Interested in staying at Stithians Lake?

Call 01209 860301 to book.

Unfortunately Stithians Lake doesn't share their availability calendar with us yet. Availability changes quickly, especially in summer, so we recommend enquiring by phone to avoid missing out.


Feel free to bring your own kit or rent it on site (however, guests must have third party insurance for their own water craft and those using their own equipment must pay a small charge on arrival. You can find out more about prices and policies in the Terms and Conditions). And as tempting as it might be to take a refreshing dip in the lake, swimming is not allowed...


Visitors can try out a wide range of watersports with the help of qualified instructors at the Outdoor Active centre onsite. Windsurfing, sailing, stand up paddle boarding, rowing, kayaking and walk-on-water balls are all on offer. Participate in a range of activities, or explore the lake by kayak, bike or foot.

Horticulturalists will discover plenty of inspiration at the nearby Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens, and animal lovers will go barking mad over the seals, sea lions, otters and penguins at the National Seal Sanctuary in Helston.

A day trip out of the campsite gives access to Cornwall's iconic landmarks. Under an hour's drive is Penzance and Cornish beach towns Newquay and St Ives.
