Trevaylor Caravan and Camping Park

The wind carries salt and gorse from the nearby cliffs, and at Trevaylor you're close enough to West Penwith's wild Atlantic edge to feel it in the air.

This is proper Cornwall for tent campers and campervan tourers who want the far west within easy reach — St Just sits at the tail end of the peninsula, where granite moorland meets the coastal path and old mining heritage runs deep into the headlands. Dog walkers have miles of cliff and heath to explore, and couples or families chasing that end-of-the-land feeling will find it here without the crowds of busier resorts further east. The pitch types keep things straightforward: grass for tents, hardstanding for vans, all welcome to bring dogs along.

You've got showers and toilets onsite, and campfires are worth asking about when you arrive — policies can shift with the season and the weather. The vibe leans toward the practical and unpretentious, a working site that puts you squarely in walking distance of some of Cornwall's most dramatic coast without any frills getting in the way.
