Roskilly’s Camping is a laid-back, grassy campsite set on the edge of a working organic dairy farm, deep in the countryside of the Lizard Peninsula in south-west Cornwall. Billed as a proper, no-frills farm experience, it’s run by Ben and his team, who mow the field weekly and keep things feeling fresh and cared for. The site is all about simplicity, with roomy pitches for tents and campervans surrounded by Cornish hedgerows, offering privacy, space for kids to play, and a real sense of peace. Facilities are handmade, practical, and spotless—two loo and shower blocks (with two more on the way), a communal barn for washing up and kettle-filling, freezer space for ice lollies, and USB charging points for keeping gadgets topped up. There’s a real sense of community here, thanks to shared picnic benches and friendly local advice in the barn. If you fancy a break from campfire cooking, Roskilly’s own restaurant serves up food all day, with plenty of local, organic produce and occasional live music to keep things lively.
As for things to do, you’re right on the edge of Cornwall’s best: the South West Coast Path is at your doorstep for big, blustery walks with sea views, and you can meander through woodland and ponds on the farm itself, perhaps meeting some of the resident farmyard animals along the way. The local beaches are a mix of well-known stretches and some quieter, tucked-away coves, perfect for a splash about or a sunny afternoon on the sand. The Lizard Peninsula is also dotted with fishing villages to explore, and there are local pubs and shops just a short stroll away if you fancy a pint or an ice cream (homemade, of course). Between walks, swims, and lazy afternoons in the restaurant with live tunes, this part of Cornwall really does feel like a proper, old-fashioned getaway—simple pleasures in a place that lets you unwind without much fuss.
