Mousehole Camping
Budget-friendly tent and motorhome base on the Penwith coast, a short walk from Mousehole harbour with Mounts Bay at your feet.
Mousehole Camping sits beside the village football ground at Trungle Parc, near Paul, a five-minute drive from Penzance. The location is the whole point: Mousehole village and its historic harbour are a short walk, the South West Coast Path passes nearby with panoramic views across Mounts Bay, and the full Penwith peninsula, Newlyn, Lamorna Cove, Sennen, Land's End, is within easy reach by car or bike.
The campsite runs 35 pitches for tents, campervans, and motorhomes, with a handful of bell tents for those who want a bed made up on arrival. The electric hook-ups, showers, laundry, and a bring-your-own fire pit policy keep things practical without pretension. Facilities share the football club building and are basic but functional. The site wardens Darren and Lynda are a constant presence and guests reliably note the warmth of the welcome.
As a base for exploring the far west of Cornwall, this is hard to beat at the price. Paul village is a short walk, with its ancient church and a pub. Newlyn's fishing fleet, the RNLI Penlee Lifeboat station, Penzance town, and St Ives are all day-trip territory. Bell tent glamping is available for those who want a softer landing in a serious location.
