About Chy Carne Camping and Touring Park
Tucked near Kennack Sands on the Lizard Peninsula, Chy Carne offers a friendly, family-run base for exploring Cornwall's dramatic southern coast. The site welcomes dogs and allows campfires, making it popular with families and groups who value that relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. Facilities are functional rather than fancy—hot showers, drinking water, chemical disposal—and WiFi keeps you connected when signal dips.
With 91 electric and 44 non-electric grass pitches, there's decent choice whether you're in a motorhome or tent. Some visitors note the site can feel a touch tired in places, but the warmth of the welcome and proximity to beautiful beaches more than compensate. It's a solid, unpretentious option if you want straightforward camping with Kennack Sands and the South West Coast Path right on your doorstep.

What visitors say
This campsite is amazing wish I could keep it a secret. But I do think everyone should visit. The grounds are well kept. Lots of planters around lots are blooming at the moment and new ones coming along nicely. Great place for children most children are in by 10pm. So it's very peaceful. The owners and their family are so friendly and helpful. The views are spectacular. 5 minute walk to the beach a bus service that runs every hour. The shower blocks are clean and laundry open when ever you want to use it. Must stay.

Lovely campsite. Clean and well maintained. The owners are very welcoming, friendly and helpful and opened the shop for us when we needed anything. The toilets and showers are very clean and there is lots of water access points and dog bins around the campsite. There is also a children’s play area and swings. The pitches are on a slight slope but have lovely views of the sea. The beach is a short distance with 2 cafes. I would highly recommend this campsite and we look forward to returning.
