Pitching a tent
For tents, there are generously-sized grass pitches in three camping fields, one for all seasons and two for busier times like the school holidays. There are pitches for all sizes of tents, with and without electric hook-up, so please read the descriptions in the booking system carefully to help you make your choice. For organised groups, like Duke of Edinburgh, please complete the booking form on the Guide to Teneriffe Farm Campsite page. Pitches are pre-allocated, and you’ll be directed to your pitch when you arrive.
Campervans, motorhomes, trailer tents and caravans
All the pitches are grass, and vehicles can choose an electric or non-electric pitch. Read the pitch descriptions carefully to choose the one that's right for you. You're welcome to bring an awning, gazebo, mess tent or pup tent as long as it fits on your pitch leaving 6m between you and your neighbour.
Pods
There are four simple pods in a sociable cluster in the middle of the campsite. They have glass doors opening onto a small deck, and are near a grassy area for outdoor games. Each one has a picnic bench. One of the pods is dog friendly.
What does a pod include?
The pods are basic shelters with a few simple comforts - a soft floor, heat, light and sockets. We provide floor mattresses; nothing else is included.
What should I bring?
Think of a pod as a replacement for your tent, and bring all your other camping gear, including sleeping bags, a sleeping mat (if you’d like to put it on top of the mattress), pots and pans, a stove and camping chairs. You'll cook outside, just as you do when camping in a tent.

Nature and wildlife surrounds Teneriffe Farm
This part of Cornwall is one of the most biodiverse areas in the country, with carpets of wildflowers in the spring and summer and lots of important plant-llfe, from rare lichens to wild asparagus. The money you spend on your holiday supports the National Trust's conservation projects in the area, including those to revitalise and protect rare species. Head to the volunteer-run wildlfe watchpoint at Lizard Point to watch out for seals, dolphins and even the occasional whale and basking shark. The watchpoint is also a great place to see seabirds such as gannets, puffins, various skuas and shearwaters. Along the cliffs near the coast path, look out for wild choughs, buzzards, peregrines, ravens and stonechat.
Free entry to National Trust places during your stay
Head north to visit the ancient and atmospheric estate at Godolphin. For countryside, head to the wooded valleys and sheltered shores of the Helford River, or to the Penrose estate for Loe Pool, the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall, and Loe Bar, site of many historic shipwrecks.
