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.

Positiv: 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!

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

Positiv: The army memorabilia was unique and took us 2 minutes to look at.

Negativ: 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.

Vom Platzbetreiber: 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.

Positiv: 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

Vom Platzbetreiber: 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.

Positiv: Shower was hot but that's all the positives I have.

Negativ: WARNING - This is NOT a site for solo female travellers! This is NOT a campsite and should not be on pitchup. This is wild camping with a porta loo and porta shower that you're paying over the odds for. My friend & I both turned up in our campervans being very confused if we were at the correct place as there were no signs and nobody around. I found a junk yard where some guys were working & they said it was the field and laughed about me having to piss in the bush. The owner Ian messaged saying he would be straight with us after he saw us arrive on the field through his camera. 1hr 15mins later he rocks up with no apology. We were desperate for showers but had no idea where they were, only the porta loo dumped by the gate was obvious. The shower was warm but the changing area is shocking with a curtain that doesn't pull across properly so you're exposed. Nowhere to hang or put anything. Fence surrounding shower looks like it's about to collapse. It's a dumping ground for all his war memorabilia, machinery, rubbish, barbed wire. Walking to the shower there was a piece of wood with 3 nails sticking out just laying on the grass which is seriously dangerous and there's no light at night so there's an accident waiting to happen. Ian didn't appear to know what the junk yard next door was which we found shocking considering the staff drive through the campsite to access the road and know the gate combination. Ian locked the gate and told us the code but someone from the yard turned up late evening which made us feel uneasy. We almost left at one point as we didn't feel comfortable. Whilst Ian was on site, a large sprinter van with a couple turned up. We asked if anyone else was booked in, praying we'd have others, but they quickly turned round and left. Weirdly the next morning at the Kynance carpark we bumped in to the van couple as they recognised our vans. They said they didn't get a good vibe from the site so left. I find the good reviews on here absolutely hard to believe, were they staying somewhere else!?! I have kids, the thought of letting them go and play on this dumped scares me. This site is a field by a busy road, one porta loo, one converted porta loo shower, drinking water. This review is based on two women staying here alone. This site in my eyes is only useful for motorhomes that have all their own facilities and using it for a quick stop over. We paid the same price elsewhere for a gorgeous site with excellent facilities and by the coast. They think they can get away with £16pn because its the Lizard. We both felt unsafe and jumped straight in the vans and locked the doors once it got dark. This is by far the worst "campsite" I've ever stayed at. If you could choose no stars then I would.

Vom Platzbetreiber: I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay, I'm not sure what you expect for £16/night? Just to park at Kynance car park is £5/day, As for feeling unsafe because you were the only ones on site that night, most of our guests appreciate not being surrounded by lots of other people. In the site description we tell guests that the site is a growing museum and reccomend that guest bring torches as it gets dark at night, most guests are happy with this and aren't scared of the dark. We limit visitors to 8 pitches plus the 2 pods, cut the grass once a week and clean the toilet and shower at least once a day. I couldn't make it to greet you when you arrived as I was dealing with a serious family matter, but wish you had communicated your displeasure when I greeted you and I would have refunded your £16 giving you the opertunity to find an alternative site instead of leaving a scathing and frankly malicious review

Was a perfect spot for us, easy access and toilet facilities.…

Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe

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.
