  • 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

Quiet, clean, well-priced campsite in a prime spot near St. Agnes village & coast. Reviewers love the friendly owner & spotless facilities with good water pressure. Basic but functional, though more showers & changing areas were requested. Some noise issues & a road path concern were noted.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Perfect, if you just want a quiet getaway.
The field was clean and well kept. As was the toilets and shower.

Disliked I didn’t read that car was included in the price, so paid for an extra car we didn’t have! My mistake, just be careful when booking.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The price and location for a basic 1 night stay, high up so phone signal is pretty decent. Cleanliness of facilities even if they're sparce for the field capacity of campers. Picnic benches were nice to have, shame there weren't more than 4 dotted around the field.

Disliked Because pitches aren't outlined your at the whim of other campers & what they deem to be an acceptable distance from others. 1 shower for a field full of campers & the way it's set up you have to dry & change in the cubicle, I'd recommend packing a dry robe so you can walk back to change & not hold the queue up, the shower isn't accessibility friendly due to the step up in to it, there's not even space between the door & the cubicle to put your shoes just 3 hooks for towels & clothes on the back of the door.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Lovely flat sunny site for a quick overnight stay near St Agnes. We lived the added bonus of a picnic bench next to where we pitched. Toilet and hot shower facilities on site were clean and included somewhere to wash up your pots and pans. Liked that we had a later checkout than a lot of sites especially as we arrived later in the evening. Owner was very friendly over the phone. Really reasonably priced and just what we were after. Would definitely use the site again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Regardless of dislikes I would still highly recommend this site.

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).
