Short Weekend Break Away
Friendly, immaculate, beautiful, quiet are just a few words to describe this site. I'm sure there are lots more! I'll definitely be returning next year.

Tranquil and Well Run Site
Our third stay at this site. Two great fields for our dog to run around. Excellent holiday caravan which is dog friendly. Everything you need is here, quiet, lovely external decking area. Will come again. It is a great location.

We Never Want to Go Home
Our 5th stay here, absolutely love this place and location. Spotlessly clean and comfy warm caravans. If you want restful relaxing quiet holidays this site is ideal. Had some lovely days out at Mevagissey, Falmouth and Lizard. Some great food eaten at Wavecrest Cafe, Roskillys Farm and in Coverack The Paris pub and the Lifeboat House never disappoint. Thank you.

Excellent Site with Everything you Need
Very hiker-friendly site with all the facilities you need on a tough hike on the coast path. Spotless facilities, plenty of showers, loos, washing up sinks and a laundry. Lots of helpful details such as washing line, little shop, device charging and lovely well looked after level pitches. Really kind touches were providing me with a table and chair, as a backpacker these little luxuries make a huge difference. It is close to the coast path and you pass another campsite, but I felt it was worth a little extra walk for such a lovely stay.

Absolutely Amazing Camping
Absolutely lovely place. Small camping with large, flat pitches. Very quiet, clean toilets, big washing up area and launderette. Nice playground. Fire pits and barbecues allowed. Shop available on site. Staff friendly and helpful. Perfect location for sightseeing - fairly close to popular tourist destinations.

A Little Piece of Heaven
My 5th consecutive year at Little Trevothan and that should say it all. Clean, tidy, friendly and the owners are a joy to deal with. They have a separate play area for kids so no balls hitting your tent! There's a quiet time to cut out late noise. It's not Butlins, it's just peace and tranquility, and perfectly located for getting about.
