 This site was everything that we hoped for on or first family camping holiday. It is well situated between the North and South coasts of Cornwall, and there are lots of attractions nearby.
The site itself is ideal for families, our children of 8, 6 and 2 had great fun in the play area in the centre of the camping field, and with all the pitches around the edge of the field, you easily watch them play. The games room was also very popular when it rained (thankfully not too much!)
The extra disabled/family shower room meant we never had to queue for the showers, which were clean, and the owners were very friendly and helpful.
A lovely little site.

A great site, it was a little hard to find and the roads were quite narrow in places but well worth it. Not at all overcrowded even though site was full. Lots of space for the children to play in the centre of the field so easy to keep an eye on them. Large games room if you get bored but we didn't need to use it. Quiet fishing lake which was great for my children who are still learning to fish. And a large field for the dogs to have a run. Very clean toilets and showers but only had two showers so sometimes a bit of a wait. We will definitely go back and have another quiet and relaxing weekend.

The Mena campsite in Cornwall is located in a glorious setting, with views to die for! We were given a lovely welcome by the owners. There is a large 'common room' with T.V. Games, etc. The toilets, washing, showering facilities were nice and clean and it was good to find hand washing soap and paper towels, when I had forgotten to take my towel over. There was also a kettle and micro-wave at no extra charge, very useful for novice campers, as yet too nervous to use our camper-van gas!
We went in July but there was plenty of room and the pitch was generous, well sheltered on one side with a water tap to hand.
The site is well situated for those wanting to visit gardens and the Eden project, which you can go to as often as you like for the cost of an entry ticket, so we will definitely be visiting Mena again.

Stayed here recently with family (2 adults, 3 children aged 7, 6 and 3). The site was everything we look for: spacious pitch, great playground and games room for the children and adults, and good facilities. Very central location for visiting towns and attractions across Cornwall and inspiring views across the slate mined hills. Thanks to the owners for a great stay despite rubbish weather.

Mena was a BIG disappointment & did not live up to previous reviews or our expectations (we were a party of 16 & all felt the same).
The owners Christine & Jack's attitude left a lot to be desired - they were most unwelcoming & downright rude.
We were charged an extra £70 as 2 of our tents were considered over sized (standard family dome tents) by the owners even though this was never mentioned at the time of booking & we actually only used 2 pitches for 3 tents.
The facilities were adequate but outdated & in need of a good clean. To be fair to the site the weather was wet & I can appreciate it is difficult to keep floors etc clean but a little bleach in the toilets would not go amiss (they stank) neither would a clean in general (hairs in corners, cobwebs round windows etc).
The site is indeed very quite & in a nice central location to get out & about from. It is however very exposed to the elements (drive a few miles down the road & the weather will be fine). The wind never let up whilst there & we have returned home with broken wind breaks, ripped ground sheets, snapped poles & bent pegs.
On a plus side the games room was great (if the owners decided to let you use it) as was the children's play area in the centre. Also the fact the site was far from overcrowded (unheard of for an August bank holiday), in fact it was almost empty but possibly not surprising considering our experience here!
If you like a site in the middle of nowhere, can put up with basic facilities, being ripped off, a constant gale & owners with a bad attitude then Mena is for you

I visited Mena with my wife and 4 Children, and was delighted with this site in every way. This is a wonderful, quiet site with some of the largest pitches I have come across. The pitches are flat and stone free, and are around the edge of the site, with a great play area in the centre for the children.
The washing facilities are spotlessly clean and well maintained. Hot water is not metered, although there is a little queueing, particularly for the 2 showers at peak times.
The village of Lanivet is only a mile and a half away, with a well stocked Spar Shop, open until 10pm, as well as a Fish & Chip Restaurant / Take-away and the "Lanivet Inn" which does wonderful meals for all the family. The Dragon Leisure Centre at Bodmin has a great swimming pool and other sports facilities, and is only 4 miles from the site.
Mena is well located for all the sights of this part of Cornwall, the Eden Project is only 6 miles away, Bodmin is 4 miles and St.Austell is about 8 miles.
Christine and Jack, the owners, couldn't have been more helpful, I shall certainly be returning with my family, and have no reservation in recommending it as a superb site.

We could not recommend this site more for families or couples seeking a quiet, tucked away campsite. The campsite is not overdeveloped with lots of facilities. You may not even find it easily through the country lanes which keep it hidden from the busy outside world . But just wait! The toilets, showers, and laundry facilities are modern (yes, modern), clean, and well looked after. There is a games room and playground for the children.
The best thing is the space! You can find a pitch away from other people, even in August. The owners are lovely people who could not do more to help. We have also stayed in each of the 2 static caravans which are good value also.
Proximity to Padstow and the Eden Project is great. Try it, but don't tell everyone!

There was nothing I could fault about this site. I have two small children and they were occupied from dawn till dusk. We stayed on site nearly all the time during our 4 night visit as the kids just kept busy playing. The pitches all surround the play area which means you can relax by your tent and watch the kids. We had 2 days of bad weather and we all played in the games room playing table soccer, snooker, darts and table tennis.
So refreshing to not be spending out £10+ in on-site arcade rooms! The facilities were excellent and kept clean at all times, you could tell people worked hard to keep the camp to a high standard. It was very peaceful and plots are very spacious. Definitely a site to visit!

We've been camping for over 40 years and think we know what we are looking for in a campsite. We want a level open-aspect pitch, considerate neighbours, decent washing-up facilities clean loos and hot showers. We detest holiday camp rowdies and the over zealous regulations they inspire. We don't mind not having catering facilities on site as long as they are local and in this case a pub, shop and restaurant are are within 1.5 miles. We enjoy scenic walks and the ability to visit 'must see' sights with little use of the car. Suited us just fine for eight days thanks to hosts Jack and Christine's like-minded approach.

We visited this campsite for two weeks over the Bank Holiday period and found it to be excellent! At no time was the site crowded as the pitches are so spacious and we never had to queue to use the facilities either.There was a large washing machine, tumbler dryer and iron and ironing board within the shower block which came in handy. Our two boys had a great time playing in the park which was situated right in the centre of the site and we all enjoyed using the well equipped games room, The owners are very friendly and helpful and were only to happy to recommend places to visit. We would definitely visit this site again.
