About Little Wilderness
Enjoy a countryside escape amongst 25 acres of rewilded wildflower meadows and ancient woodlands, stay just outside of Gweek and at the head of the Helford River with easy access to the Lizard peninsular and Helston. This family run eco glamping site offers families the chance to switch off and reconnect with nature as well as explore all that Cornwall has to offer with sandy beaches and historic harbours within easy reach. There are a total of six bell tents onsite, two set on private deckings with their own kitchen/dining area equipped with a two ring gas cooker, crockery, kettle, BBQ/fire pit and hammock. There are a further four bell tents set on the ground that have their own covered food prep areas, gas burner, BBQ and crockery. Each bell tent has a king sized bed with Woolroom bedding for ultimate comfort, and if needed two singles can be added for children at an extra cost. Bath towels are also provided. You'll also have a cool box with ice blocks that are replaced each morning. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape to the countryside or a quiet base for your family holiday this caters for both! Enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside, take the public footpaths through the woodlands and wildflower meadows or head to the nearby waterfall! Porthleven is a pretty fishing town with a harbour where you can sit and watch the boats moor up whilst enjoying a coffee or ice cream, only 20 minutes away! Spend nights around the communal fire pit, wood is provided and has been foraged for onsite, and charcoal for BBQs can be bought from the site. Or, the bell tents on grass have a BBQ outside and those on the decking have a fire pit for nights in the open. You can also order locally produced eggs and bacon for tomorrow's breakfast! Sorry, the bell tents are not pet friendly.
