Namparra Campsite
Helston, Cornwall
Located on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, Britain's most southernly tip, Namparra Campsite provides a wild camping experience for all the family - including your four-legged friend. Set on a working farm with goats, pigs, alpacas and more, the site offers electric and non-electric grass pitches for tents and touring vehicles and is a short walk from Kennack Sands beach.
About Namparra Campsite
For back-to-basics camping that's a stone's throw from one of Cornwall's most stunning beaches, this is just the ticket. The site is located in Helston, just 12 miles from Falmouth and Penzance, and is perfect for families, friends or solo travellers looking for a base to explore Cornwall's South coast. In keeping with the wild camping ethos, guests are free to pick their own grass pitch with a sea view. With over six acres of luscious camping meadow to choose from, you won't be short of space. The site also offers a limited number of electric pitches at the top of the field, but make sure you book these well in advance. Onsite you'll find friendly pigs, goats, sheep and alpacas, as well as ducks and chickens (whose eggs can be bought at the site shop). Make sure you check out Riptide Bar and Grill, the site's onsite restaurant that boasts great food, a vibrant beer garden, live bands and even a disco. The site is a 15 minute walk from Kennack Sands, a Blue Flag award-winning beach, so don't forget to pack a towel! The infamous Lizard Point is only a 15 minute drive away, from which you can explore plenty of dramatic coastal footpaths. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, so long as they are kept on a lead around the site. Campfires are also permitted.
