Grassy green grounds with a helping of military history await at this rural site on the south coast of Cornwall, where you can pitch up on the site of a former Second World War anti-aircraft battery. The guns at Military Pod Camping once guarded the skies above the Lizard Peninsula, formerly a key strategic point along the Cornwall coast. Today, the Lizard has become a top destination for walkers, cyclists and beachgoers, and this site – in Ruan Minor, positioned between the village of Lizard (five minutes' drive) and Helston (15 minutes) – is in an excellent location to explore it all. This peaceful site borders a nature reserve and is within easy reach of natural beauty spots such as Kynance Cove, Cadgwith Cove and Kennack Sands – as well as the South West Coast Path which connects them all together. The amenities at Military Pod Camping include well-maintained toilet and shower facilities, as well as fresh water and a chemical toilet disposal point. Barbecues and firepits can be supplied by site staff on arrival. Wandering away from base, you can buy fishing equipment from the local rod and tackle shop or stop for drinks and snacks at an independent café, both of which are under half a mile away from site.

What customers say

En unik, basal og prisvenlig campingplads kendt for militærhistorie og hjælpsom ejer. Pladserne er generelt plane og velholdte med rene toilet- og varmebrusere. Stedets rolige, afsides beliggenhed roses til udforskning af Lizard-halvøen og strande. Nogle finder dog faciliteterne meget primitive og organiseringen forvirrende, med sikkerhedsproblemer nævnt.

Syntes om Super well maintained campsite. Ian does a great job keeping the place clean and tidy. Super interesting location with lots of history. This campsite is great for anyone looking to explore the lizard and I highly recommend this campsite if you are interested in local military history. Ian is a wealth of knowledge and you can tell he is very passionate about his site. Thank you Ian for another great stay.

Military camping-pod (til 2 personer)

Syntes om The pod has everything you need for a glamping adventure including a lovely warm shower and your own private toilet.

Ian was so helpful and gave us a behind the scenes tour of the museum when we arrived.

We loved how quiet the area was, there was other campers on site but we were tucked away and wouldn’t have even known they were there

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for your review, was nice to share our plans for the museum, hopefully see you both again.
kind regards.

Areal med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om Great place to stay! Ian the owner was lovely and had a very fast response and turned up within a few minutes to show us about etc!
we loved all the old military equipment and was lucky enough to stay over a weekend when Ian had an open weekend for his museum there, he even fired some of the old rifles and cannons with blanks which was amazing to see and hear and had a little catering trailer open there for you to buy refreshments etc during the museum opening weekend
the site is in a great location and level ground and well looked after, also very remote and quiet, we have an autistic toddler who is often a bit wild and loud etc, we had no problems here at all in the 17 nights we stayed in the end, nice clean toilet and a hot shower to and fresh drinking water from a tap.

And I certainly wouldn’t let the odd negative review put you off!!

You need to read all the information Ian has provided before booking, as if for his amazing price he charges per night, you expect a clubhouse/bar and all day children’s entertainment and evening entertainment and big children’s play areas etc like the big very exspensive corporate sites, then that’s the only reason I could see anyone be disappointed.

We will certainly be going back in the near future when kids school holidays again as a perfect site for us and very happy with our stay!

Syntes ikke om That we had to leave and couldn’t live there permanently in a static caravan as such a lovely site

Areal med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om The army memorabilia was unique and took us 2 minutes to look at.

Syntes ikke om This place confused us. You can't call it a campsite. We didn't stay here. It's a tiny field/green pop-up with a porta loo and a shower in a portaloo that looked like a hazard. More than 3 campers and its going to feel crowded. No one about to tell us where to go or if we were even in the right place. We cut our losses and went to an actual site.

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: I'm sorry you were disappointed and I missed you on site, I did send you a welcome message with directions when you booked, I'm on site at least 3 times a day and am always available by phone, the toilet and shower are cleaned at least once a day and the shower cubicle although plastic is 3 years old and not a portaloo as you stated.
we are a small site with only one toilet and shower and really don't understand your crowded comment as there was less than 3 pitches occupied while you were there.
I hope you found another site that was more to your liking but expect you payed far more than the £16/night that we charge.
What we offer at our site is clearly stated in our description and photos, many of which were posted by guests.

Clean friendly and the pods are basic but different.

Syntes om 2nd visit; very basic but perfect; clean toilet and shower, what else do you need. Just up the road from the Lizard, on the edge of a nature reserve. Good walking territory! A couple of good beaches nearby, National Trust car park but expensive for a day unless you're a member. Fascinating museum of WW2 stuff run by enthusiasts,,, the best sort of museum. Hope to return again

Syntes ikke om No sign; no one on site; very limited facilities; owner texted to say he would be on site the next day to show us how the shower worked, but never showed up.

Fra bestyreren: sorry I missed you but I gave clear directions about where to pitchup, I popped onto site 3 times specifically to see you but you weren't there and texted you the gate code after my 9pm lock up when you were out, the facilties are 1 shower and 1 toilet and rubbish disposal as shown on my advert, both cleaned daily, sorry you found the facilties limited but we are a small rural off grid site and don't pretend to be anything else.

Lokale seværdigheder

Around the miles to the south, the Lizard Point (five minutes' drive) is the southernmost point in mainland Britain. Come for the far-reaching views, then head west along the coast to see the dramatic rocks at Kynance Cove (15 minutes), or make your way towards Cadgwith (10 minutes) in the opposite directions and experience the Devil's Frying Pan, a sea cave that collapsed in on itself. Inland, you could try your luck at angling at Countybridge Fishery (10 minutes) or head to Helston (15 minutes), the home of Flambards Theme Park and the Helston Railway, a restored Victorian steam line. Also inland (although on the edge of the pretty Helford river) is Gweek (15 minutes), where you can learn about marine conservation at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. Another nice thing about the Lizard is that, while it feels distinct from the rest of the county, it's actually very well connected to the rest of Cornwall. Getting out to popular seaside towns like Falmouth (40 minutes), St Ives (40 minutes) or even Newquay (an hour) is easy if you fancy a change of scene, and must-see attractions like the Eden Project (an hour and 15 minutes) are close enough to be on your itinerary too.
