  • Friendly Cornwall campsite in a flat 10-acre field with sea views
  • A 10-minute walk to St Agnes, Trevaunance Cove and Trevellas Cove
  • Direct access to local footpaths and acres of space for games
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 10-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 modern toilets and showers for guests, all of which are well-maintained and a short walk away from the pitches. Whenever you need to restock on the essentials (local produce like milk, eggs, bread, bacon and a few items that are easy to forget), head to the small shop that sits at reception. The shop also sells and hires out firepits, plus firewood, kindling and firelighters. 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.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly owner.
Wide open spaces for pitching with great views.
10 minutes walk to the village, with plenty of eating options and small shops.
10 minutes walk to the nearby cove.
Toilets whilst a little rustic, but were kept clean and well stocked.
Showers had plenty of space in both the wet area and dry area.
Quiet area for adults only. Separated from large family field.
Small shop at reception selling basic items.

Disliked Nothing really to dislike, compared to Club sites this site was a little more basic.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked huge space, not all shovelled in. No military style allocation of space - you just chose your own. Lovely loos and showers and a thoughtful shop. The best comms i’ve ever had before getting to a campsite! A ten min walk to St Agnes, peaceful and chilled and just glorious

Disliked nothing

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a lovely stay at Sunny Corner Campsite.

The facilities were great — the toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and well maintained throughout our stay. There’s also a lovely little on-site shop, which was really handy for picking up essentials without having to head out.
Kate was super friendly & welcoming. You can see her every morning on her bike doing her rounds. 😊


Overall, a brilliant clean campsite with a friendly atmosphere & excellent facilities for a comfortable stay.
We’d definitely recommend Sunny Corner Campsite and would happily stay again!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A great site with walks down into St Agnes and the coast. Facilities were clean.

Disliked As other reviewers have said it could do with a few more showers and doesn’t have a chemical waste disposal which was odd, especially as the site is not a cheap stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we do have a chemical disposal in the quiet zone car park. We are in the process of building an additional shower block should be up and running soon.

Non-electric grass and gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Being able to pick your own pitch, chose a quite corner away from the crowds due to having the dogs with us.
Nice walks for the dogs close by and easy reach for visiting various beaches and towns.
Nice clean showers and toilets was concerned at first with how many people were onsite on if you they not be cleaned and if you would have to wait about, but no issues and must have been cleaned regular unless very courteous campers helped.
Shop looked nicely stocked although I didn’t use it.
Nice clean site and weather was on our side would visit again.

Disliked Nothing really would probably say install a few more toilets on the quite field thats about it really if you want to be critical.

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.
