Little Trethvas Holidays
4.4 /5
Little Trethvas is perfectly located for exploring all of the Lizard Peninsula's attractions - stunning sandy beaches, coastal walks, scenic drives and some of Cornwall's prettiest little villages. For kiddies, there's a chicken and guinea pig hugging event in the school holidays and a climbing tree for supervised active kids. There's even WiFi, but it's a well kept secret from teens, so that screen free hols are on the cards.
Small site on the iconic Lizard Peninsula, close by to sandy beaches
Fun activities for kids, including a chicken and guinea pig hugging competition
Eco-conscious family friendly site, previous winners of the Silver Green Tourism award
About Little Trethvas Holidays
This is a small and friendly site with a quirky twist and minimal rules! The caravan and camping fields are very level and have water supplies and optional electric. Both fields are enclosed by Cornish hedging, so animals and children won't escape! For those looking to glamp, there are fully furnished glamping tents and it's all dog friendly - bring a max of two pooches with you. You'll find a comfy double bed and futon inside, along with storage and more. Please bring your own fire pits and BBQs. There are blocks for you to raise them off the ground. The site also has a vintage caravan, shepherd's hut, holiday cottages and a static holiday home for rent.
Little Trethvas Holidays is open from 24/03 to 30/10 in 2024 and from 01/04 to 06/09 in 2025.

Things to do on site and in the Helston area
Mike, Liz and Abi holidayed here for 20 years before moving to Little Trethvas, so know all of the must-see places and experiences.
Kynance, Mullion and Cadgwith are three of the country's best beaches - and Kynance is one of the prettiest beaches in the world. The rocky headlands make great fishing spots.
All are great walking territory, and the pretty lanes towards Cadgwith are perfect for cycling too, as is Goonhilly Downs.
The Helford River is great for sailing, so why not hire a boat?
Other nearby attractions include:

Options further afield include Falmouth, St Ives, Truro and Land's End.
