  • 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. 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.

What customers say

A neat campsite with ample, level spots and spotless ablutions. Close to St Agnes village and the coast path for lovely views. Handy phone charging and freezer for ice packs. Generally peaceful, though queues for facilities can occur in peak times. Owners are friendly and helpful.

Jon A.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved our stay here, we would highly recommend this site! The site itself is very well maintained and nice and flat. The pitches are large so we had plenty of space. The loos and showers were absolutely spotless, we were amazed at the fact that there was not a single bug in them! The showers were fantastic. The site is close to the beach which is within walking distance, albeit down quite a large, steep hill. Very quite at night, no traffic noise, which was such a treat!

Disliked There are lovely views out across the bay but worth noting that the price you pay for this is exposure to the wind. We had two very windy nights which we weren't sure our tents would survive but when it calmed down it was perfect.

Helen J.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location and size of pitches.

Disliked Needs more showers and a map showing how to walk to beach and village. Bit expensive.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Morning

I am sorry you felt this way, we will be building more showers over the winter, it is a difficult one when some people just take forever in the showers.

There are St Agnes maps on the reception wall and top shower block which show the map into the village and the local beaches.

You say it is expensive, I charge £30 a night, pitch up take £5 per night which leaves me £25 a night, so for a family of 4 who will all take a shower each day, charge their phones or power banks, wash their dishes in hot water and freeze their ice packs all for no additional charge I feel £25 is very reasonable.

Many thanks

Kate

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.
