Mousehole Camping is a small and friendly campsite based at local football club, Mousehole AFC. It's the closest campsite to Mousehole village, welcoming tents, campervans and motorhomes. For a bit of Cornish glam, there are stylish bell tents for hire! All minutes from the coast and handy for its big attractions.

About Mousehole Camping

The location here at Mousehole in Cornwall is spectacular. The tiny village of Paul is a short stroll, while Mousehole and its beach are less than a mile away (a 20 minute walk). A football pitch by its very nature is designed to be flat and well drained, and the adjacent tent pitches are the same - plus there's a selection of grass touring pitches with electric. There are also some hardstanding pitches for campervans and motorhomes, with guests welcome to watch a football match! Up to four glampers can stay in one of the chic bell tents, each with its own lighting, inflatable beds and a picnic table. Please note that camping facilities are a short walk around the football pitch and that this can be dark at certain times of year - it is recommended to bring a torch. During low season, there is only one accessible shower/toilet open for campers to use, so the site is particularly suitable for self-contained units at this time of year. Pets welcome.

Campervans and motorhomes are welcome all year round on hardstanding pitches with electric hook ups, while tent campers can pitch up between Easter and mid-September. Bell tents available May Whitsun holiday weekend and through July and August.

Facilities and amenities

The facilities are in the football clubhouse. This is where you can find toilets, solar powered showers and a washing up area, with plenty of hot water. A freezer is available for everyone to use, and all campers are free to use the excellent WiFi.

Please note, facilities are shared with the football ground so sometimes these can be out of action, although the site always tries to keep disruption to a minimum.

The Kings Arms pub is within 500 metres, serving great food and beers.
