Wildflower Meadow Camping

No availability at present on Pitchup.com 1 review

Spacious organic farm site and wildlife sanctuary
Kynance Cove and Lizard point within a 10-minute drive
Five minutes' drive from Lizard village's shops, pubs and cafés

Wildflower Meadow is a spacious site that’s as much a sanctuary for guests to the Lizard Peninsula as it is for wildlife. You see, this site is part of an organic farm looking after rare habitat: a quiet ecology and wildlife sanctuary with natural habitats and wildflowers. At the same time, it’s a little under 10 minutes’ drive away from the UK’s most southerly point and comes with great facilities, including hot showers, a kids' play area and communal firepits and cooking equipment. You’re on the edge of Poldark country here, with many footpath and bridleway options from the campsite that lead to the South West Coast path. In addition, the campsite is surrounded by three nature reserves and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site has a private area on the edge of the farm with its own entrance just off the A3083, so it’s fairly remote but easy to find and without neighbouring properties. This is a private-feeling place, as each pitch is cut into the meadow with generous distances between and framed by wildflowers such as wild mint, purple loosestrife, wild vetch and Cornish heath. As you might expect, firepits and smoking are not allowed, as the lush ecology poses a high fire risk. However, barbecues are allowed in a designated area. As for food out and about, Lizard Village’s has a post office, butchers, shops for pasty, fish and chips or ice cream, two pubs and many cafés and gift shops, just five minutes’ drive away.
