I fancy camping at or near the Lizard in Cornwall with my young familiy at the start of the summer hols. I love campsites with sea views so I quite fancy the look of "Henrys, The Lizard and Namparra, Kuggar" Campsites for our outwell sun valley 8 tent for 2 weeks. BUT these don't have reviews!!!

Anyone with inside knowlege? or other recommendations?

Cheers Jon.

Someone was asking about Henry's awhile ago, try doing a search.

Cheers Guys that's really helpful!

Sorry it took a while for me to say thanks, it's been a buisy few eves in a row.

I've sent off a deposit for Nampara in between posting and checking replies but will have a look at these you've suggested.

Thanks again

It was me asking about Henry's. 

Just came back from the Lizard yesterday...  lovely place, but we were really unlucky with the weather - rained 3 days out of 5 - had to pack up when the trailer tent canvas was saturated and started to leak badly!  A week earlier & we would have been fine...

Anyway Henry's was great.  Looks a bit of a junkyard when you turn up, but the pitches are quite private and sectioned off & the site has beautiful views.  There is some work going on repairing the barn, so bits of the site were a bit untidy. 

The camping areas were very well maintained though & people gardening almost every day in-between the showers. 

Off-camp there is great walking when the weather is good & towns like Falmouth & Penzance you can try when it isn't.  St Ives is a bit of a nightmare these days though - you can't get near it by car & parking on the edge of town was about £5 per day.  Couldn't find a space anyway so took out business elsewhere...(shame coz I really wanted to visit!)

For St Ives the very best thing is to park at a station up the railway line a bit and get the train in - it is one of the most beautiful train rides going and the station is an easy walk to the harbour - much less stressful! J
