About St Hilary Campsite

A trip to the Cornwall coast, you say? With St Hilary Campsite as your base, you'll be set to stroll along to the local sands in about half an hour. Five minutes in the car will land you in Marazion, where the beach has sensational views of the island-bound medieval castle St Michael's Mount—crossing the causeway at low tide or taking a boat at high tide will help you see it up close and personal. Sandy beaches are a common sight in this part of the country; many more are a short drive away, including Sennen Cove, just above Land's End.

This friendly site is based on an equestrian centre in the small parish of St Hilary, with helpful amenities including showers, flushing toilets and a modern café serving hot drinks, snacks and pizzas throughout the day. There's also something a bit more unusual: Guy's Butterfly House, home to species from across Africa, Asia and South America. Excellent pubs with outdoor seating are 15 minutes' walk away in Goldsithney, alongside tea rooms.

A lovely little campsite with really welcoming hosts. The facilities were immaculate and very clean which made our stay very comfortable. A peaceful well-kept place with a very friendly atmosphere, our children had an amazing time. A lovely café on site and wonderful home-made pizza's sold in the evenings 10/10. Close to some lovely beaches and local pubs. Would definitely recommend it and will definitely visit again.
