  • Family-friendly farm campsite 20 minutes’ drive from Helston, Cornwall
  • Flambards Theme Park 20 minutes’ drive; Kennack Sands 15 minutes
  • 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

Quiet, relaxed spot. Flat sites, modern loos. Liked the farm animals & great food/ice cream. Close to SW Coast Path. A few noted limited wash-up sinks & hit-and-miss hot water. Most found it well-kept, though some hygiene/pitch issues popped up. Good find overall.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Location was great, staff friendly, nice restaurant cool farm on site

Disliked They cut the grass and leave it so it sticks to you your feet and blows everywhere, no WiFi or phone signal at all, the cockerels are really close to the campsite and wake you up at 5am every morning

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would recommend this place, very relaxed with genuine family staff.
