Very flat open field, surrounded by farmers field and local village cricket and football field

Family- and dog-friendly site a mile from stunning Mousehole harbour
Ramblers’ paradise: easy access to the South West Coast Path
A 25-minute drive from Land's End, 20 minutes from top surfing spots

Cornish beaches, busy towns and a scenic fishing village with a great story… You get it all at Mousehole Camping, a peaceful family site in the village of Paul, five minutes’ drive from Mousehole and 15 minutes from Penzance. Mousehole Camping is a prime spot to base yourself for some exploration of Cornwall: in nearby Penzance, you can pick up the South West Coast Path and the St Ives Bay Line, bringing the dog along so the two of you can call into some of the dog-friendly pubs along the route. Make your way into Mousehole and down to the harbour to laze on the beach or do as the locals do and fish… then wander the cobbled streets, nose around galleries and local shops, and eat at the fishy-focused restaurants. Back on site, Mousehole Camping is in the grounds of a local football club, where matches can occur at short notice (the site tries to minimise the disruption but bear this in mind). Guests get free entry to the football matches, where a clubhouse bar is open on match days. The facilities (a couple of minutes' walk from the main camping area) are shared with the football club and include a toilet, showers (within the changing rooms) and an accessible toilet/shower room. On match days, the shower and washing-up area are shut, while the toilets remain open, and during low season, only the accessible toilet/shower room are open (and cleaned on an ad-hoc basis). There's also wifi. Barbecues are allowed: pick up supplies from the supermarkets in Penzance or fresh fish from the port in Newlyn, five minutes away. If you’d prefer a break from cooking, stroll to the village pub for some food and drinks, or try one of the restaurants within 15 minutes of the site. Please note that this site is run by volunteers. From mid-September until Easter, there are no permanent staff on site. As a peaceful site, music should be kept to a minimum and quiet hours begin at 10pm.

What customers say

This campsite offers a good location, a short walk from Mousehole and local pubs. Pitches are generally flat and well-maintained. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. Facilities are shared with a football club, and while some guests found them basic but clean, others felt they were dated and a considerable walk from pitches. Wi-Fi can be inconsistent. A new access road has been constructed.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Flat and close to mousehole

Disliked The church bells ring every hour even throughout the night
The helicopter to the silly isle
Flys over at 7am on Saturday. And all day
Toilets and showers as across a field
Expensive for a place that won't let you sleep.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Close location to penzance

Disliked No onsite toilets and showers, had to share with the local football club. No chemical disposal points. Only one freshwater tap for the whole site, that was located on the complete opposite side to where motorhome pitches are. No bins for rubbish. Nowhere to dispose of grey water.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay with us , we have Elsan , bins were sited at the site entrance , grey water goes into the Elsan.

We do share our facilities with the football club, but there are separate showers for privacy for our campers.
It does state on the website that we share the facilities with the club.
Best wishes Lynda

Non-electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Brilliant little site, friendly, clean, informative, relaxed! Great location for exploring the area! Lovely little local pub a few minutes walk! Buses just down the lane to all over the local area! 100% recommend! Even has wifi

Disliked Mousehole was a bit of a hill to come back, not an issue but my wife is 35 weeks pregnant and did struggle a bit so just a heads up for anyone with mobility issues! That's honestly the only issue (not an issue if your aware) I can think of!

Recommend to friends Visit again

So happy we stayed an extra night and will be back.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked This site is spotless! We had the end pitch and it was so quiet and private, butterfly bush and blackberry bush behind us. Yes the toilets and showers are a bit of a walk but they were always clean and never had to queue. Darren is a very helpful bloke and always checking to make sure everyone is ok and this site is a credit to him.

Electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Great location for west Cornwall visitors. Mousehole is small but very charming town with narrow and winding streets. Apart of that Moushole Camping is close to Penzance, Miniac Theatre, St Micheal's Mount and a lot of great sandy beaches. MC has a good sized spaces with/without electricity and,Wi-Fi, utility spaces, good quietness, drinking water on site, possibility of grill and fire pit and very important safe and friendly.

Non-electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Really warm welcome! Mousehole is a very short walk and such a picturesque village. There is a harbour that people were swimming in! Wish we had brought our crabbing stuff and swimsuits. A must is the old coastguard pub. Pricey but beautiful old building and a beautiful garden facing the sea. Would stay again. Thank you .

Disliked The showers and toilets being in the football grounds . I felt like I was Intruding! WiFi signal was very poor .

The campsite would benefit greatly if sanitary facilities could be retrofitted directly on the site instead of sharing with the football-club

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Campsite field itself, view of cricket pitch, pub recommended

Disliked Shower room/changing room not very private. Poor road up to entrance of site. WiFi very patchy

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Jennifer, glad you enjoyed your stay, we have 3 other showers on site which are private, also the road you came up was the old entrance, a new road was put in November , you must of come up from Mousehole.

Thankyou for staying with us.

Route directions

Please note that the access road from Newlyn is narrow. To access the site, you will need to go over a small ramp, so this site is not recommended for motorhomes over seven metres. When arriving from Penzance, do not use the road via Mousehole village, as it is narrow and unsuitable for larger vehicles. Instead, take the B3315 (Chywoone Hill) from Newlyn, which is signposted Paul and Land’s End.

Local attractions

Fans of BBC costume drama Poldark will find plenty to keep them occupied around here, with many names and places to recognise: Godolphin House, the mines at Botallack and Levant, and Porthcurno beach (Nampara Cove) are all within half an hour of Mousehole Camping and all worth a visit. Of course, if your passions lie less in TV drama and more in the arts, you won’t be let down – catching a show at the Minack Theatre, an open-air theatre carved into the cliffs above Porthcurno, is an absolute must. You can’t very well make a trip to this part of Cornwall and not visit the most westerly point of mainland England… Land’s End is a 25-minute drive from Mousehole Camping. Be sure to get a photo with the famed sign, and stop for a Cornish cream tea before you leave. Anyone drawn to the ocean will have plenty to do too: the top-notch surfing beach at Sennen is 20 minutes away, boat trips out to the Scilly Isles leave Penzance regularly, and the stunning St Michael’s Mount is a short walk along a causeway or an even shorter boat journey from the coast.
