  • Cornwall campsite in a flat five-acre field with sea views
  • A 10-minute walk to Trevaunance Cove and Trevellas Cove
  • Direct access to local footpaths; spacious play area
Tin mines, cool coves and steam railways… Sunny Corner is a top pick for laidback outdoor breaks on Cornwall's north coast, with plenty of things to do in easy reach. This small and well-maintained campsite is in a five-acre field on the edge of the village of St Agnes with stunning sea views, spacious pitches and easy access to all the village's amenities (about 10 minutes' walk away). Families certainly aren’t forgotten here, as the site is well equipped for all ages. There’s a spacious open field where the kids can blow off steam and make new friends in a safe and welcoming environment. And in terms of practicalities, Sunny Corner has functional toilets and showers for guests, all of which are well-maintained and a short walk away from the pitches. Sunny Corner is in the area of St Agnes known as Wheal Kitty, so you’ll only be a short five-minute walk from the historic buildings of the Blue Hills Tin Mine, where there’s a small exhibition about Cornwall's industrial past. Trevaunance Cove, a spectacular lifeguarded beach, and the more secluded Trevellas Cove are around a 10-minute walk away, while other coastal havens like Perranporth can be reached in as little as a 10-minute drive. Food on the brain too? Don’t worry, as you’ll be well set with a number of family-friendly cafés, pubs, restaurants and a couple of small supermarkets in the village that are easy to reach on foot within roughly 10-15 minutes.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: Fantastic site. Great size, flat pitches, big enough for large family tent and room to spare. Lots of space for kids to run around. Clean facilities. Good location for exploring without having to use the car.

Disliked: Would be nice to have warm water for washing up but we got round that.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: Lots of space, nice and level and good facilities! Would stay again :)

Disliked: Not a big deal at all but the entrance gate could open a little wider (gets stuck on gravel) so was a bit narrow with a van.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your review. The gates are actually meant to be pulled out and then you have the whole width of the entrance. I will put a sign up to say pull open rather than push😊

The campsite is well maintained with clean facilities. The directions given by…

Quiet zone unpowered grass tent or campervan site (adults only)

Liked: Location, pitch size, cleanliness of facilities, chilled environment

Disliked: Lack of facilities- only 2 showers and 4 toilets on site meant busy queues during peak times (I don't think the site was full). Showers were lukewarm.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. There are additional toilets and showers in the top field and bottom that you could have used. sorry if the showers were luke warm I wish you told us and we could have looked into it for you. We are building more showers and toilets this winter to meet the demand.

We love that this campsite has everything you think you may need…

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: We love that this campsite has everything you think you may need - USB charging stations, ample toilet and washing facilities, dishwashing areas and even a freezer! Everything on site is well-kept, clean, modern and in suitable working order. Would definitely return for a third time!

Disliked: It would be great to have access to hot water for dishwashing as cold water doesn’t always cut it. We would also appreciate regular three-pronged outlet points as there was nowhere for us to inflate our mattress.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We looking into having mini boilers for the washing up next year. You should have asked me and I would have pumped up your bed for you.

Local attractions

Get your hands on Cornish tin products to take home with you and see how the family goes about the ancient tin mining process at Blue Hills Tin Mine (five minutes' walk). After a lesson on the tin mining industry, there’s rockpooling at Trevaunance Cove (10 minutes' walk) or surfing at Perranporth (10 minutes' drive) to keep up the pace. Indeed, while there are so many places within around 10 minutes’ drive of the site, it doesn’t hurt to go a little further out, especially when there are coastal hotspots like Newquay (25 minutes) or Falmouth (35 minutes) to hand. These bigger places have plenty of entertainment in the form of watersports, amusement parks or shopping… and for steam train trips, there's Lappa Valley (30 minutes). Cornwall’s well-known for its coast, of course, but there are also some gorgeous gardens that make for a great afternoon out in this southern part of England. There are the rainforest biomes of the huge Eden Project (50 minutes), which has a daring zipwire and giant swing too – or Trebah Garden (45 minutes) for a taste of the sub-tropical beside the coast.
