- Peaceful pub site on the shores of Stithians Lake
- Award-winning gardens
- Fishing and watersports available
It’s bottoms up at peaceul The Golden Lion Inn - Lakeside Camping on the shores of Stithians Lake, where you can enjoy a tipple and some top-notch pub grub at the inn just a flower bed away, either in the oak-beamed bar in front of one of the three log fires, or alfresco overlooking the award-winning gardens.
No need to worry either about not catching your zzzzzzzs after an evening out – the pub is food and family-oriented so there’s no concern about shenanigans after closing time.
All pitches are level, and the site also has internet access, a playground, and fishing and (non-motorised) watersports available. It’s within easy reach of local towns Redruth, Falmouth, Helston and Truro, and is less than an hour’s drive from the award-winning Eden Project.
