General
- Small friendly site on the Lizard Peninsula
- Two miles from Lizard Point and three from Mullion village
- Café and outdoor pizza oven
If y'all would like some suggestions on what to see and do when scooting around the Lizard, ask the clan at Little Trethvas Touring and Camping Site.
Convivial owners Liz and Mike have been camping on this cracking Cornish peninsula for over 20 years and know very much what is what re where to go in the region, as well as what campers might like on a site... by which we mainly mean the outdoor pizza oven, baking to order every evening from 6 to 8pm. (And if you don't leave enough pizza over to have cold as a holiday breakfast, the Little Trethvas café to eat in or take away is open daily from 8 to 10am.)
All these marks of good camping taste are on a small, natural-looking site two miles from Lizard Point and Cadgwith fishing village, three miles from Mullion village and within walking distance of fair Kynance Cove.
It has showers, loos, a revamped undercover washing-up area, washing machine, tumble dryer, outdoor drying area and a fridge and freezer for campers' use.
Little Trethvas also has a tourist information room with a local attractions board updated daily – and if you want some more specific info, we suspect Liz and Mike might be able to let you know.

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Local attractions
You'll be on the beach, cliffs and along the South West Coast Path first, we reckon... after that, there's loads to do around Little Trethvas Touring and Camping Site from fishing and sailing to horse riding and off-road biking.
As with much/most of Cornwall, the surf is pretty spectacular around this part of coast too, but it's quieter here than more famed surf spots like Newquay: try Kennack Sands or the surf school at Poldhu Cove.
Kids will likely love a whirl around Flambards theme park at Helston and have a hoot at Gweek's Cornish Seal Sanctuary; Falmouth Maritime Museum and the 650 birds and animals of the Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary at Hayle should also be hits.
One of the most popular places to stop off around the Lizard is the country's tip at Land's End – be sure to get your pic snapped at the iconic signpost – and another is most lovely St Michael's Mount, the tiny island with medieval church and castle, reached across the water from Marazion.
