  • Pitches overlooking the 275-acre Stithians Lake
  • Fishing, sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding and lots more to try
  • Playground, lakeside trails, bird hide, café and refreshment kiosk
Get along to Stithians Lake Campsite for watersports, scenic waterside views and loads of room all around: pitches at this family-friendly activities site look out over 275-acre Stithians Lake. The range of activities on offer at Stithians Lake Campsite makes the site excellent for groups: fly fishers can cast from boat or bank for sizeable brown and rainbow trout (Environment Agency rod licences are required for over 12s and you'll need to apply for these beforehand). Visitors can also try out a wide range of watersports with the help of the qualified instructors at the Outdoor Active centre: windsurfing, sailing, rowing, kayaking and water zorbing are all on offer... feel free to bring your own kit or rent it on site. There’s loads of space around the site for family games and picnics too, as well as a pirate-themed playground, walking trails around the lake and a bird hide for twitchers. Rid yourselves of the rumbles at the on-site café and refreshment kiosk, or have some of the homemade specials on the menu at the Golden Lion pub, 100 yards away. The shower and toilet facilities are a short walk from the campsite. Guests have access to individual washrooms with a toilet, shower and sink. These facilities are separate to the watersports centre where further toilets, showers and changing facilities can be found. Stithians village is within easy reach of the site to stock up on supplies.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Absolutely wonderful! Handy for the sports on the lake, soft beautifully mown grass which was more like a lawn and lots of space between you and your neighbours, even in the middle of August!

Disliked Couldn’t get the code to work for the toilets, but it was probably operator error.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Location - on the Kernov Way cycling route; beautiful lake for evening walk, nice pitches with hedges. Great toilet/shower facilities. Easy check-in, clear email.

Disliked Noise from campsite behind pub (we were right next to the adjoining hedge).

Cafe opening at 9.30am (and not before!)

Local attractions

Stithians Lake is very close to Falmouth, where guests can continue the watery theme with a visit to the dockyards and National Maritime Museum, take a tour of Henry VIII’s seaside cottage Pendennis Castle, or just indulge in some retail therapy. Horticulturalists will find plenty of inspiration at the nearby Trebah and Glendurgan gardens, and animal fanciers will go barking mad over the seals, sea lions, otters and penguins at the National Seal Sanctuary in Helston. Under an hour’s drive is Penzance and Cornish beach towns Newquay and St Ives.
