Motorhome Stopovers in Long Downs

Long Downs is a small settlement in mid-Cornwall, close to the A394 between Penryn and Helston, sitting on the higher ground between Falmouth Bay and the Helford River area. It’s a low-key spot with no great size of its own, but its position puts it within easy reach of the Fal estuary, the Lizard Peninsula to the south, and Falmouth to the west.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops in the Long Downs area — handy for motorhomers who want a quieter base for exploring the Lizard, the Helford Passage, or the countryside around Penryn without paying coastal campsite prices. Campervan stops here suit those touring the southern tip of Cornwall.
