Carnon Downs Caravan and Camping Park

Carnon Downs is well placed to reach the best of Cornwall, including National Trust properties, north and south coastline, and world-famed attractions such as the Eden Project 40 minutes' drive away. The nearest sands from the site are at Loe beach, three miles away along the Carrick Roads waterway. Fishing, sailing and swimming are popular picks here and the calm waters are safe for paddling too. Close by, have more first-rate fishing as well as scenic walks at the River Fal, and ferry trips across the river to the spectacular Roseland peninsula. You can walk or cycle straight from the site on the Mineral Tramways Coast to Coast trail, which runs from Portreath on the north coast to Devoran (and Old Quay Inn) on the south. There are plenty of inns and cafés along the route, as well as a much-recommended bakery at for pastries at Portreath. Going back north along the trail, pedal up to Bissoe Valley Nature Reserve three miles away, or further along to the halfway point at Scorrier within seven. You can also walk to Devoran and along Restronguet and Penpol Creek in 30 minutes from the park. The famed surfing centre of Newquay is 35 minutes' drive away.
