Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2026

Absolutely perfect two night stay at Little Trevothan. The site is immaculate, facilities incredibly clean and the owners have thought of everything, by offering bbqs, fires pits, books for children, and board games to borrow. Very handy little shop with good opening times. The grounds are stunningly peaceful and extremely well maintained. A lovely stay, will definitely be back and hope we get as lucky with the weather again!

A note from the site themselves...

Our family moved to Coverack at the start of 2017. At this time, the park was in need of a little love and attention, and so began our improvement plan. We are proud of the upgraded facilities we now have at Little Trevothan, and our regular guests look forward to seeing what changes have been made from year to year.

We hope you love it here as much as we do, and enjoy the community spirit in the picturesque fishing village of Coverack.
