  • No-frills Lizard Peninsula camping with sea views near Porthleven
  • A 10-minute drive from 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.

What customers say

A ripper, cruisy campsite with top value. Guests rave about spotlessly clean amenities, hot showers, and the legend owners. The location's a stunner, with beaut views and a quick wander to Porthleven harbour. Plenty of space and freedom to pick your spot are big pluses too. Some spots are a bit sloped and it can get windy.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently stayed at this campsite and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Wendy, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and polite — and her two dogs were absolutely gorgeous!

The site itself was spotless — from the toilets and showers to the bins, everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The whole place had a peaceful, quiet atmosphere, which made it the perfect getaway.

It’s clear the site is really well looked after. It was tidy, organised, and full of open space — which my dog absolutely loved!

I haven’t been camping in a very long time, but after this trip, I’ll definitely be heading back to Cornwall — and this campsite in particular. Truly a lovely stay. Highly recommended!

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked It's a lovely site with plenty of room and a great view over the valley. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. The loos and showers were great, nice and clean and plenty of them. It's a 10-15 minute walk into beautiful Porthleven. We will be back :-)

Disliked The only thing I would change is the ability to recycle there. There is only glass recycling at the moment. There were some lads camping at the bottom of the field who made quite a lot of noise with their vans in the evening but not really the camp manager's fault.

Liked Great location, good clean facilities with hot running water, clean site in general, great view.

Disliked The description for the site listed this as a quiet site so no loud music allowed, but for 2/3 of the evenings I stayed there were people playing loud music at the back of the field until late at night - the quiet element was why I chose this site.

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 the chance to visit cute rescue seals at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (20 minutes).
