St loy camping

  • Small, simple site on the Cornish coast between Lamorna and Treen
  • A 10-minute drive to Porthcurno beach; 15 minutes to Land's End
  • Next to a path to St. Loy Cove and the South West Coast Path
Traditional no-frills camping near the Cornwall coast? St. Loy Camping is a good choice for it – this small family-run site between Lamorna and Treen is in a splendid spot for getting out to lots of choice spots around Cornwall’s western stretches. Your closest stretch of the coast here is St. Loy Cove, about a mile away. You can walk down here through the woods and then pick up the South West Coast Path to hike… well, as far as you like really. Perhaps you’d like to head east to lovely Lamorna Cove or venture west to the likes of Pedn Vounder, Porthgwarra and the incredible setting of the Minack Theatre. All of the above and more popular spots are within easy reach if you decide to drive or cycle directly there too: as a guide it’ll take roughly 10 minutes to drive to Porthcurno or the Minack. Extend your driving time to 15 minutes and you can also take in Sennen Cove, Mousehole and Land’s End. With all this on offer nearby, you won’t need lots of entertainment on site – and with that in mind, the owners here have chosen to keep things simple on the facilities front. All the essentials are covered though, with toilets and showers, an outdoor washing-up sink and drinking water taps provided, along with picnic benches close to the footpath down to the sea. Life is pretty laidback here, with kids, dogs, barbecues and campfires all permitted as long as you’re sensible with them.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Beautiful campsite! Gorgeous sea views, very well kept facilities and flat pitches (at the top of the hill, slightly sloping further down). Fabulous walk down to St Loy beach for a scramble on the boulders and just a short distance to the Minack theatre and Porthcurno. Wish we had been staying for longer.

Liked: Klein, ruhig, überschaubar, herzlich und sauber. Sehr nette Managerin. Hunde sind willkommen. Trotz Hochsaison nicht zu überlaufen. Schöner Waldspaziergang zur Küste (Steine). Schöner Strand in der Nachbarschaft. Super saubere neue Duschen und WCs. Wir blieben drei Nächte.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet campsite in a secluded location. The owners and staff were friendly and helpful and were around if you needed anything. The toilets and showers were clean and well lit at night and there is an area for washing dishes. There is a lovely woodland walk following a stream down to St. Loy Cove which is a beach covered in bolders typical of this part of the coast.

Local attractions

Some of Cornwall’s best coastal spots are close by here, so make sure you’re well stocked with all the relevant beach gear. Lamorna Cove (a pretty pebbly beach favoured by both artists and scuba divers), and the gorgeous sandy stretches at Pedn Vounder and Porthcurno are all about 10 minutes’ drive away. Surf hotspot Sennen Cove is about 15 minutes away. Elsewhere along the coast, you might like to take in a show in the stunning sea-view setting of the Minack Theatre (10 minutes’ drive), snap a pic at Land’s End (15 minutes) or wander through the winding streets of cute fishing village Mousehole (15 minutes). St Michael’s Mount (25 minutes) is well worth a trip too. Fancy swapping your sea view for a stroll through a gorgeous garden? Try the trails at Trewidden Garden (15 minutes), Trengwainton Garden (20 minutes) or Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (25 minutes).
