Little Trethvas is located on the wonderful Lizard peninsula. We are a small friendly site and welcome all: we will do all we can to ensure you have a great stay.
Facilites include a revamped undercover wash-up area, tourist information room with local attractions board updated daily, washing machine, tumble dryer and outdoor drying area, and a fridge and freezer for campers' use.
Freshly cooked baguettes are available every morning during school holidays and bank high season.
The site is two miles from The Lizard point and three miles from Mullion village; you can go walking to the famous Kynance Cove or explore Cadgwith fishing village a two-mile walk away, so there's loads to see and do.
We have been campers on the Lizard for 20 years so know what we're talking about!
