Camping at Prussia Cove
With only 12 generous pitches for camping around the hedge of a two acre field, it isn’t too noisy and there is plenty of room for playing in the middle. The sea and Lizard peninsula is the view to the south-east, just along the Cornish coast.
The simple facilities comprise two loos and two showers in the ladies and the same in the gents. Beside these are a line of four Belfast sinks with hot and cold water for washing up etc. Hot water is included in the daily fee but visitors are asked to be economical and turn off the taps. There is a large brick built pizza oven for anyone or a group who would like to use it. A freezer is available for ice packs. The sea is less than ten minutes walk down the drive.
Pitches are roughly 9m x 9m.

Campsite FAQ’s
Can we have a firepit?
Suspended ‘firepits’ are fine but please don’t dig into the ground. Some scorching of the grass is acceptable. Building a fire on the ground is not allowed
Can we transport kayaks and canoes etc. to the beach by car?
Regrettably, owing to the very limited space for cars near the water’s edge, this is not possible. But it isn’t far to carry them
What do we do with all our rubbish and recycling?
Good question! Try and keep your general waste to a minimum and separate it in the containers provided. It is expensive and time consuming to deal with so please do your very best to help
Can we bring a dog?
Yes, but please only one and be very considerate as dogs can cause quite a lot of annoyance to others
How far is the nearest pub?
About a mile and a half up the road to The Packet which has good outside space at the back and serves excellent food

- LIABILITY. It is understood by the tenant that Porth-en-Alls enjoys a coastal location and great care must be taken by tenants when walking the unfenced paths and over rocks. Tenants should be aware of the tide when using the beaches and swimming in the sea which, although considered ‘safe bathing’ can, of course, be dangerous.

Inflatables, kayaks, diving gear etc. must be carried and may not be delivered by car at any time. Cycling down the drive is not permitted. Also, short cuts across the fields to Piskies etc. are not allowed as it is farmland only and misleads the general public.
