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. ## What's nearby - Guy's Butterfly House next door - St Hilary Church 200m away - Guy Harling Electrical 350m away Distances as the crow flies, via Google ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? ⛺ Tent pitches ✓ Yes ⚡ Electric 🚐 Caravans welcome ✕ No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome ✕ No ✨ Glamping available ✕ No 🛖 Lodges & statics ✕ No ## Pitch types - • Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch - • Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch Pitch details as listed by the booking provider — availability and exact pricing shown at checkout. ## Hook-up ⚡ Electric hook-up ✓ 🔌 EV charging ✕ ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers ✓ 📶 Free WiFi ✕ 🏊 Swimming pool ✕ 🛒 Onsite shop ✕ 🎠 Children's play area ✕ 🍖 BBQs allowed ✕ 🔥 Campfires allowed ✕ 🧺 Laundry ✕ 🎣 Fishing ✕ 🛁 Hot tub ✕ ♿ Accessible facilities ✕ 🅿️ Hardstanding pitches ✕ 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site ✕ On-site restaurant/cafe Free wifi Picnic table Shower available Toilet block Washing-up area Family friendly Motorcycle friendly Dogs allowed all year Peaceful Walkers' paradise Communal freezer Communal fridge Bar nearby Dog walk nearby Public transport nearby ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking — here's what delivers near this site. ### 🥡 Just Eat — 3 takeaways deliver to this postcode (TR20 9DQ) Le Raj - Indian Restaurant & Takeaway ★ 5.0 · Indian, Chicken Mando's Peri Peri & Greek ★ 5.0 · Peri Peri, Greek New Delhi Indian Palace & Ricardos Pizza House ★ 4.5 · Indian, Pizza Checked 26 Aug 2026 — always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Morrisons, Penzance 3.8 miles - Asda, Hayle 3.9 miles - Sainsbury's, Penzance 4 miles - Tesco, Penzance 4.3 miles - Lidl, Hayle 4.8 miles - Co-op 4.8 miles - Aldi, Camborne 8.1 miles Straight-line distances — the drive will be longer.
