Liked We absolutely loved our stay at Lizard View. It’s a peaceful, relaxed campsite with incredible countryside views and plenty of space to properly switch off. Our pitch was a brilliant size for our large tent, and having electric hook-up made everything really easy. One thing worth knowing before arriving is that the lane leading from the road down to the campsite is very narrow. I drive an electric Peugeot 3008 and she just about fitted, so take it slowly if you’re in anything particularly wide! When you arrive, there’s a Ring doorbell at the campsite which you press to let them know you’re there. Simon came straight out to greet us, showed us where we were going and made us feel very welcome. We didn’t actually get to meet Sarah during our stay, but Simon was really friendly, helpful and approachable. There are currently quite a few improvements and upgrades being made to the site, so at the moment there is only one shower for the campsite. There are separate toilets though, and we never found the facilities to be a problem during our stay. There are also two large outdoor washing-up sinks, which were brilliant and made washing dishes and cooking equipment really easy. The site was clean, tidy and well looked after, and it was lovely and quiet. Mobile signal was also surprisingly good, which was really useful for looking up places to visit and planning our days. Because of the dry conditions while we were there, charcoal BBQs weren’t allowed. We popped into Helston and bought an electric grill instead, which worked brilliantly with the electric hook-up, so it’s worth having an alternative cooking option in mind if you’re visiting during very dry weather. We also have an electric car and found charging really easy — there’s a rapid charger in Helston, so we were able to top the car up while we were out and about rather than having to worry about finding somewhere further afield. The campsite is also a great base if you don’t want to drive everywhere. We took the 34 bus to Lizard Point, which took roughly an hour. We bought unlimited travel through the Transport for Cornwall app for £10 per adult, which was really handy. The bus stop is about a five-minute walk back towards the main road, although it isn’t actually signposted. We stood on the corner where the route passes and, thankfully, the bus stopped for us! The location was fantastic for exploring. We visited St Michael’s Mount, the Lizard, Poldhu, Helston and Falmouth, and loved coming back to the peace of the campsite afterwards. The views from the site are incredible, especially in the evening. Once it gets dark you can see the flashing lights around Goonhilly Earth Station, the huge satellite communications site nearby, which makes the nighttime view even more unusual. Definitely bring plenty of warm clothes though! We had gorgeous sunny weather during the daytime, but once the sun disappeared the temperature dropped dramatically. The nights were VERY cold, so lots of layers, warm bedding and something cosy for sitting outside are definitely recommended. Unfortunately, the weather turned towards the end of our stay, so we decided to head home a day early rather than risk packing away our huge tent in worsening conditions. That was completely outside the campsite’s control and didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed staying there. Overall, we had a BRILLIANT stay and would absolutely return. Lizard View is peaceful, spacious and brilliantly located for exploring this part of Cornwall, with stunning views and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere. Simon made us feel very welcome, and we’re looking forward to seeing how the site develops with all the improvements currently underway. Highly recommended — a lovely little Cornish escape. ❤️

First time taking the kids camping and after travelling 12 hours we were greeted by Len (the owner). He showed us the facilities and had a good chat with us before we set up camp. When you arrive on site you call the mobile number displayed on the sign to speak to Len. He tells you what pitch you are assigned to and while you get to the pitch Len drives to meet you. Facilities on site: One toilet with a sink One portaloo Kitchen sink area (ideal for watching up or brushing teeth) One shower (£1 to be inserted into the machine in the kitchen sink area) The site is absolutely stunning. Well kept and very piece full. The site backs onto a field where there are horses who like to come say hello (caution though one is a bit nippy and one likes to headbutt) There is a pub right next door called The Ring (they stop serving door at 830pm) We will 100% be coming back as the 12hr journey is definitely worth it!! Thank you Len for having us and look forward to seeing you again soon x
