  • Small, simple site on the Cornish coast between Lamorna and Treen
  • A 10-minute drive to Porthcurno beach; 15 minutes to Land's End
  • Next to a path to St. Loy Cove and the South West Coast Path
Traditional no-frills camping near the Cornwall coast? St. Loy Camping is a good choice for it – this small family-run site between Lamorna and Treen is in a splendid spot for getting out to lots of choice spots around Cornwall’s western stretches. Your closest stretch of the coast here is St. Loy Cove, about a mile away. You can walk down here through the woods and then pick up the South West Coast Path to hike… well, as far as you like really. Perhaps you’d like to head east to lovely Lamorna Cove or venture west to the likes of Pedn Vounder, Porthgwarra and the incredible setting of the Minack Theatre. All of the above and more popular spots are within easy reach if you decide to drive or cycle directly there too: as a guide it’ll take roughly 10 minutes to drive to Porthcurno or the Minack. Extend your driving time to 15 minutes and you can also take in Sennen Cove, Mousehole and Land’s End. With all this on offer nearby, you won’t need lots of entertainment on site – and with that in mind, the owners here have chosen to keep things simple on the facilities front. All the essentials are covered though, with toilets and showers, an outdoor washing-up sink and drinking water taps provided, along with picnic benches close to the footpath down to the sea. Life is pretty laidback here, with kids, dogs, barbecues and campfires all permitted as long as you’re sensible with them.

Unpowered grass and earth tent or campervan site

Liked: Quiet

Disliked: Nobody to welcome you. What seemed like the whole family arrived in a pickup truck and took your name, still no welcome. Facilities needed updating even though an obvious effort has been done to update one toilet/shower block. Expensive for what you receive.

Unpowered grass and earth tent or campervan site

Liked: Very friendly owner checked in on us after our arrival in the evening. Has all the facilities you need - toilets and showers (both unisex and mens / ladies), washing up area and even picnic benches. Lovely views. Field on a bit of a slope but 2 levellers sorted that in a moment. Quiet and peaceful. Absolute bargain for the price.

Disliked: Not a dislike but is very ‘out of the way’ so anyone towing a large caravan may find it a challenge if other traffic/ tractors met.

Local attractions

Some of Cornwall’s best coastal spots are close by here, so make sure you’re well stocked with all the relevant beach gear. Lamorna Cove (a pretty pebbly beach favoured by both artists and scuba divers), and the gorgeous sandy stretches at Pedn Vounder and Porthcurno are all about 10 minutes’ drive away. Surf hotspot Sennen Cove is about 15 minutes away. Elsewhere along the coast, you might like to take in a show in the stunning sea-view setting of the Minack Theatre (10 minutes’ drive), snap a pic at Land’s End (15 minutes) or wander through the winding streets of cute fishing village Mousehole (15 minutes). St Michael’s Mount (25 minutes) is well worth a trip too. Fancy swapping your sea view for a stroll through a gorgeous garden? Try the trails at Trewidden Garden (15 minutes), Trengwainton Garden (20 minutes) or Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (25 minutes).
