  • Friendly family-run site near the Lizard Peninsula
  • Coverack village harbour and beach under a mile away
  • Sports field, games room, launderette and plenty of space for play
'In a brilliant spot' is how a gratified former guest has described the setting of Little Trevothan Caravan Park near Coverack... this peaceful and friendly family park is secludedly set, but within easy reach of heaps of Cornish attractions: the Lizard Peninsula, Kynance Cove, Flambards theme park, St Michael's Mount, Poldark Mine, the National Maritime Museum and the National Seal Sanctuary are a mere handful of top destinations easily reached from here, as well as fishing, surfing and swimming galore around the seas and sands of the south coast. Little Trevothan is among 10 acres of well-maintained lawns, hedges and shrubs, close to the coves and beaches of the Lizard Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and 20 minutes' walk from the pubs, shops and shores of Coverack fishing village for swimming and watersports. The site has a family games room and a small shop (open during high season), and plenty of space in the sports field and playground for kids to run around. Among the amenities are a washroom block with toilets and free hot showers, a launderette with washing machines and dryers, and a washing-up area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Everything! Such a beautiful campsite, perfect for us, our toddler and dog.
Everything feels so friendly, it’s all so clean and well kept.
Our toddler loved the park, having the bbq and fire pits to borrow was a perfect way to enjoy our evenings.
It’s such a short stroll to the beach, and 100% loved the recommendation of Roskillys for dinner it was fantastic!

Disliked The loud bangs from the farm crops did scare our dog a few times but she is a bit jumpy anyway!

Liked - Decent pitch size
- 2km walk downhill to the beach, 20 mins to walk or 5 minutes by car
- Shower blocks were always clean
- Friendly owners

Disliked - Only 4 male and 4 female showers for the whole site, meant some queuing sometimes, not ideal with young kids
- Nearest supermarket is 20 minute drive out to Helston

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Loved the location near to the village and the sea, loved the blackberry bushes next to the tent - breakfast every morning! Loved the children around, lots of playmates for my daughter and a safe environment for playing, loved the free firepits, loved the walks nearby, we didn't get in the car for days. Showers, washing machine, little shop, all brilliant and friendly, particularly loved the staff, so welcoming and warm. This is the third time we have been and we will be back!

Liked We really enjoyed our stay. Sue and mike are so lovely, they are so helpful and kind. Very spacious pitches. A very clean site, great facilities which we always found immaculate. Massive bonus was the play area and games room for the kids, and lovely walk to the beach! Shop was well stocked for what we needed. Everyone stuck to the quiet times which was great. Felt very safe having the car barrier in and out of the site. Great little dog walking spaces for our pup. And a little dog wash area too! We will be back, thanks for a great stay !

Disliked Slightly annoying not being able to take the dog on the play area field but we can totally understand why!

Liked Lovely spacious pitches. Very clean facilities and fantastic location.

Disliked There seemed to be an issue on an evening with electricity. Our fridge was switching to leisure battery on and off through the evening. This only occurred on an evening when everybody was back on their pitches. Possibly someone using something that was high demand.

Local attractions

The nearest Cornish waters are at Coverack, about a mile away, and you'll also want to have a day at gorgeous Kennack Sands, reachable in less than three miles. Spectacular Kynance Cove, a couple of miles north of Lizard Point, is part of the West Lizard Site of Special Scientific Interest and was a favoured spot of arty sorts like Wordsworth for its scenic peninsula setting. Family days out nearby include the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and Flambards theme park, eight and nine miles away; Falmouth and its National Maritime Museum, and the Poldark Mine, to try some gold panning and to see how tin miners did it way back when. Paradise Park, an award-winning wildlife sanctuary with indoor play centre, is about 20 miles away at Hayle. If you fancy a ramble or a hike, head inland to wander the banks of the Helford river before catching the ferry for a sup and a bite at the Ferry Boat Inn near Falmouth; more energetically, hike a local section of the South West Coast Path from Coverack to Helford or the Lizard, or tackle the 10 miles from Helford to Falmouth via the Helford river and Pendennis Castle. The beaut scenery of tidal island St Michael’s Mount is 18 miles away; in the other direction, the Eden Project is about an hour's drive away near St Austell.
