The camping field at Franchis, near Mullion

A Woodland Holiday Park near Mullion

Franchis Creek – known for many years as Franchis Holiday Park – lies at Cury Cross Lanes, just outside Mullion, between farmland and woodland on the Lizard Peninsula. It's a quiet, natural setting, with woodland walks, a stream and a waterfall on site, and a dark night sky that is perfect for stargazing.

The park offers camping, caravans and stylish ensuite shacks, so whether you're bringing a tent or touring van, or would rather have a comfortable shack to come back to after a day on the coast, there's a way to stay. You book directly with the park through the Franchis Creek website.

Exploring the Lizard Peninsula

Franchis is just a couple of minutes' drive from Mullion and about five miles from Helston, making it a handy base for the whole of the Lizard and West Cornwall. The South West Coast Path is close by, with Poldhu Cove, Polurrian Cove and Mullion Cove among the nearest beaches and harbours, and Kynance Cove and Lizard Point – mainland Britain's most southerly point – a short drive south.

Head east and the landscape changes to the sheltered wooded creeks of the Helford River, with sub-tropical gardens, waterside pubs and quiet lanes to explore. The Lizard's mild climate means there's always something to do, whatever the season.
