  • Five-acre rural Cornwall campsite with views of the Lizard Peninsula
  • Porthleven beach and Cornish Seal Sanctuary within a 15-minute drive
  • Café on site (Thursday to Sunday), 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 simple and quiet site 10 minutes’ drive from Helston is in a fantastically handy position for exploring – or for just 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. Facilities are fairly simple but with all the essentials in place: 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 (open from Thursday to Sunday) which sells breakfasts, light lunches, drinks and cakes along with a few basic groceries including fresh milk. 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 the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and Helston Railway are also close by for kid-friendly days out.

What customers say

This friendly, well-run campsite is in a quiet, central spot perfect for exploring Cornwall. Guests rave about the spotless facilities, showers and toilets, and the warm welcome. 'The Crate' café is a hit for great food. Donkeys, sheep, and spacious pitches are a plus. Narrow lanes are noted as typical for the area. Enjoy a relaxed vibe with no organized fun.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)

Liked Clean facilities with hot showers.
Great for families - donkeys, big enclosed field with lots of space and a shed full of toys for little ones.
Good amenities with phone charging, fridge & freezer.
Quiet and secluded whilst being within very short drive of Helston town.

Garreth S. 5 reviews

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)

Liked Beautiful site , spotlessly clean and lovely little touches from the very friendly owner Dawn . Fantastic views , great location and exactly what we needed. Unfortunately we ran out of time to use the cafe but the food looked delicious. Price for the campsite was really reasonable too. My daughter and I definitely will want to return

Disliked Nothing , just a note if you are towing (we wasn’t) check the map carefully and head off the Falmouth to Helston road rather than any other way.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked 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.

Disliked A limited cafe menu at the moment, due to Dawn injuring her hand. 😢 Luckily the coffees and cakes are fantastic.

From the manager: Thanks.for the lovely review ! Sorry about the pasty hand 😘😘

Route directions

Please note the entrance gate is slightly tight at 9 feet wide – it is wide enough for caravans but if you are towing please swing in wide to line up. Many satnavs will take you along very narrow lanes; to avoid this, it's best to travel from the A394 (from either Falmouth or Helston), take the turning towards Trevenen Bal and follow the route from there.

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 have a nostalgic 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)?
