Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Everything! The warmest & smiliest of welcomes that I've ever experienced from campsite owners (thank you Kathy & Will!) who went above and beyond to look after everyone. The amazing setting with far reaching sea views. The back to basics camping in a field of clover. The added luxury of hot outdoor showers, compost toilets & a catering van. Stunning night skies. Easy access to the coastal path & within walking distance of Cadgwith. Within short drives of many outstandingly beautiful beaches and coves. I only stayed 2 nights but will be back!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A gorgeous position overlooking the sea. Wonderful welcome from Will and his family and we felt very welcome. Toilets although rustic were well maintained. Showers excellent with hot water. Lovely touches such as providing wood for fires at an extra cost. Would definitely recommend if you like wildish camping without electric.

Disliked: Very little.

Local attractions

If you’re still hankering after more sea and sand, there are two beaches (with pretty cool seaside cafés too) at Kennack Sands (10 minutes’ drive). And if you fancy a plunge or just a slightly more challenging dip, the local activity centre (10 minutes) will introduce you to the sea through coasteering, kayaking and paddleboarding. There are walks and bays all around the Lizard Peninsula, but if you want something a little different, you can stroll through botanical gardens at Trebah Garden (35 minutes). Head a little further into Falmouth for Pendennis Castle (45 minutes), a pretty mighty fortress looking out to sea. Big or small, kids are likely to find one of their favourite rides at Flambards Theme Park (20 minutes). If you’re willing to travel a little further, The Eden Project (an hour and 20 minutes) also makes an intriguing day out, as the domes are home to rather huge tropical gardens.
