  • No-frills Lizard Peninsula camping with sea views near Porthleven
  • A 10-minute drive to Flambards Theme Park and Praa Sands beach
  • Dog-friendly grass pitches; pubs, shops and surfing 15 minutes’ walk
Fancy a relaxed sojourn near a gorgeous coastal village in Cornwall – and one with the option of surfing? In that case, it’s time to consider a stay at Treza Camping, an easygoing no-frills spot on the Lizard Peninsula that’s 15 minutes’ walk from both the pretty fishing harbour at Porthleven and its renowned surfing beach. Life on this site, on a working farm overlooking the sea, is indeed pretty chilled. There are no set pitches, so pick your favourite spot on arrival and claim it as your own. Bring torches and batteries as there’s no electricity on the camping field, but low-key facilities do include showers and toilets as well as washing-up sinks. This is a dog-friendly site, and your canine chums can join long family walks on Loe Bar beach (20 minutes’ drive) or hike segments of the South West Coast Path (15 minutes’ walk). And of course, with Porthleven beach being so close, this is a handy spot for families with kids keen to make sandcastles on the shoreline or splash around in the waves. Pick up supplies for the barbecue from Porthleven village (have a nose around the cute harbour, lined with cafés, while you’re there), or abandon the idea of cooking altogether and head down to a harbourside pub for fresh seafood suppers. And finally, one rule for time back on site: this is a peaceful rural area and no loud music is allowed, so please make sure the amplifier stays at home.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: It was so spacious and clean. The grass was lovely to pitch up on with no stones when I put my pegs in. Toilets were cleaned every day and Wendy always made sure everything was okay. The views were absolutely stunning. She helped me personally when my tent fell down. She was the first to be there and sort it all out for me helping me with somewhere to stay etc etc. Couldn't thank her enough for her help.

Disliked: Nothing at all.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Large space, lovely and quiet, brilliant stars on a clear night. Good clean facilities. Fire pits a welcome addition. Out of town but walkable after a beer by the harbour. Walked coast path and got the bus back to Porthleven - what an experience on a double decker down some little lanes.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We had a fantastic stay at Treza Campsite and not just because my partner proposed at the bottom of the field looking out at the view!! The facilities are absolutely excellent, there is plenty of space so you don't feel crowded and the lady who runs the site was lovely and very helpful. We also loved the mix of firepits and BBQs that are free for campers to use and the walk into Porthleven was very easy and convenient

Disliked: Nothing!

Local attractions

Surfers, staying at Treza Camping gets you close to Porthleven beach (15 minutes’ walk) with consistent waves and recommended for experts. Novices can catch gentle waves at Poldhu beach (20 minutes’ drive), while Praa Sands (10 minutes) is another popular surfing destination. Non-surfers can take a dip off sandy Loe Bar (20 minutes), with a choice of sea on one side and a freshwater lake on the other. As well as being popular with outdoors fiends, this part of Cornwall packs a cultural punch: departure point for tours to the historic castle and gardens at St Michael’s Mount, pretty seaside Marazion (15 minutes) is also filled with indie art galleries and craft shops, while St Ives (half an hour) on the north coast is home to the famous Tate St Ives gallery. At the western end of the county is Porthcurno (45 minutes), host of musicals and plays at the open-air Minack Theatre (50 minutes). And of course kids get a look in too, with both thrill rides and gentle carousels at Flambards Theme Park (10 minutes), or the chance to visit cute rescue seals at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (20 minutes).
