  • Spacious site on a working farm on Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula
  • Kennack Sands five minutes’ drive; St Michael’s Mount half an hour
  • Café and food shop on site; firepits and barbecues; farm animals
Rural idyll or beach holiday? If you can’t make up your mind, you can hedge your bets at Trerise Farm Campsite, a spacious, peaceful spot surrounded by the vast Cornish countryside – and a mere five-minute drive (or a half-hour’s walk) from the spectacular coastline of the Lizard Peninsula and beaches like Kennack Sands. Start by choosing your own pitch over the several fields available, then head over to the on-site café to check in, say hi to the owners and stock up on tasty snacks and drinks. A farm shop on site sells basic provisions, including farm-reared meat; if you need more supplies for your barbecue, there’s a convenience store in the village of Ruan Minor (five minutes’ drive) or in Mullion (10 minutes). And if you fancy a break from cooking, there are restaurants (plus shops and supermarkets) in the medium-sized town of Helston (20 minutes). Your canine buddies are welcome to join you (and Kennack Sands East is a dog-friendly beach), but please make sure that they’re kept on leads and under control at all times. This is, after all, a working farm, and you’re likely to come across chickens, goats, miniature ponies, pigs and geese during your stay. All of the farm animals are friendly and curious, but mind your fingers if you want to fuss them. Firepits are allowed, and you can buy a fire bucket, wood and kindling straight from the site. Facilities include toilets, showers, waste disposal and a washing-up point.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious. Location. Can park next to the tent. Clean and hot showers and loos. Onsite cafe and shop. Clean and tidy site. Welcoming owners. Lots of cute animals. Where I pitched the ground was flat. No/ minimal road noise. Really is out in the countryside.
Best bit- the dark skies. Could see so many stars and meteors as well as clear views of the solar eclipse.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site and as much space as you want. Loved it so much we are going back in a few days. Great cafe on site if you fancy a fry up. I recommend the giant breakfast but it,s not for the feint hearted! Toilet and shower facilities great and regularly cleaned. Owners incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will be returning.

Local attractions

Are you up for a bracing hike along the South West Coast Path? You can join this long-distance trail at Kennack Sands and head west, towards Great Britain’s southernmost spot, Lizard Point (two hours on foot; or 15 minutes’ drive). Take in views of the Atlantic Ocean and keep your eyes peeled for seals. Head to the town of Marazion (40 minutes) and wait for low tide, perhaps killing a few hours at RSPB Marazion Marsh, home to herons and egrets. Then walk along the causeway to St Michael’s Mount, a small, green island topped by a centuries-old castle. The harbourside National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth (40 minutes) has interesting displays on the local nautical heritage (plus temporary exhibitions on related subjects, including pirates and tattoos). From Falmouth you can also catch a ferry across the river estuary to St Mawes Castle, built by Henry VIII in the 16th century.
