Henry’s Campsite is family-run and can be found at the most southerly point of Cornwall and some visitors have even said it feels like being in the ‘Caribbean‘.
On the site, there are a variety of different pitches including ones with a sea view.
Each has an electrical hookup, with some also surrounded by exotic plants.
As for facilities, the campsite has four showers, seven toilets, hot water, washing up facilities, a large washing machine and the showers cost 40p for three minutes.
For some quick essentials, there’s an onsite shop too that sells BBQ charcoal and even local cider.
Each pitch also comes with bricks, in case you want to create a firepit during the warm summer evenings.
To book, keen campers will need to email Henry’s Campsite directly with as many details as possible to secure a spot.
For those who would opt for glamping over camping, there’s the option to book the Bell Tent which comes with either a double bed and single beds, a lamp, rug, and a trunk.
The seaside campsite and its location is such a hit with travellers that it’s even been said to look like it belongs elsewhere.
One visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: “A campsite with a real difference – designed with thought, flair, and so many little touches that make you smile.
“We stayed on the 16th and 17th of September when the wind was howling and the rain pouring down, yet the ambience around the site (especially the main facilities) transported us to the Caribbean!”
Another called it an “outstanding site… such a gem I don’t want to share it!”
Adding to its beauty is the fact that it’s under half an hour away from Kynance Cove.
The beach was recently named the 26th best beach in Europe, according to Europe’s Best Beaches 2026 awards – and was the only one in England to make the list.
The beach is known for its soft white sand and bright blue waters – and it’s also one of the warmest stretches of coastline in the UK.
Aside from beaches, guests nearby can visit Lizard Village – it’s a great spot to grab a bite to eat whether that be the seaside staple fish and chips, to Cornish pasties or a cream tea.
The fishing village of Cadgwith Cove known for its pretty thatched cottages and shingle beach is just three miles away.
