Tucked into the Cornish countryside, Little Trethvas feels like slipping off the edge of the world—just fields, birdsong, and the kind of quiet that makes you realize how much noise you've been carrying.
This is proper back-to-basics camping for tents and campervans, the sort of place that suits couples after a bit of peace, solo campers chasing headspace, or anyone who's happy to leave the entertainment to the landscape. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing yours. The lack of listed facilities suggests an off-grid vibe—come prepared, check what's actually available when you book, and embrace the simplicity.
Campfires are a possibility depending on conditions, so ask on arrival if you're hoping for an evening by the flames. It's quiet, it's low-key, and it's unapologetically minimal—perfect if that's exactly what you're after, less so if you want showers and a shop round the corner. Bring what you need, settle in, and let Cornwall do the rest.
