About Cob Cottage Walkers' Campsite
Plenty of campsites welcome walkers and cyclists, but few cater exclusively to those travelling under their own steam. At Cob Cottage, there's no vehicle access and no parking – just peaceful meadows reached via a 15-minute woodland walk from Maenporth beach or by bus and footpath from Falmouth. This family-run pop-up site sits close to the South West Coast Path and the gorgeous beaches of Nansidwell, Durgan and Maenporth, with the pub in Mawnan Smith a short stroll away.
Getting here requires a bit of effort, but the rewards are fabulous. Well away from traffic noise, you'll camp in spacious, shaded meadows with plenty of privacy and wildlife all around. Facilities are basic – compost toilet, shower, two water points, recycling – plus a communal shelter in the old hay shed where you can meet fellow guests. The terrain can be uneven underfoot, but that's part of the charm of this tiny, walkers-only haven.

What visitors say
Stayed here for 2 nights in our campervan. It was a relatively flat pitch, which was fully serviced and had lovely views out to the sea! Advertised as an all-weather pitch but it was actually grass but not a problem, as the grass was well maintained, as were the facilities, which were spotless. The only minor negative is that we didn't see much of the Farm staff on site, so it was a bit impersonal. Try the very friendly nearby Wheal Coates Tea Room for breakfast, or a coffee and cake.

A fabulous campsite, immaculately clean and well presented with spacious pitches and outstanding views of the coast. Great walks from the site along the coast to a picturesque beach and over the common ground into St Agnes itself. 2nd visit and would definitely stay again

Lovely campsite in a beautiful part of Cornwall. The small camping fields at the back of site were sheltered and surrounded by mature trees, showers were the old-school timed push button variety and occasionally the hot water ran out, but this was only a minor overall. The site is quiet and far enough away from the bigger towns so it has that slightly remote feel. And close enough to St Agnes to be able to walk to, even for my 5 month pregnant wife. Well worth a stay!

What a wonderful site. Never been to Cornwall before so never knew what was what. Booked this site last minute. I love it. Good family orientated camp site. Came with my 4yr old. Basic play park but the kids loved it (the site could do more as the play park field is massive). Would highly recommend this site. Great that on occasions coffee vans turn up in the morning and fish and chip van some nights. St Agnes is just beautiful. All your food shopping needs can be met there. The best thing about this site is the view to the ocean. Its just stunning. The sunsets are beautiful. I got pitch number 63 which was perfect location in my view. Facilities are all very clean and loads of hot water.....
