Em va agradar We stay at Roselidden every year, usually with friends who also have young children. The site is perfect for us. The cafe, the cleanliness of the toilets & shower rooms, the donkeys and sheep and the space for the children to run and play are all plus points for us.

No em va agradar A limited cafe menu at the moment, due to Dawn injuring her hand. 😢 Luckily the coffees and cakes are fantastic.

Em va agradar Returned again to Roselidden after a wonderful stay last year. Location, welcome and facilities are clean and spot on.

No em va agradar With a view to being responsible in the drought, so avoiding fire, and being aware of the excellent café, we didn't bring any means to cook. On arrival, Dawn informed us that the Cafe wasn't going to be open for our stay, not even for coffee (Monday night). Thankfully Tesco was open so we got cold cans of coffee for the morning to save the day. Please update the Pitch Up page as it says the cafe is open daily in August!

Del gerent: Apologies we are not open Mon - Weds

(due to rising costs we have paired back our availability) Pitchup has been updated.

Pitchup has been updated so apologies for that.

Em va agradar Lovely site, very good facilities and very easy access to helston.

Sorry we are not open Mon - Wed 😀

Em va agradar Fantastic small quiet campsite with immaculate facilities. The owner is lovely, there’s the option for a delicious breakfast, great coffee and cakes at the on-site cafe.
We walked into Helston for the evening which took about half an hour. We would definitely stay again.

Em va agradar Dawn is super welcoming and makes you feel right at home. Lovely big open field, pitch where you like as long as not on top of your neighbours. Lovely cafe open few days a week and chocolate brownie to die for.
Stunning sunsets and views across the lizard area. Peaceful and quiet after hours, off the beaten track. The access lane is fine even with large vehicles just follow the directions sent to you in your check in email rather than sat nav. Beautiful area of Cornwall to explore. South coast lizzard, kynance and porthleven and short drive 30 mins to st Ives (we prefer the train in from St Erth).

Excellent EV charging 160kwh at McDonald 5 mins drive away. Or 50kwh at premier inn same location.

We would happily stay again and have recommended to our friends too. Thanks for a lovely experience.

No em va agradar Nothing..

Em va agradar Gender neutral facilities available. There are 2 gender neutral bathrooms containing a toilet and shower. They are within a portakabin style facility that has steps. They were well maintained.

There was baby changing in one of the gender neutral bathrooms, not sure about the binary ones.

There is also one ladies and one gents, which I would assume also contain a toilet and shower but am not sure. These were on the same level as the ground, so may be more suitable with mild mobility difficulties. There was also a sign saying an additional ladies is available in reception.

Donkey petting :)

Beautiful starry sky on a clear night

Knowing the cafe is available reduced anxiety around being fully food prepared given the quite isolated location.

The cafe is inside with plenty of seating. The menu is pretty diverse considering its a small campsite cafe where only campers are likely to use it. I had a brief scan of the menu and was impressed at how much was available. It looked like it was great for breakfast, lunch or tea and cake. The cake was good. There was Gluten free and vegan cake options. I didn’t look at the menu for these but given it has been thought of for the cake, it is a possibility.

There are also 2 enclosed and covered but outdoors seating areas plus the small reception area inside a building. This means there are plenty of options for rainy days on site.

Site has a nice view.

There are some outdoor seating, it looked like some toys were put out (but they may have been a campers), the reception has charging available with lots of 3 pin sockets, there was a washing machine and I saw books either here or in the cafe or both, 2 washing up sinks which quickly provided hot water and offered washing up liquid and sponge, drinking water, BBQ coals bin and main bins in car park at entrance to pitches, chemical disposal.

Close to Helston, seal sanctuary. The SW coast path isn’t too far from Helston.

If noise sensitive: I noticed a number of distracting/annoying man made noises, which are likely due to the farm location. There was also a cockerel in the morning. I couldn’t hear it in my van (I heard it whilst using facilities around 5am) but would have heard it in a tent and the donkeys occasionally make some noise, but I personally enjoyed that. It is a small location with plenty of pitches so you are likely to be close to others, so if chit chat or tent flapping bothers you, it likely isn’t the site for you. Although it may be considered a quiet location by most, if you are sensitive and seeking some peace, go for the donkeys and cake instead.

Mobility Accessibility (caveat: I do not have mobility issues myself so this is from the point of view of an able bodied person trying to provide accessibility information): No specific accessible toilet/shower seen.
The site is flat, some pitches are close to facilities and all are not far.
Food available for breakfast and lunch on days cafe is open.
Terrain is predominantly mowed grass. There is a narrow gravel path in front of the binary facilities and leading into the cafe but there is an entrance to the cafe from the grass too. There is a narrow sloped gravel path to reception but you can also walk around via the road and path to get to reception.
The binary gendered facilities do not have steps.
The washing up is under cover and quite a tight space in front of the sink.
The drinking water tap is over a square shower tray so may be a stretch for some.

No em va agradar There were 2 person prices for tents but I didn't see any for vans. As a solo camper, I would have preferred a slightly lower price but chose to stay as it was a helpful location for attending an event in Helston.

Not aware of anywhere to access from site, doesn’t mean there wasn’t but it was accessed via small country roads, so likely not a site to pitch and go out and about without a vehicle (or bicycle).

Del gerent: Thanks for the review Sam. Great ideas 😀

Em va agradar Lovely family, really accommodating and the facilities are top notch and clean; not to mention the picturesque view. The campsite is situatiated near a lot of the amenities as well as tourist places from hidden gems to major tourist destinations such as St. Ives. Perfect for families, especially for toddlers. Highly recommend this campsite :)
