Our Spacious Camping Field

Our main camping field features large, level grass pitches, measuring a minimum of 12m x 8m, giving you plenty of room to stretch out and relax.

  • Pitch Options: Choose between standard grass pitches or electric hook-up camping pitches (10-amp).
  • Suitable For: Tents, trailer tents and small campervans, caravans or motorhomes up to 6m in length.
  • Capacity: Each standard pitch comfortably accommodates a party of up to six people, your tent and one vehicle.

HIKER & CYCLIST PITCHES (SOUTH WEST COAST PATH CAMPING)

Travelling light?  We proudly support sustainable tourism and outdoor adventures.  If you are exploring Cornwall on foot or by bike without a vehicle, we offer dedicated non-electric hiker and cyclist pitches.  These budget-friendly spots are perfect for a maximum of two guests looking for a quiet night's rest while trekking the nearby South West Coast Path.

EXCLUSIVE SUMMER FAMILY CAMPING

During the peak summer school holidays we open up eight premium, extra large family camping pitches on the lower half of our playing field.  All summer pitches include 10-amp electric hook-up in the price.

⚠️ Summer Playing Field Safety Restrictions:

  • No Pets: Dogs are not permitted on the summer playing field.
  • Car-Free Zone: Vehicles are only permitted on the field for unloading upon arrival and loading upon departure.  For the rest of your stay, cars must be parked in our designated area just outside the playing field.

We want your arrival to be as stress-free as possible.  Please keep our check-in guidelines in mind when planning your journey to the Lizard Peninsula.

What our customers say

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
