Mount Douglas Farm Campsite

Mount Douglas Farm Campsite is a friendly, family-run campsite in the countryside at Carbis Bay, just outside St Ives in West Cornwall. Set across two spacious fields on a small farm, it offers a relaxed place to stay for campervan travellers who want to enjoy Cornwall’s beaches and coastal scenery without being in the middle of a busy resort.

The campsite has grass pitches with and without electric hook-up, welcoming tents, roof tents, campervans and motorhomes. Electric pitches have a 12-amp supply, providing useful power for everyday campervan needs. Please note that touring caravans are not accepted, so check the site’s vehicle requirements before booking if you’re travelling in a larger vehicle.

Facilities include separate male and female toilets and hot showers, washing-up areas, a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus fridges and freezers for storing food. There are electrical sockets for charging phones and other small devices, and guests can hire fire pits and purchase firewood for an evening around the fire. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead and cannot be left unattended.

One of Mount Douglas’s biggest advantages is its location. Carbis Bay’s sandy beach is around a 20-minute walk away, while St Ives is easily reached by bus. The bus stop is approximately five minutes’ walk from the campsite, offering a convenient alternative to finding parking in town. St Ives is known for its harbour, beaches, independent shops, restaurants and Tate gallery, while the surrounding area offers coastal walks, watersports and opportunities to explore the Hayle Estuary.

With spacious grass pitches, practical facilities and easy access to both Carbis Bay and St Ives, Mount Douglas Farm Campsite is a good choice for campervan owners looking for a friendly, informal base for a Cornish coastal break. The campsite is seasonal, so check the official website for opening dates, pitch availability and booking details before travelling.
