The Carnon Downs Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is set within 20 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds, providing spacious pitches among flowering shrubs and hedges. The charming campsite will tick a number of boxes, from offering a pleasant space in which to unwind to a well-located base from which to explore. No matter what you decide to do during your stay, you can expect the opportunity for countryside walks, beach visits and trips into the cathedral city of Truro. The site itself is great for families visiting Cornwall. With bike hire and play area, there’s plenty to keep the kids entertained. And during your stay you’ll also be able to visit Carnon Downs, a quaint village with a mini market, garden centre and fruit farm.

- MRMargriet Rutten2 days ago4.0Prima camping. Sanitair met privebadkamers. Alleen de douches kwamen blank te staan en de toiletten konden niet goed worden doorgespoeld.
- PCPaul Christian5 days ago5.0Touring caravan site. Large fully serviced pitches, well maintained. Excellent shower facilities
- NHNatasha HawkinsMay 31, 20265.0We have been coming here for many years and have never been disappointed even when it rains. This year was different we broke down 75 miles from Carnon and called the manager Will who gave us a number of Mark who immediately came out to us and towed our caravan to Carnon while the RAC sorted our vehicle. Wills knowledge and connections saved our holiday at this beautiful site which we feel is by far the best in Cornwall. Thank you again
- SBS BMay 27, 20263.0One of our favourite tidiest sites, but this year we’ve had problems with people’s dogs left to roam freely off there leads around our pitch and around the park in general , which makes it hard work when you have a re reactive dog due to him being attacked for these reasons previously, so will probably will not return next year, as we can’t even relax in our chairs outside our caravan.
- BBBrenda BrookesApr 29, 20264.0A lovely site with very large pitches and plenty of space. The grounds are very well maintained. It is in a good location with easy access to all of Cornwall. In our view the facilities on site have deteriorated since being taken over by the Caravan Club. We were in the yellow field. The showers and toilets block are in need of refurbishment or at the very least, a deep clean. The showers were quite grubby. The radiators were rusty. Some of the toilets did not flush well. The velux windows were permanently slightly ajar ((presumably for ventilation) but this resulted in lots of leaves in the showers and sinks. This was always our go-to site for early or late season, but we were disappointed this year, and have never seen it so quiet. The facilities are really convenient, and were well heated but are not up to the usual Caravan Club standards.
