  • 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 no-frills spot gets props for location, peace and quiet, and simplicity. Perfect for a chilled break with wildlife. Easy access to towns and decent showers are a plus. Shower temp issues were reported, but managers say it's a temporary thermostatic shower quirk needing gentle fiddling.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Quiet,secure,convienient to local town,near A30,

Disliked No hot hand wash facility or hand gell ,only one good shower as other one went hot n cold, a lot of dog poo as in considerate owners let dogs run about! Owners rubbish left around site, didn’t see owners over 4 days stay!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry that some aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations, but are also glad to hear that it was not all bad and you enjoyed your stay, once again thank you for a good review.

We completely agree regarding the dog mess and dogs running around. Dogs should remain with their owners and owners are expected to clean up after them. Unfortunately, we occasionally have guests who don’t show the site or other campers the consideration we would hope for, and we’re sorry this affected your stay. We are now in talks of creating a dog only area to help make the site enjoyable for all.

We would just like to clarify that we are at the campsite every day cleaning the showers and toilets and completing changeovers of our 4 bell tents and converted van. I did actually introduce myself to you while I was cleaning the toilets, at the time you were driving over to use the facilities. I mistakenly thought you were looking lost and come over. I appreciate you may not have realised I was one of the owners but my partner and I are the only staff who own, run and maintain it.

As check-out is 10am, we usually carry out the main toilet and shower clean from around 10:30am, when the facilities are quieter. This allows us to clean thoroughly and change the compost toilet containers discreetly without inconveniencing guests.
We do understand your comments about the hand-washing facilities, and this is something we’re already improving. At the end of this season, the current toilets are being replaced with proper flushing toilets and hand-washing sinks. We agree, it would be much better for guest and staff maintenance.

Hand sanitiser and toilet roll are provided, but unfortunately these are regularly taken, along with other items such as our solar lights this year, which is frustrating for a small independent campsite and becomes costly.

Thankfully, most of our campers are lovely, considerate guests who respect the site and each other, yourselves included. We appreciate your honest feedback and will aim to address these as we totally agree.

Loved it will highly recommend…

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.
