  • Five-acre rural Cornwall campsite with views of the Lizard Peninsula
  • Porthleven beach and Flambards Theme Park within a 10-minute drive
  • Café on site, plus animals to meet
The Lizard Peninsula, St Michael’s Mount, St Ives and all sorts of splendid spots along Cornwall’s north and south coasts are all yours for the taking when staying at Roselidden House Camping. This quiet site 10 minutes’ drive from Helston is in a fantastically handy position for exploring – or for simply sitting in the five-acre field and enjoying the views out over the Lizard Peninsula. There’s plenty of space here to relax and spread out so you’ll never be bunched up with other guests. Your neighbours will include the site’s own pet sheep and foster donkeys, so although dogs are allowed they’ll need to be kept on a lead at all times. All the essential facilities are provided too: guests will have access to a washing-up area, a freezer, charging points and a couple of bathroom blocks with family rooms as well as separate men’s and ladies’ facilities. This is a site that goes beyond just the essentials though – it’s also got a café which sells breakfasts, light lunches, drinks and cakes along with a few essentials including fresh milk (opening hours vary through the year so check the notices for details). Once you’ve seen the Lizard views from afar, it’s a fine idea to get out and take a closer look – there are some stunning beaches down there, with plenty of walks and watersports to get stuck into as well. Family attractions like Flambards Theme Park and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary are also close by for kid-friendly days out.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, friendly, and well-managed campsite, praised for its immaculately clean facilities, including showers and toilets. Visitors highlight the welcoming and helpful owners, the peaceful atmosphere, and the convenience of the on-site cafe serving delicious food. The presence of animals like donkeys and sheep is a popular feature, especially for families. While the location is convenient for exploring Cornwall, some guests note that access roads can be narrow. A few reviews mention the pool no longer being operational.

Liked Really amazing camp site, really friendly staff and and fantastic owner. Felt at home here! We will definitely have to stay again, children loved the sheep and donkeys too lovely touch. Café fairly priced, vanilla flapjack was absolutely amazing so tasty. Little touches, washing up liquid, hand soaps, charging point, fridge, freezer, kids toys, family games, honestly truly fantastic, a real family camp site. Thank you!

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Lovely quiet place with wonderful views, a great cafe, and donkeys to watch. Very friendly owner made us feel welcome. There is a toy shed for the kids too.

Disliked The camp site has no cons, but i wouldn't recommend it for large motorhomes if you value your paint work. Purely because of the access roads are super tight.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch (two person)

Liked there is a good view from the site of the distant hills and you can also see the sea to the south, very close to Porthleven, and you get good sunsets.
The host is very friendly and informative.
Good showers and very clean toilets.

Disliked Narrow lanes leading to the site so be prepared to back up to a passing point.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was the perfect site for camping with our young family. We had a warm welcome. Beautiful location, with views as far as the sea. The children loved the rescue donkeys in the paddock. Great facilities which are immaculate. And the on site cafe is brilliant with delicious homemade cakes and one of the best Cornish breakfasts I've ever had. Can't recommend enough.

Liked We had the field to ourselves and despite the soggy weather we loved it. Super friendly welcome and gorgeous clean little site with everything you need, plus some adorable donkey friends!
We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the crate on site.
We will definitely be back, hopefully with some sunshine.

Local attractions

Cornwall holidays must surely all include extensive exploration of the amazing coastline – and you’ll be well placed to do that from Roselidden House. Top spots on the Lizard Peninsula like Kynance Cove and Kennack Sands are about half an hour’s drive away (and linked by spectacular coast path walks), or you could head to the likes of Porthleven (15 minutes’ drive), Praa Sands (20 minutes) or Poldhu (20 minutes). Other spots to seek out along the coast might include St Michael’s Mount (25 minutes), Trebah Garden (25 minutes) or – up on the north coast – St Ives (35 minutes) for its excellent mix of art galleries and gorgeous beaches. Although the coast draws much of the glory, there’s much to see and do inland as well. Perhaps you’d like to scream down the rides of Flambards Theme Park (10 minutes), have a more gentle journey on the heritage trains of the Helston Railway (10 minutes) or spend some time meeting the residents of the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (15 minutes)?
