What customers say
Great spot for the Lizard. Relaxed vibe, friendly owners, level pitches, hot showers. Kids love the free-roaming birds. Some found facilities a bit basic and noted road noise/cleanliness. Larger vehicles might find entry tricky.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Safe, clean and friendly campsite.

Highly highly recommend!!!
Powered grass site
Liked Fantastic location and camp site with added chickens, which the kids loved! Facilities were great and host was so lovely and welcoming. We didn’t use or ask for the WiFi, as why would you when camping, but phone signal was strong if needed.
Disliked Our pitch was along side the main road to Lizard, which can be very noisy of an evening but you do get used to it

Powered grass site
Liked I LOVED this campsite! We toured around Cornwall and this had to be my favourite place to stay. Liz was so friendly and welcoming to mr and my young boys. They loved the free roaming chickens and chicken cuddling every night to put the chickens to bed. It was in an ideal location to get in and out of the main part of Lizard quickly and to visit the local beaches on both sides of the coast. The campsite had all the facilities needed and Lizard helped when we needed extra! Thank you very much for a most enjoyable stay!

Liked Quiet
Ease of check-in
Pitch was flat, easy access to power and water
Location was ideal
Disliked Toilets and showers were dirty. I appreciate these are housed in our buildings but an occasional dust and wipe through would clear the spiders web and various other creepy crawlies

Lovely site, walking distance via coast to Cadgwith Cove, Lizard Point
Unpowered grass site
Liked The cute bathroom facilities where you have your own space.
Well kept field and very friendly owners.
Disliked Disappointed the resident turkey 🦃 called George is now staying down the road! We were looking forward to seeing him
Recommend to friends Visit again
it could be a good site if only the owners did some maintenance
Powered grass site
Liked owners were very pleasent and friendly
Disliked site is badly maintained and is unsuitable for camping as the ground does not drain
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The geology of the Lizard peninsular is unique as we are completely on serpentine and granite. We only have approx 4 ft till we reach clay and then rock so when the water table reaches the surface it does stay on top.
We were able to open in April this year but last year not till May.
The fields on the Lizard have deep ditches to help disperse the ground water which eventually makes its way to the sea.
The upside is the unique landscape supports flora and fauna that only grows on this type of terrain.
If only we could alter the drainage but it’s impossible.
Once we pass March the ground is ok for camping but we do monitor April closely. We rarely get muddy from April onwards and dry out so ground is solid.
