Lizard View

Syntes om Very friendly host, Simon greeted us the first chance he got. We arrived late on the Saturday which wasn’t a problem when we rang ahead and details were discussed over the phone. The site itself was easy to find and had all the facilities you could ask for and we experienced no problems whatsoever. The shower blocks and toilets were clean and well stocked, the bins were emptied daily by the looks of it and the water taps although outside were also clean and easily accessible. The campsite is a very central location to Lizard and other areas of Cornwall, with it not being coastal we weren’t bombarded by the wind like some of our friends who stayed a few miles from the coast the same weekend.

Syntes om Had a fabulous time camping here, host was friendly and great facilities, and stunning location.

Syntes ikke om We were quite a large group and definitely struggled using 1 shower between us all but I know that more showers are currently under construction so feel like it won’t be a further issue.

Syntes om We had a great stay at lizard view such a peaceful and relaxing site. Well located making it easy to get around Cornwall. Simon (owner) is very helpful and at hand if needed and carried out regular checks on the site and facilities.

Was really well priced and eletric available on most pitches. Newly built modern toliet block with a shower room and toilet and then more toliets and sinks in the next door along and 2 outdoor washing up sinks.

Not near any main roads so no road noise. I dont think there was any wifi but signal wasnt too bad.

Syntes om We absolutely loved our stay at Lizard View. It’s a peaceful, relaxed campsite with incredible countryside views and plenty of space to properly switch off. Our pitch was a brilliant size for our large tent, and having electric hook-up made everything really easy.

One thing worth knowing before arriving is that the lane leading from the road down to the campsite is very narrow. I drive an electric Peugeot 3008 and she just about fitted, so take it slowly if you’re in anything particularly wide!

When you arrive, there’s a Ring doorbell at the campsite which you press to let them know you’re there. Simon came straight out to greet us, showed us where we were going and made us feel very welcome. We didn’t actually get to meet Sarah during our stay, but Simon was really friendly, helpful and approachable.

There are currently quite a few improvements and upgrades being made to the site, so at the moment there is only one shower for the campsite. There are separate toilets though, and we never found the facilities to be a problem during our stay. There are also two large outdoor washing-up sinks, which were brilliant and made washing dishes and cooking equipment really easy.

The site was clean, tidy and well looked after, and it was lovely and quiet. Mobile signal was also surprisingly good, which was really useful for looking up places to visit and planning our days.

Because of the dry conditions while we were there, charcoal BBQs weren’t allowed. We popped into Helston and bought an electric grill instead, which worked brilliantly with the electric hook-up, so it’s worth having an alternative cooking option in mind if you’re visiting during very dry weather.

We also have an electric car and found charging really easy — there’s a rapid charger in Helston, so we were able to top the car up while we were out and about rather than having to worry about finding somewhere further afield.

The campsite is also a great base if you don’t want to drive everywhere. We took the 34 bus to Lizard Point, which took roughly an hour. We bought unlimited travel through the Transport for Cornwall app for £10 per adult, which was really handy. The bus stop is about a five-minute walk back towards the main road, although it isn’t actually signposted. We stood on the corner where the route passes and, thankfully, the bus stopped for us!

The location was fantastic for exploring. We visited St Michael’s Mount, the Lizard, Poldhu, Helston and Falmouth, and loved coming back to the peace of the campsite afterwards.

The views from the site are incredible, especially in the evening. Once it gets dark you can see the flashing lights around Goonhilly Earth Station, the huge satellite communications site nearby, which makes the nighttime view even more unusual.

Definitely bring plenty of warm clothes though! We had gorgeous sunny weather during the daytime, but once the sun disappeared the temperature dropped dramatically. The nights were VERY cold, so lots of layers, warm bedding and something cosy for sitting outside are definitely recommended.

Unfortunately, the weather turned towards the end of our stay, so we decided to head home a day early rather than risk packing away our huge tent in worsening conditions. That was completely outside the campsite’s control and didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed staying there.

Overall, we had a BRILLIANT stay and would absolutely return. Lizard View is peaceful, spacious and brilliantly located for exploring this part of Cornwall, with stunning views and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere. Simon made us feel very welcome, and we’re looking forward to seeing how the site develops with all the improvements currently underway.

Highly recommended — a lovely little Cornish escape. ❤️

Syntes om Idyllische Lage, tolle Stellplätze, gute sanitäre Ausstattung (die schon vorhanden ist). Zentrale Lage in Cornwall. Man kommt überall gut hin.

Syntes ikke om Der Zeltplatz befindet sich noch im Ausbau. Es ist alles Wichtige vorhanden, aber zum Teil noch unfertig. Uns hat das nicht gestört. Die zentrale Lage führt auch dazu, dass man überall hin mind. 20min fährt.
