The blaze started in a parked car before spreading to the camper next to it fanned by blustery winds.
A vehicle parked behind it was also reported to have been badly melted.
Photos shared on social media showed a plume of black smoke rising above the fishing port, which was busy with tourists.
A local business owner said that it was her campervan that had been destroyed, according to the Falmouth Packet.
She wrote on Facebook: “It was my campervan. A car on fire set my van on fire and melted car behind.”
Cornwall Fire Service said it received calls at about 3.40pm.
A fire service spokesperson said crews from Helston and Penzance used two hose reels to extinguish the blaze.
No-one was hurt in the fire.
