St loy camping

  • 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.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, simple campsite with a natural feel and beautiful views, praised for its friendly, helpful owner and spacious pitches. Facilities are generally clean with hot showers and dishwashing stations, though some guests note inconsistent shower temperatures or cleanliness. The location is ideal for coastal walks and nearby attractions, with picnic benches provided. Some feedback indicates parts of the site are sloping and that bins could be emptied more frequently.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The site was peaceful, spacious and the owner was around constantly to lend a hand.

The picnic benches were a nice touch.

Disliked The showers went cold if someone else was in the shower or used the tap or flush so made showering quite unpleasant. There was also no elsan point so had to empty our porta potti down the loo.

The site was quite windy (not the campsites fault but just a heads up for any visitors)

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked You can pitch where you like in the field and it wasn't too crowded. The facilities are basic but adequate - a few toilets, a couple of sinks and showers.
A short walk through the woods to St Loy Cove - rocks only, but we saw a seal there. A longer walk along the coast path (or a short drive) to Lamorna Cove, which has a sandy beach at low tide, a car park (cash only) and a nice cafe. You can also get a bus from Lamorna to Lands End and you can see the Merry Maidens stone circle at Boskenna nearby. St Buryan has a good Londis and a pub and cafe (only went in the Londis).

Disliked Men's showers only cold - there was a unisex one as well as 2 female showers, but temperature of water in showers was variable.

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).
