Well situated for exploring the lizard

Skewes Farm
We stayed here in late Sept 2022. Although we did not meet the owners in person, they were very helpful in advance and the site was easy to access and facilities self explanatory. The site was slightly sloping, requiring ramps and was enclosed by trees with well spaced out pitches. The trees provided good protection for the site from the prevailing weather. Despite the lack of reviews, this site is clearly popular as it was full when we arrived, late in the season. There was a good bus service for the Eastern side of the Lizard within 10 mins of the site from Cury. We used this site as a base to walk the South West Coast Path around the Lizard. Helston was nearby and provided a good bus hub as well as access to shops and restaurants. We had excellent fish and chips from Nettles, a family run take away in Helston.

A recent review.

Skewes Farm
As the previous review was from 2019, we were slightly unsure of what we'd find but I am happy to report that all was well, and thought a recent review would be helpful for others. The site is private and secluded with trees all around. No issues of noise at all. Couple of hardstandings and some of grass. All electric hook ups with communal fresh water, grey and chem waste. Friendly and helpful owner, but not intrusive. Ideally placed for any visits to the whole of the southern coasts and corners of Cornwall. The only thing to be mindful of is the tight-ish field entrance. The gateway is beyond 90 degrees and needs care. We have a motorhome with tow car but I wouldn't attempt it without first unhitching the car. Clearly it's not a problem for cars and caravans, or our van on its own. Would we return? Yes.

We loved it here.

Skewes Farm
Great CL. On the map, it looks very close to a main road, but actually there is no noise at all, apart from the birdsong. Mostly level grassy pitches, lots of space and surrounded by trees. Also two hard standing pitches. Basic, but good facilities (shower plus toilet). Owners very pleasant and laid back. 5 minute drive (or 20 minute cycle) from great little sandy beach at Poldhu. Excellent Wifi plus EHU all for £13 - brilliant!

Nice and secluded

Ideal base for exploring the Lizard. Cozy little site, well sheltered. Easy access. WC/shower facilities a bit basic, but acceptable. Very welcoming owner. Pub 300yds down the road is OK. Decent beer and cheap meals. Hopefully, the wifi is up and running properly at the CL next time we visit.

Well placed for whole of the Lizard

Skewes Farm

We visited in our motorhome for 10 nights,together with our two dogs whilst exploring much of the Lizard coastline and places beyond. On arrival the owner soon greeted us and made us welcome. The field itself, whilst adjacent to a working farmyard,is none the less surprisingly private, being sheltered by trees on all sides.The grass was well kept with plenty of room between pitches. Both the single toilet and shower are typical of many Farm CL's, basic and functional,but clean and usable.  As others have pointed out the pathway and steps leading down to the toilets are uneven,so my advice would be to use a torch at night. As dog owners we appreciated the very reasonable charge for dog sitting ....£10-00 for 2 dogs all day when visiting the Eden Project. Loved our stay.
