About Gunwalloe Caravan Park

Family run and family friendly, this tranquil campsite is perfect for a relaxing getaway by the sea. The site offers 30 electric and non-electric grass pitches with the option of electric hook up for tents, caravans and motorhomes. The electric pitches range in size from small, medium and large. The ancient town of Helston is only ten minutes away, full of pubs, shops, restaurants and more. A short walk from Helston is Loe Pool, the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall - a must-visit! The site is well placed for coastal walks, being just ten minutes from the South West Coast Path. Keen hikers should tackle the walk to Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula, which takes roughly three hours. Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads and supervised at all times. Barbecues are permitted but must be raised off the ground and attended at all times.

The site is open from 1st April through to end of October

A note from the site themselves...

The site is very special to me as it has been in my family since it began. I can't wait to now keep it going, update it, meet new people and keep the family feel of the site. I'm looking forward to making your holiday special, helping you as much as I can, learning and developing the site each year.
