Sheltered hillside camping in Gulval with views over Mount's Bay
About Noongallas
Perched on terraced slopes above Gulval, Noongallas is a refreshingly unplugged family-run site where the emphasis is firmly on simplicity and scenery. Pitches climb the hillside in sheltered tiers, each with long views over moorland down to Mount's Bay, and the absence of electric hookups and entertainment keeps the atmosphere genuinely quiet. Facilities are straightforward—clean loos, complimentary hot showers, washing-up sinks, and firewood for sale if you fancy an evening fire—but the welcome is warm and the setting feels properly rural despite being only a short drive from Penzance.
Best suited to tents and small campervans rather than larger outfits, Noongallas appeals to campers after countryside calm within easy reach of the coast path, Chysauster's ancient ruins, and the wider Land's End peninsula. It can feel a touch basic if you're used to more polish, but that's rather the point: cash-only, booking essential in summer, dogs welcome for a small fee, and a genuinely back-to-basics vibe that puts landscape ahead of luxury.

Excellent campsite, very friendly hosts and lovely views all for just £10! (July 2026). There were good quality toilet and shower facilities as well as a mini kitchenette with refrigerator, kettle and microwave which were very convenient. A big bag of firewood could be purchased for an extra £5 which made for a lovely evening too!

We stayed here for one night during our roadtrip around Cornwall. Absolutely beautiful place, lovely views. Lovely owner/host. Toilets and showers are available. Wood also available to buy if stocks there. We would stay here again when back in Cornwall.

Beautiful campsite, beautiful view and lovely owners. The glass bottle wall in the campers kitchen was really cool. I'm already making plans to do more bikepacking around that area and will definitely camp there again.

Lovely location, a little tough to get to if you don't have 4 wheel drive. But really good value if you're looking for a cheap camping spot.
