  • Peaceful pop-up meadow camping on the gorgeous North Cornwall coast
  • A 25-minute walk to Trevaunance Cove, and 15 to St Agnes village pubs
  • Hot showers on site; access to walks; surfing beach 10 minutes’ drive
A smashing base for walkers, cyclists and surfers alike, the Owl Box Eco Camp is hidden away in a peaceful location with spectacular views over Cornwall’s moorland. Sheltered by a border of trees, the camping field is a short hop from beaches, hiking routes and biking paths. You can access the South West Coast Path in St Agnes village (five minutes’ walk) or be catching waves at Perranporth with a drive of 10 minutes – and the famous surfing beaches at Newquay (30 minutes) are close by. If you’re exploring this quiet corner of Cornwall on two wheels, there’s a choice of routes, and you can hire bikes in St Agnes too. There’s a chilled, no-frills vibe back at the camping field, with handy and very welcome electric showers so you can refresh after the day’s exertions, as well as flushing loos and a washing-up area. Come evening, wander into St Agnes to sample local beers, ciders and pasties in the pubs, or pick up bits for picnics at the handy convenience store. For further supplies or a meal in a cosy restaurant, the bus route that serves Perranporth (10 minutes), Newquay (25 minutes) and Truro (20 minutes) runs from just outside the campsite.

What customers say

A peaceful, no-frills park with easy booking & spacious pitches. Toilets/showers praised for cleanliness & hot water. Handy for St Agnes & beach. Note: minimal changing space, no recycling, and one mention of student noise.

Liked I really enjoyed this camping site ⛺️ The trees were incredibly beautiful and the nature felt very peaceful.

The water was SO cold 😂 but it actually tasted better than London water 😎

One of my favourite parts was waking up to the amazing sound of birds singing in the morning. I even overheard the horses “singing” too 😂 Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience and I would definitely come back.

Disliked It was a bit noisy sometimes because of motorcycle traffic nearby, but honestly it was still alright.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked The site was overall really peaceful and it was great to hear birdsong and be dark enough at night to see the stars. The owner was very helpful, friendly and welcoming which really made us enjoy our stay after a long journey. The facilities were very good for a pop up campsite. St Agnes and the surrounding areas are beautiful.

Liked Quiet location, no dogs, near to St Agnes

Disliked Not the site’s fault but there is no path on the road to St Agnes, and the road was quite busy when we were there

From the manager: Hi ! thanks for your review! there is a quieter route into St Agnes through Water Lane, which only adds 3 or 4 mins to the walk and its beautiful.Sorry we didn't get to share this info with you during your stay xxx. Do come again :)

Liked I've stayed at this campsite a couple of times and it is one of my favourite's in Cornwall. Super easy to book and rock up, toilets and showers are always clean. It's never too busy. It's also a 5 minutes walk to the pubs and you can also walk to the beautiful beach. I live in Cornwall but keep coming back to this campsite, it's great value for money!!

Local attractions

From the campsite, you can stroll clifftops down to secluded Trevaunance Cove (25 minutes’ walk), overlooked by the Old Blue Hills Tin Mine (15 minutes), or check out to the St Agnes Museum at ruined Wheal Kitty mine (five minutes). For cyclists, multi-use St Piran Trail (10 minutes’ drive) joins up to the Engine House Trail and the Mineral Tramways Cycle Network, taking you past more of Cornwall’s abandoned tin mines and museums, so you can mix up local history with a decent workout. You have loads of beaches to take the kids; they can body surf at Perranporth (10 minutes), go rockpooling at Porth Joke Beach (25 minutes), or visit Godrevy Point (half an hour) to see grey seals snoozing on the sand. Cornwall’s major-player attractions are all within driving distance too: spend time wandering the wild landscapes of The Lost Gardens of Heligan (45 minutes), or plan a day out in jungle-themed biospheres at the Eden Project (50 minutes). Have a nose around the Tate St Ives (half an hour), or head south for wild Atlantic rollers at Land’s End Landmark Attraction (55 minutes).
