Merrose Farm Club Campsite
Merrose farm is a lovely site in a beautiful area.I have stayed on this site for many years ( approximately 25). The wardens Ruth, Phil and Lee are doing an amazing job on a site of this size. They are all very friendly and welcoming. Previous years staying on the site there were 6 wardens. Now they are down to 3. They only open one of the ladies toilet blocks I presume for ease of cleaning. Also I believe there was a leak in the men’s block which meant the floor was permanently flooded. This was not fixed in 10 days. Whilst we were on site notices went up to say ‘ we have all been spoiled’ by having bins around the site and we were now required to take our rubbish to a central location. I appreciate the Club needs to reduce use of plastic liners but why not leave large red bins at water/waste points as previously done. I find this statement extremely patronising. I feel due to the size of the site people will no longer separate their rubbish, as before it was easy to pop to bins around the site close to pitches . For info the WiFi is virtually non existent and constantly logs you out. I feel the management of the Club need to consider the club are providing a service to paying customers and need to endeavour to keep to the standards we have had for many years.

Lovely corner of Cornwall

Merrose Farm Club Campsite
Great site with a range of pitches, a field for families near the play area and dog walking area, a seasonal area and tent area too. Site Managers very helpful and friendly. Site is near some great beaches and good walking. We enjoyed getting the passenger ferry from St Mawes to Falmouth for a day out. Roseland is an out of the way peninsular so it takes some time to get to other parts of Cornwall (although the King Harry Ferry is a fun way to get back to the A roads), but this also means it never gets overly busy in the local area.

Fasntastic site!

Merrose Farm Club Campsite
We arrived at Merrose farm to be greeted by Ruth and her husband. The site was the fullest I have ever stayed on, with plenty of great sized pitches. The toilets and showers were immaculate and the site was extremely clean and tidy. I ran out of gas on my first day and Ruth's hubby (cannot remember his name, sorry!) came and installed my new bottle. Very friendly staff with mountains of knowledge about local areas to visit and routes to take. Always happy to spend a few minutes chatting and to ensure all was good. We stayed for 1o mights and had no problems whatsoever. The traffic light system for entering adn leaving the site is fantastic, and assures you that you can drive in and out safely. I was a little bit nervous for driving home to the North East of England, having had some troubles getting to Dornafield in Devon, prior to Merrose. Ruth talked me through the best ways to go and reassured me that I could do it and to keep on the main roads. Absolute star!! My only gripe (if you can call it that) was the distance it took on winding roads to get to Truro and then on to any other place. Merrose Farm is a gem of a site, but more for people who do not drive to explore places, as it is roughly 30 minutes from Truro, which we use as a starting point to drive around. Fantastic if you want a relaxing holiday where you dont go far. Set on the Roseland peninsula, there are plenty of things to do around and about that area. The King Harry ferry is a must! great fun. Credit to the staff there, very friendly and especially to Ruth and her husband. Thank you!

Little Gem

Merrose Farm Club Campsite
Excellent site and location, facilities looking a little tired but do what they’re meant to do. Now down to the not so good, partial closure of facilities ( not enough staff apparently, 3 sets of wardens) so queuing in the morning, lack of toilet paper in facilities that were open, wardens screaming at kids playing in the play area calling them “feral” which is out of order big time. I know two members who emailed the club and still waiting for a reply some four weeks later. Overall it’s one of the best sites in Cornwall if the correct management was implemented.

Merrose Farm “lovely site”

Merrose Farm Club Campsite
Having stayed several times throughout 2024, the site has always been looked after and maintained to very high standards. Ruth, Phil and Lee work extremely hard to maintain these standards and are always pleasant, polite and professional throughout. Thanks Kevan & Carole. 👍
