- Campfires
- Near beach
Henry's sits above Caerthillian Valley on the edge of The Lizard village, a couple of minutes' walk from the shops, pubs and pasty counters. Most pitches are level and all have an electric hook-up, with a handful looking out to sea. The planting is part cottage garden, part exotic, and some pitches are tucked behind low walls while others are more open.
There is a small on-site shop, a few animals roaming the paddock (ducks, chickens, goats and a rhea), and a washing machine and tumble dryer. It is open all year, but summer weekends in 2026 were fully booked well ahead, so write or phone early. Dogs are not accepted in the school summer holidays.
- Electric hook-up on every pitch
- Two-minute walk to The Lizard village
- Coast path ten minutes away, Kynance Cove about 25 minutes on foot
- Open all year
- Brazier hire and raised fires allowed
