  • Off-grid site close to the south Cornwall coast
  • Two miles from Lizard village; Porthleven 20 minutes' drive
  • Communal firepit and seating area on site
Belle Camping is an off-grid spot located just a couple of miles from the village of Lizard, the southernmost settlement in mainland Britain. With a central location on the Lizard Peninsula, the site is within easy reach of many of the best parts of Cornwall's south coast, with Porthleven to the west and Falmouth to the east. There are shared facilities on site including hot showers and toilets, as well as a communal firepit and seating area where you can sit back and relax in the open air. Other than that, there's no internet access or electricity here, but there is good phone signal. Although the weather in this part of the world is generally mild thanks to a southerly location, you might want to bring along some blankets for those nights when it does get chilly.

Bell tent (four person)

Liked: A long list of positives! Michelle has made us feel welcome, and was very helpful. The tent was new, and spotlessly clean, and very well equipped with everything that is needed to cook. A welcome hamper with yummy goodies was a lovely touch. Showers and toilets were close by, clean and comfortable. Best of all, we could see the sea when we unzipped our tent, which was a wonderful experience.

Disliked: Nothing at all!
