Our first visit to this site and it won’t be our last. Very welcoming and helpful owners and the site is kept to a very high standard. The grass pitches were mown nice and short- like a lawn in fact. The slight slope was easily managed with 3-level ramps. The view over to Mounts Bay is glorious.
We used the bus service to St Ives which takes 15 minutes from the bus stop which is just outside the campsite gates.
This is a gem of a site and credit to the owners.
Lovely site
Lovely site with view overlooking St Michaels Mount. Very helpful owners who helped us as we had a problem with our motor mover.would definetly go again.
Lovely Stay
We recently stayed at Green Pig Farm for 6 enjoyable nights at the end of August/beginning of September. We can't fault the site, which is beautifully maintained and with stunning views of St Michael's Mount in the distance. Neil the owner was very friendly and helpful. The daily task of refilling the Aquaroll, emptying the great waste and toilet was an absolute pleasure with such well thought out facilities!
We will definitely be rebooking for next year.
Beautiful, tranquil site.
This is a beautiful, tranquil site which I am a little reluctant to review and encourage more people to come to this perfect location. The site is neat & tidy with stunning views over Mounts Bay and St Michael’s Mount. The site owners are very helpful and friendly whilst being very unobtrusive. You will probably need levelling blocks but we have borrowed them from Peter in past years.We have just left after two fabulous weeks in the sun. Although the weather was very hot there was a pleasant breeze overnight which cooled the site down. Penzance & Ives are very easily accessed by car although the latter is extremely busy (park at the rugby club, £7 for the day) Penzance has lots of shops & 3 big supermarkets for provisions. There are also buses which stop outside the site and go to Penzance or St Ives.
Don’t forget to get an ice cream from Jelbert’s in Newlyn.
Green Pig Farm is a good location for visiting the area.
Very relaxing and peaceful.
Can’t wait to return for our 4th consecutive year in 2023.
Pricing
Everything that is said about the site is true Except the pricing.It is not £19 but£24.50 a night.
Along with the caravan club prices we feel caravaning is now getting rather expensive.
After all we are taking our own accommodation.
Holiday 2022
What can we say, 10 days of mostly lovely weather with only one afternoon of heavy rain. As others have said, the pictures say it all as the views from your outfit are to die for. Shopping in Penzance is ok with Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons all having large superstores. The town of Penzance is worth a stroll if you like traditional shops especially, bakers of which there are a lot.
Whilst staying, we took the helicopter to Tresco but if you intend going, take my advice and book early as bookings go very quickly (only 12 seats on each flight). Currently (June 2022) the price to park all day at the heliport is £7 in a secure compound.
The site is perfect for those who wish to check out where Poldark was filmed, as a lot of the locations are within easy reach.
For bathing, Penzance has an open air lido or of course there are loads of beaches within a short distance. Do not try and park in St Ives. Either drive to St Erth Park and take the train, or catch the bus from outside of the Farm.
Chatting to others on the CL, it seems as if they return very frequently. Friendly owners who do not intrude but are there if you need advice. You will need levelling blocks and a storm strap if using an awning in high winds as the site is a bit exposed but I'll take that for the views alone.
Astounding place
Just look at those photos - what you see is what you get! We had a very warm welcome - with ots of advice - as though we were the only people who mattered. The best advice was to take the bus, which is hourly in both directions - to Penzance and to St Ives, just a few minutes for each journey. Don't even think about taking your outfit into St Ives! Amenities (no toilet block) are fine, but don't forget levelling blocks for most positions on the site. Great five days exploring West Penwith!
Very special place
We were here for just over two weeks in mid September. The site and services are immaculate and the views are awesome. We were so glad to be back after missing our 2020 holiday here. The weather was mostly good considering the time of year but whatever the weather it is a great place to be. As usual, the warm and friendly welcome is a lovely start to the holiday. Thank you all at Green Pig Farm, look forward to visiting again,
Great little site.
Friendly owners who were very informative on arrival. Nice dog walk around adjacent field. Fantastic view. Hope to be back next year.
Fantastic CL
Thank you for such a warm welcome to your lovely CL. We thoroughly enjoyed our week with you and were even blessed with good weather! The site is first rate and the view unbeatable. Very well situated for visiting St Ives and Penzance, St Michael's Mount and the Minack at Porthcurnow. Would have no hesitation in booking again if we return to the area. Thoroughly recommended.
