Camping & Holiday Parks in St Austell

Snozzle! No, not something the BFG might do when he’s tired, but the nickname of Cornish town St Austell, also known as the capital of the Cornish Alps for its white mini-mountains and remnants of the china clay industry: bike along the Clay Trail from St Austell with a stop off at the China Clay Country Park for a taste of Cornish history and scenery - with a few pit stops along the way to sample Cornish produce (St Austell has an award-winning brewery too).

St Austell campsites and holiday parks are also within easy reach of the world famous Eden Project, set in a former clay pit, and The Lost Gardens of Heligan, where we can’t guarantee you’ll actually see Ents but which seems the most likely place in Britain to do so. For more inspiration on things to do in St Austell, have a look at the Local Attractions section of each of our listings, which have details on activities, must-sees, National Trust properties, pubs and cycle routes – or search St Austell campsites by things to do on site or nearby.
