On their way to hemmick beach

  • Roseland Peninsula site within walking distance of the beach
  • A 10-minute drive from The Lost Gardens of Heligan
  • Sea views, large play areas and coffee lounge on site
Just look at that beach… Seaview Gorran Haven Holiday Park is at the start of the Roseland Peninsula on Cornwall's south coast, surrounded by a patchwork of fields and the blue sea. It's a 20-minute stroll from spectacular sands at Hemmick Beach and in a stunningly scenic park with colourful flowers and views over the ocean and nearby Dodman Point The site is centrally set for heaps of attractions including the South West Coast Path, which is within walking distance, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, 10 minutes' drive away. The rainforest biomes of the Eden Project is within half an hour's drive of the site. St Austell is the closest big town, about 20 minutes' drive away. As well as being in a prime spot near the coast, Seaview Gorran Haven Holiday Park has a play area with swings and slides, plus plenty of room for kids to run around at the park's big games areas. There is also a secure dog-walking area where pups can run free, and a coffee lounge in the Chapel reception area where you can grab a hot drink before a big day out. A heated outdoor pool is open during high season only (and subject to weather conditions).

What customers say

Spacious, private pitches, clean individual shower/toilet cubicles, and a heated outdoor pool are highlights. Great for families with play area and football pitch. Good for beaches/attractions, but approach roads can be narrow. Some facilities need updating; no shop.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked The pool was sufficient. The guy with the husky the groundsman he was a lovely friendly chap very hardworking and didn't seem to stop always has a smile. He actually deserves a holiday (not seaview park) or a pay rise. Washing machine worked and dryer. Reception & coffee shop are to lure you in as these are nice as pics show.

Disliked I'm No Karen but you want an honest review and not a sugar coated one for all the snowflakes here goes.... ground was too solid even for heavy duty pegs. People sick on camp which we then contracted Neurovirus 🤢 so spent 3 days of our holiday in the tent with sick children. The toilets were diabolical about 6 shower/toilet rooms for the entire campsite with showers that had no shower heads they're all flooded stink of urine! It's not great that the toilets are for all and not male & female seperate blocks as several children couldn't lock the doors so many were walked in on or locked in once inside as locks were no good for kids. The receptionist was quite rude upon arrival as we arrived an hour early she clearly stated I'm not meant to let you on till 2 well thats pretty crap as you're on at 2pm off at 10am so technically paying for 2 days you're not on it. The access to the beach is not good if you have difficulty walking as it's a very steep hill down and up. Pollution on beach and not informed. If you want as stated "seaview" bring a telescopic ladder to get you up a tree and a pair of binoculars failing that get a drone! Microwave and cooker are possibly the reason for norovirus!!! 🤢 grass pitch was right on the bins needs moving really, told me when booking no electric field available yet parked me on an electric pitch! 🤦🏻‍♀️ playground dated! If you want a seaview holiday park i recommend the one you pass driving in as we thought that was ours! "Heligan caravan and camping"

Liked Was a lovely peaceful site. Beautiful surroundings, lovely swimming pool and clean out and about. Great park and field space for the kids to play football and run around. The kitchen was great with grill, hob and kettle when the weather was rubbish we could all use to cook food. Separate rooms for showers and toilets which was great.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Brilliant campsite, really well run, great facilities, the pool was fab- kids loved it. The coffee lounge is a lovely touch. Hemmick beach is a 15min walk down hill from the site…up hill back was a struggle with 2 young children 😅. Beautiful beach, when the tide goes out it reveals gorgeous pools perfect for little ones to play in.
Will definitely be returning 😊

Disliked No pub or shop in walking distance.

Route directions

From St Austell, take the B3273 towards Mevagissey for approximately three miles, at the top of the steep hill, turn right signposted to The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Seaview International. Follow this road and turn for the yellow Seaview Lodges sign. If you are using a GPS or satnav device then do not carry straight on at the top of the hill as this will take you into the centre of Mevagissey where the streets are extremely narrow and often blocked. Please turn right at the top.

Local attractions

Seaview is close to the South West Coast Path – and sands – of Restormel, a top spot for cyclists and walkers, and among the coves, safe clean beaches and jaw-droppingly scenic coast of the Roseland Peninsula. St Mawes (35 minutes) and St Just (an hour and 20 minutes) are both within easy reach; access sailing, fishing boat hire and kayaking nearby at Mevagissey (15 minutes). You could also take a boat trip along the Fal from Falmouth (55 minutes), pedal the Clay Trail for five miles from the Eden Project (half an hour) to Wheal Martyn, or venture determinedly forth for Cornwall's old castles and buildings, including the Caerhays Castle (five minutes) manor house. Kids will surely like the Shipwreck Treasure Museum (20 minutes), within a short drive at the port of Charlestown, and Flambards Theme Park (an hour) and the Crealy Theme Park & Resort (an hour and 45 minutes). A football golf centre, indoor soft play and the Wingz bird and animal sanctuary are all a few minutes' drive from St Austell. Regattas, carnivals and festivals run throughout Cornwall all year round; ask the Seaview team when you arrive what's going on locally.
