About Kynance Camping

This family-friendly site is the perfect base for exploring Cornwall's breathtaking coastlines, ideally located on the Lizard Peninsula. It's known for its short 15-minute walk to the stunning Kynance Cove, a secluded tidal beach with incredible views. There's easy off-road access to a footpath which is a short walk to other beautiful sandy beaches, including Church Cove, Penreath Beach and Kennach Sands. The Lizard village is nearby too. There are several non-electric grass pitches for tents and trailer tents in two sizes to choose a more spacious one. There are also backpacker pitches available. Additionally, there is a bell tent for those who want to avoid hammering in their pegs with fire pits and a BBQ. Complete with two double beds that can split into twins and an optional additional single bed. Bottom sheets, pillowcases, and blankets are provided, but please bring your duvet. Set amongst beautiful countryside, there's plenty of space for children to run and play freely. The stunning sunsets and low artificial light make this site the perfect stop to relax under the stars in the evening with a fire pit and meet like-minded people. Dogs are welcome, and there are lots of nearby walks for you and your four-legged friends.

Camping and touring is available from 26th July to 2nd September and glamping is available from 29th July to 2nd September.

Large Tent - XL Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024

This was our first camping trip with our 2 and 4 year old. We had a fantastic welcome, the lady who greeted us was very good at welcoming the children too. The loos/showers were clean and tidy. It is the perfect place if you want a relaxed atmosphere and very close to local amenities. I would strongly recommend. Thank you again and look forward to returning.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - XL Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Awful showers - no hot or even warm water. Only 3 showers for the entire field! Public footpath right behind our pitch, so had to face away from the sea to have some privacy. £44 a night, including 2 adults and 2 kids, and I feel a little ripped off.
