Pitches on site

  • Friendly family-run site near the Lizard Peninsula
  • Coverack village harbour and beach under a mile away
  • Sports field, games room, launderette and plenty of space for play
'In a brilliant spot' is how a gratified former guest has described the setting of Little Trevothan Caravan Park near Coverack... this peaceful and friendly family park is secludedly set, but within easy reach of heaps of Cornish attractions: the Lizard Peninsula, Kynance Cove, Flambards theme park, St Michael's Mount, Poldark Mine, the National Maritime Museum and the National Seal Sanctuary are a mere handful of top destinations easily reached from here, as well as fishing, surfing and swimming galore around the seas and sands of the south coast. Little Trevothan is among 10 acres of well-maintained lawns, hedges and shrubs, close to the coves and beaches of the Lizard Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and 20 minutes' walk from the pubs, shops and shores of Coverack fishing village for swimming and watersports. The site has a family games room and a small shop (open during high season), and plenty of space in the sports field and playground for kids to run around. Among the amenities are a washroom block with toilets and free hot showers, a launderette with washing machines and dryers, and a washing-up area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Clean and good facilities Sheltered from the wind! Play area Quiet at 10pm rule! Level pitches Use of fire pits avaliable Friendly happy owners

Disliked: We would have preferred a larger pitch which we could have had but didn't want to move our tent once it was up! The large group near us (nothing to do with the site and they were quiet after 10 so not awful!)

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Very friendly owner on arrival and when opening the onsite shop. The pitch was a good size and well maintained. The play area was excellent for both young and older children. The toilets and showers look brand new and were very clean and modern. Showers were a good temperature. The location is excellent with a lovely walk to Coverack with some great pubs. We would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Wi-Fi was a little hit and miss, really good sometimes, and other times seemed to drop out but was a minor issue overall!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Wonderfully clean and nurtured site. Well catered for children and the dog. Although no sea views was very sheltered from winds. A short walk to wonderful town of Coverack which had a dog friendly beach and good restaurants and pubs.

Disliked: Shop although had essentials could benefit from being a bit more to make this 5 star.

Liked: Very peaceful site, well maintained with lovely landscaped gardens. Facilities were clean and well set up. Games room was good for teenagers. Great play area for younger children.

Disliked: Laundry machines very expensive. Would benefit from having lighting along the paths to make access to the toilets in the middle of the night easier!

Local attractions

The nearest Cornish waters are at Coverack, about a mile away, and you'll also want to have a day at gorgeous Kennack Sands, reachable in less than three miles. Spectacular Kynance Cove, a couple of miles north of Lizard Point, is part of the West Lizard Site of Special Scientific Interest and was a favoured spot of arty sorts like Wordsworth for its scenic peninsula setting. Family days out nearby include the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and Flambards theme park, eight and nine miles away; Falmouth and its National Maritime Museum, and the Poldark Mine, to try some gold panning and to see how tin miners did it way back when. Paradise Park, an award-winning wildlife sanctuary with indoor play centre, is about 20 miles away at Hayle. If you fancy a ramble or a hike, head inland to wander the banks of the Helford river before catching the ferry for a sup and a bite at the Ferry Boat Inn near Falmouth; more energetically, hike a local section of the South West Coast Path from Coverack to Helford or the Lizard, or tackle the 10 miles from Helford to Falmouth via the Helford river and Pendennis Castle. The beaut scenery of tidal island St Michael’s Mount is 18 miles away; in the other direction, the Eden Project is about an hour's drive away near St Austell.
