  • 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

Great value, peaceful spot. Toilets/showers praised for cleanliness & hot water, though cubicles are small. Spacious, level pitches. Easy booking. Short walk to village/coast. Some noise noted, more showers desired. High return rate.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Easy access, simple set-up. Perfect for a one-night stopover. Nice walk to coast and back.

Disliked A bit close to the road. I was worried about traffic noise when I pulled up, but to be fair it calmed down and I slept fine.

Liked Juste parfait !
Emplacement génial pour se balader, juste à côté d’un sentier pour rejoindre la côte.
Nous avons bien profité avec mon chien de l’espace.
Les toilettes, la douche, les éviers étaient propres et fonctionnels.
Merci pour l’accueil, les conseils et votre convivialité ! Je recommande à 200% ce campement en Cornouaille, en plus du prix qui est bien, je serais bien restée plus longtemps…

Liked Excellent location, easy to find and close to town. Nice and quiet but I can imagine it gets livelier when busy, which is fine! Nice little picnic benches with solar lights scattered about. Good clean toilet/shower facilities also.

Liked Site was clean well maintained and quiet. 5 clean toilets including a designated women and children toilet and one clean shower
Perfect walking distance from St Agnes Bars and shops, and short drive into Perranporth and other main towns.
Perfect for a weekend get away.

Disliked The facilities were spotless but could possibly do with another shower as there was only 1
And just nitpicking here but No hooks in back of toilet doors for coats/robes

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).
