GOLDEN GATE FARM/ CAMPSITE

 GOLDEN GATE FARM/ CAMPSITE is located on the B3311 between Penzance and St. Ives.  The farm and the campsite are set back from the road in a seculded location and is accessed over a lay-by.  The farm is mixed with chickens, ducks, turkeys, Dexter cattle and pigs.  We have our own orchard and produce our own vegetables, which are available to campers and the public according to the season, as well as fresh eggs daily.  We produce and sell our own beef and pork,which is for sale direct to the consumer.

The campsite is a quiet family site with water and chemical disposal points.  The campsite can accommodate 5 touring caravans, each with its own electric hook up and upto ten tents, plus vehicles.  The campsite boasts spectacular panoramic views of West Cornwall, including Carn Brea, Trencrom Hill and St. Micheal's Mount.

Golden Gate Farm Background.

Our father purchased the land back in the early 90's and we have run horses and cattle on the land.  We got rid of the cattle just before BSE became prevelent in the UK.  After an absence of nearly 17 years, my father gave me an opportunity to turn the land into a proper samllholding, that was in 2009 and we have never looked back.  Dad past away in Feburary 2011 and the farm lives on, and expanding all the time, (campsite, cattle,pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks, chickens, one dog (an OES called Merlin), and numerous cats.

Although our Dad will never get to see the smallholding finished his memory lives on, his inspiration drives us on to achieve the best that we can for our campsite guests and in the welfare of our animals and in the quality of our produce.  Everyday is different, always something to do, whether it is mending fences or cleaning out the chickens, and all in one of the most beautiful areas of Cornwall.  Heres to ya Dad
