Friendly back to basics four-acre site on the outskirts of Camborne
A five-minute drive from the nearest beach and Tehidy Country Park
Barbecues permitted on site; food shops, restaurants and pubs nearby

Heading to Cornwall in search of cosy coves, splendid surf and mining trails? Rosewarne Campsite is a welcoming family and dog-friendly site on the outskirts of Camborne, a five-minute drive from the nearest beach. Tick off the local beaches… will it be surfing down at Portreath beach (five minutes’ drive) or the waves at Godrevy beach (15 minutes’ drive) first? If walking and cycling trails are also on your mind, Tehidy Woods and Tehidy Country Park are five minutes’ drive away too, or there are mining trails and mountain biking courses locally. With four acres of space, there’s plenty to do on site, whether you’d rather kick back and have a mini snooze or rustle up some food on the barbecue (bring your own barbecue and a stand or borrow a concrete block from the site to prop it up). Handily, the site is also a five-minute drive from Camborne (a 25-minute walk if you’d rather go for a stroll). Here, there are supermarkets, locally-run shops, restaurants, pubs and cafés… or if you’re tired out from the day’s activities, there are many takeaways that will deliver to the site. While this site will help you reconnect with nature (there are basic facilities only, including a dishwashing area and composting toilet), it’s a five-minute drive from the A30, so you certainly won’t feel cut off from the rest of Cornwall too if you’d like to explore more of the coastline and heritage sites.

What customers say

This campsite offers a back-to-basics, chilled atmosphere in a good location, just a 5-minute drive from town, with plentiful birdlife. While guests appreciated the showers, some found the thermostatic controls temperamental, with one reviewer experiencing difficulties adjusting the temperature from boiling hot. Management explained this can happen with quick adjustments and offered to reset the showers.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Good location. It's back to basics and that's what we like. Is was nice a chilled and lots of birds around which was nice to watch. Good connections to local area with town literally 5 mins by car. Nice to have showers!

Disliked The showers were a bit weird. One would be boiling hot and could not be changed to cold (The tempreture changer on the tap did nothing) and one was cold with no heat (although this started working on day two)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi thank you for the review. So sorry about the showers, they are thermostatic and quick movements of the temperature gauge from one to another can cause it to be really confused.

We try to set these to a perfect middle temperature but this can be easily undone with one extreme or the other. The shower only likes slow slight turns at a time.

We are more than happy to come out and reset this.

So glad you enjoyed your stay despite the extremely warm shower.
