  • Family-friendly farm campsite 20 minutes’ drive from Helston, Cornwall
  • Kennack Sands 15 minutes; 25 minutes to Lizard Point
  • Animal feeding; organic ice cream; restaurant; live music in summer
Small, family-run and very family-friendly with lots of animals nearby, Roskilly Camping is a low-key farm site tucked away in south-west Cornwall, 20 minutes’ drive from Helston. Despite its remote location, there’s masses to do round and about, like exploring the farm ponds and feeding the gentle Jersey cows in the neighbouring fields. The campsite has large grass pitches in a well-maintained field surrounded by mature Cornish hedges. Spotless loos and showers, a small communal area with washing-up and waste disposal are available too. No need to worry about catering for the kids, as there is a restaurant serving up locally sourced food all day long – as well as organic ice creams and sundaes made from milk produced by the aforementioned Jersey cows. In summer, things really get going with live music from local bands. But back to those animals; cows, chickens, goats, pigs and geese can all be fed by hand – surely a favourite with the kids? Just ask the site owners and they’ll organise a session for you. And looking further afield, there are loads of sandy beaches and pretty seaside villages within 15 minutes’ drive.

What customers say

Peaceful, well-kept site with luxury loos. Flat pitches, basic outdoor kitchen with freezer/charging. Great farm cafe nearby. Lovely walks, animals. Some found Wi-Fi/signal poor, a few noted rooster noise or wanted more loos. Friendly staff, relaxed vibe.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The site despite not being huge, was clean and quiet. The toilets were well kept with plenty of supplies for those who are staying and the shared area in the middle has recycling points, water facilities and a kettle which is handy for those without access to hot water. The pitches were nice and flat which as a family in a van, makes a huge difference.

Disliked Despite making a member of staff aware in the ice cream shop we had arrived, we were then advised to pitch up and someone would come round and check us in properly. We did not see anyone in terms of running the campsite. The showers also did not warm up so brace yourselves for a very brisk shower! Thankfully the weather was hot so the cold wasn’t too much of a concern!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked I really loved this site.
The bathroom/shower cubicles were great with quick hot water and plenty of space.
The restaurant on site had delicious food and a discount for campers, I ate there both nights I stayed.
Walking areas which were lovely with a little farm animal area.
Lovely surroundings and the staff were nice.
Plenty of space on site and I got to spend a really pleasant few nights.

Disliked The showers flooded but cleared fairly quickly when the water was turned off.
No gate at the entrance so I did feel like security was a bit low, didn't have any issues during my stay though.
There are cockerels not far from the campsite that start up pretty early in the morning so maybe bring some ear plugs if that's a bother. These things didn't detract much from my stay.
