About Little Trevothan Camping and Caravan Park

Away from the hustle and bustle of Cornwall's better-known resorts, Little Trevothan delivers a more relaxing holiday without overcrowding near the charming village of Coverack. Both electric grass pitches and hardstanding pitches can be found here, ideal for a touring or camping break. Head to the crescent beach only a 20 minute walk away, or explore the many coves and villages along the rugged coastline of the Lizard Peninsula. Many major attractions, such as the Lizard Point, are within reach, but you return to a more peaceful site. It really is the best of both worlds. Whether it's bird watching, wildflowers or a gentle stroll along the coastal path with its stunning views, the people who visit this site and Coverack have been coming back for years. This camping and caravan site is a little gem in a lesser-known part of Cornwall, but your first visit will rarely be your last! The spacious camping field is 12m by 8m and offers level grass pitches for tents, trailer tents and smaller campervans. The touring field is suitable for caravans, reasonably sized motorhomes, campervans and trailer tents - with sturdy hardstanding pitches, complete with grass space dividers. The holiday caravan field sits six grass touring pitches, perfect for multi-pitch tent bookings!

Camping and touring is open from March until October.

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.

Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesSep 2023

Highly recommend this campsite. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Campsite itself is very clean and tidy, toilet and showers were clean, most importantly it is an excellent campsite for children as there is park and a games room. 5* all the way. We will be definitely going back in future.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

Off the beaten track campsite with very friendly staff. Arrival was nice and simple as the sat nav took us right to the reception, there are some single lane roads on the way but they do have several passing areas so no problems for me in the camper. The facilities were very clean and the showers were nice and hot. They also had a wall mounted, fold out table for you to put clothes and wash bags on and hangers on the door. I don't like it when I have to use the floor for clothes etc so this was perfect for me. Check in and check out was 100% problem free and easy so a thumbs up there. We did use the shop which has all the essentials and the locally sourced bacon and sausages were very nice 👌🏻 Our plot was nice and spacious with easy hook up to the electric and nice short grass. Drinking water was only a very short walk away (I could see it from my camper). All in all, a very nice stay for myself, my wife and our four legged friend, who was loving life from the moment we arrived. I would definitely recommend this campsite, Thank you for a lovely stay.

Thank you for your review and for choosing to stay with us at Little Trevothan. It is great to hear about the things you liked about our park and our little touches in the showers to make life easier! We are pleased to stock our small shop with local bacon, sausages, eggs, milk and bread and thank you for supporting it. We hope to see you both again and your dog!

Fantastic!

Small Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesMay 2023

We spent 3 nights here and it was in such a good location to lots of surrounding beaches. The facilities were so clean and the pitches were really tidy and well presented. Lots of space attached to the electric hook-up pitches and we got a choice of pitch on arrival. Great value for money. The site felt very safe and secure and overall would 100% stay here again.

Site's response

Thank you Christian for your wonderful review. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay with us and managed to explore many of the surrounding beaches. We hope you visit again. Best wishes from the Little Trevothan Team
