for making us feel so welcome. See you again. 

My husband and I have just come back from our stay at Granary Barn Camping and we had a wonderful time. Tom is very helpful and Flash, his dog, is very friendly. The facilities are great and the site is beautiful. Great value for money and very close to all the wonderful things to see around south west Cornwall.

I've just returned after staying for 3 nights at Tom's campsite. What a great find! The fields are beautiful and perfect for watching sunrise and sunset. Wonderful to have a campfire and all the facilities are immaculate. Tom is so helpful and welcoming and I hope to visit again! 

It's in a great location for both the North and South Cornwall coast - within easy reach of Marazion, St Ive's and all the beautiful sights. What perfect weather too - if you could guarantee sunshine every Easter holiday, I'd return every year! Perfect time to visit - no huge crowds but everything's open.

I will definitely be recommending this site to friends - superb hospitality and a great price too.

This was such a lovely stay! Tom was amazing: such a nice guy who was always willing to go the extra mile to make the stay perfect. The Cottage was lovely and Tom was the nicest host that I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. Thank you very much for a great few days!

We stayed at Tom's site for a few nights in August and it was exactly what we needed - tranquil, well situated with clean organised facilities. Tom was a great host, friendly, welcoming, attentive. Our visit here helped to 'top' our holiday in Cornwall, we will most

definitely aim to return again soon and are looking forward to it already ! Thanks Tom ...

Would recommend this campsite to anyone. Been there twice now and it is evident that it is suitable for groups, families or backpackers. Tom is a relaxed, friendly host that goes that little bit extra to make you feel welcome. With a hostel and 3 large fields there is plenty of space to play games and relax. The campsite is located with easy travel to the North, South or West coast as well as shops in Helston. Very good campsite for very good value!!

A very peaceful informal site which is ideally situated for touring South and West Cornwall. Close to the lovely Porthleven and Helston. 3 large flat fields to choose from with acres of space. Spotless showers (3) and toilets (2) with new wash up area. Lovely friendly and helpful host, Tom. What more could you want! £5 pp + £1 per shower. Excellent value. We will return!

Four of us stayed for 3 nights in late July and we had the best of times. The camping field is surrounded by high hedge rows that were full of wild flowers and wild life. The field is flat with no pegs for positions, you are just trusted to be as efficient with the amount of space you need. Tom the owner informd us that it is his intention to plough up the field in the winter and resow for a flatter lusher area for next season; but quite honeslty its already better than many a site we've stayed. We were allowed to have an open fire which we sat around every evening enjoying the wine and the distinct lack of midges. The facilities are new and very clean if not a bit sparse with two toilets and one shower. But again, while we were there Tom was in the process. of upgrading this with another three shower cubicles and a new laundry, washing up area. We were one of only four campers over the four days so there was a piece and tranquility about the place that is hard to find during the school holidays. If like us its bingo nights, keg beer, rowdy nights and terraced camping that you are trynig to aviod and instead a quite, friendly, charming surroundings that you seek then put this on your Favourites list.

Just returned from 5 fab nights camping at Granary Barn, we couldn't fault the place.  Tom and Flash provided us with a warm welcome on arrival and made us feel at home. The facilities are spacious and clean and Tom was building two new showers and an area to clean dishes etc whilst we were there. The location is perfect, with easy access to all areas of southern Cornwall :) we loved it so much two of our friends joined us from their campsite for 2 nights. 

Can't recommend the campsite enough, we would love to come back and stay another year :) thanks Tom! 

I have now stayed here twice and Tom has been incredibly helpful each time. If you are camping, there are three fields to kip down in and more than enough room to kick a ball around if that's what you want to do. Basic facilities are readily available and are kept in good clean condition. The hostel is even better. Positioning is perfect for getting around anywhere in the north or south coast and is very central. Will definetly be back.

What a lovely place! I have never felt so welcome anywhere. I hadn't made an advance booking but wanted to camp in the Helston area, after calling in a few sites I was beginning to get disappointed as they were very expensive and didn't seem to cater for my needs. I decided to enquire in a local pub and was directed to Granary Barn.

As soon as I laid eyes on it I knew it was for me. Beautiful well kept fields in a fantastic location behind a traditional Cornish farm house.I was greeted with a smile and a hand shake by the owner. He then showed me round the shower and toilets, which looked newly fitted and were spotlessly clean. There are 3 large camping fields with short cut grass, there are no marked pitches and you can pitch your tent anywhere, you are not squeezed into a tiny pitch and have loads and loads of space. Tom, the owner then told me that we will pick up walkers from the coastal path and give them lifts back if they require the following day, He will also pick up campers from Helston if the have not transport and require a lift. His hospitality is second to none and he will go out of his way to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

In short, it's a very informal impeccably kept campsite in a beautiful location,with an owner who wishes to make your stay as as pleasant  as possible, and here is the incredible part......... he only charges £5 per person per night plus £1 per shower. One of the sites locally wanted to charge me £18.50 per night for a one man tent!

Everyone wants different things from a campsite, I like clean, simple and informal. Using that criteria it's the best I have stayed on.

Thank you Tom for a wonderful stay! 

The campsite is in a beautiful field, with an amazing country-side view and the location is fantastic with regards to visiting other areas of Cornwall. Tom, the host is very friendl, welcoming and helpful - even helped us carry rocks for a fire and build it. The showers and toilets are spotless. Definitely recommend this campsite!!!

After staying in both the campsite and the hostel I cannot fault Granary Barn camping for the price, it is both perfectly adequate for camping or (if the weather is a bit ropey) the hostel provides an excellent dry bed for the night as well as cooking facilities. Brilliant location as well! 

Granary Barn Camping is a fantastic peaceful and quiet place . Tom - the owner is very friendly and helpful.  Shower and toilet facilities lovely and  clean . Ideal place to spend holiday for very reasonable price , I will be definitely returning here again....

We stayed with our 10 month old son on Tom's site at the end of June, for a week and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The site is simple, with a shower room and two toilets, both of which were spotless. Tom is personable and helpful always on hand if you need anything, providing campers with an oppurtunity to enjoy a budget holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Porthlevon is amazing so many places to eat and drink and only a few minutes down the road. Can't recommend the site enough,  Tom welcomes everyone with a smile with flash the border collie at his side.
