About the site

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!

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.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

Second time we have been here out of school holidays, the site is so well maintained, the facilities are more than adequate. The only downside for us is that we need to drive to get anywhere, hence the low stars for location, it's a compromise we're happy to make for the peace and quiet back at the site. This is not a site you would choose if you like lots to do on your doorstep and don't want to drive much. Plenty of walking on the doorstep. Will come back for a third time because we love Coverack beach. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly, the cost was reasonable.

Fantastic!

Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2025

Lovely campsite, we really enjoyed our stay. From the moment we arrived to when we left was easy. The ground was in great condition for pitching tents. Electric hook up was well maintained and easy access for our tent, although depending on your pitch you may need an extra long cable for hook up. Toilets and showers were super clean. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Happy hollibobs
