About Us
Treen Farm Campsite is a small family-run site set 200 yards back from Treen Cliff and its fabulous
views of the Logan Rock, and within easy walking distance of two beautiful sandy beaches.
It has a reputation for being 'family-friendly' and frequently
commended by those who look for relaxation during the day and peace and
quiet at night.
Kevin and Gill have been running the site
since 2003, which
was previously run by Kevin's father and
his
father before him! Campers have been falling in love with the site and
it's perfect location since its inception - one couple in particular
have been regulars for over 50 years.
The site, which takes
pride of place on the family farm was commandeered by the RAF and used
for a RADAR station during the 2nd World war. All of the buildings were
built by members of Her Majesty's armed forces - which is probably why they
still stand today!
The farm has been in the family for five generations and is now an
organic dairy farm and will this year be supplying our shop with pasteurised
organic milk.
The site enjoys many 'unplugged' impromptu
musical evenings thanks to our talents of many of our visitors
throughout our season.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome (at no extra cost) provided they are properly supervised and exercised off-site.

Local Interest
Within walking distance:
Cliff
walks, Logan Rock - with its pictorial history around the walls of the
local public house of the same name, traditional and un-spoilt fishing
cove of Penberth, the Minack Theatre - performances between the months
of May and September inclusive, the beautiful beaches of Pedn-vounder,
Porthcurno and Porth Chapel.
For Serious Walkers:
Follow
the South West Coast Path in either direction: East for Lamorna,
Mousehole, Newlyn and Penzance - West for Lands End and Sennen Cove.
Keen Cyclists:
The Peninsula is rich in historical monuments and heritage sites, easily
accessed within a days ride, and offers many magnificent routes and picturesque
vistas of the surrounding coast and countryside. Penzance has a reputable cycle
hire shop, and we also have a number of cycles for our campers to use.
Availability
The best advice
during the busy periods is to turn up early at reception in the village
from 8am, and upon departure we ask that pitches are vacated by 10am. Saturdays and Sundays see most turnover of available pitches.
Our pitches are flexible and not marked. We try to ensure adequate space for comfort and safety between units.
Our first-come-first-served approach does not allow us to pre-book.
Although we welcome
general enquiries about the site, phoning through first will not secure a pitch.
We are open between April 1st and October, with the
busiest times coinciding with Whitsun week and the schools' summer holidays.
Pitch availability outside of these dates is generally at less of a premium.
Please note: Our license allows us only
to cater for those who tour with tents and/or camper vans, for which we have a limited number of electric hook-ups.
