Little Trethvas is perfectly located for exploring all of the Lizard Peninsula's attractions - stunning sandy beaches, coastal walks, scenic drives and some of Cornwall's prettiest little villages. For kiddies, there's a chicken and guinea pig hugging event in the school holidays and a climbing tree for supervised active kids. There's even WiFi, but it's a well kept secret from teens, so that screen free hols are on the cards.
Small site on the iconic Lizard Peninsula, close by to sandy beaches
Fun activities for kids, including a chicken and guinea pig hugging competition
Eco-conscious family friendly site, previous winners of the Silver Green Tourism award
About Little Trethvas Holidays
This is a small and friendly site with a quirky twist and minimal rules! The caravan and camping fields are very level and have water supplies and optional electric. Both fields are enclosed by Cornish hedging, so animals and children won't escape!
For those looking to glamp, there are fully furnished glamping tents and it's all dog friendly - bring a max of two pooches with you. You'll find a comfy double bed and futon inside, along with storage and more.
Please bring your own fire pits and BBQs. There are blocks for you to raise them off the ground.
The site also has holiday cottages and a static holiday home for rent.
Little Trethvas Holidays is open from 24/03 to 30/10.
Facilities and amenities
Site facilities include free hot showers, a dishwashing area and fridge and freezer for your use. The centre of each field is kept free for your children to play, and there's plenty of room for kite flying and ball games. There is also a laundry room, washing machine and small garden with washing line. WiFi is provided.
Great pubs are available within 2-3 miles and there is a tasty cafe at Ruan Minor too. The Treleague Dairy Farm Shop is only a mile away.

A note from the site themselves...
After 22 years of family camping holidays on The Lizard Peninsular, it was a dream of ours to move here, let alone have the opportunity to run our own quirky site! We never forget how precious holidays are and how we would start planning our next visit to The Lizard on the way home! This is why we do all we can to make your holiday the best it can be.
We know all the places to visit and have lots of tips. We value the children's experience as much as the adults so have chicken cuddling most evenings in the school holidays and guinea pig hugs are available in our garden.
I just love walking around the site in the evenings listening to families reading stories, playing board games or just sitting around their fire pit toasting marshmallows and looking up at the clear skies in awe of all the stars you can see here.
Hope you can come!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023
Loved it! We stayed two nights and first time camping, of course we couldn't put our tent up properly so had to call on the support of Mike, who was an absolutely diamond.
Quiet pitch, facilities were fine, loved how the turkeys and chickens were free to roam around, and Poppy, the owners dog who would visit us a few times across the day.
Definitely recommend. Great location for Kynance Cove, only a 35 minute drive to Falmouth, which we loved. We would be back.
Perfect little campsite

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022
We stayed at Little Trethvas for 4 nights. It is a beautiful campsite with individual pitches and was in the perfect location to cove hunt around The Lizard. It is nice and quiet and the facilities were great. There were free roaming poultry and the dog enjoyed the stay aswell. We will 100% be returning!

Things to do on site and in the Helston area
Mike, Liz and Abi holidayed here for 20 years before moving to Little Trethvas, so know all of the must-see places and experiences.
Kynance, Mullion and Cadgwith are three of the country's best beaches - and Kynance is one of the prettiest beaches in the world. The rocky headlands make great fishing spots.
All are great walking territory, and the pretty lanes towards Cadgwith are perfect for cycling too, as is Goonhilly Downs.
The Helford River is great for sailing, so why not hire a boat?
