Just three miles south of the cathedral city of Truro with its excellent shopping centre, restaurants, museum and theatre, Carnon Downs Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite offers 20 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with spacious pitches, backed by hedges and flowering shrubs. The nearby village of Carnon Downs is charming and peaceful, with a mini market, garden centre and fruit farm. Nearby Truro offers a Cathedral and weekly Farmers Market. The campsite is also located close to Loe Beach, which offers water sports tuition and hire and Falmouth is just a short distance away with its natural harbour, maritime museum and beaches. After a hard day's fun, there are three inns within walking distance of the site to satisfy any appetite.

The Carnon Downs Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is an excellent base to explore the beauty of Cornwall. Wonderful walks can be enjoyed on and from the campsite, with the River Fal and the creek side hamlets of Penpol and Devoran just a short stroll away.

Not as good as it used to be!

Since the Caravan Club took over we have returned to this site a few times! It has always been a favourite because of the owner, staff , and amenities. Disappointing now to often find the main shower block closed for various reasons. The cafe closed as it’s quiet? We have been... Show more

Excellent base for exploring Cornwall

Stayed between Xmas and New Year. Warm welcome and good choice of flat large hardstanding pitches. Shower rooms are excellent. Facilities spotlessly clean. Bar area a nice addition for meeting others. Will definitely return in 2025.

Don’t change

This a great site, recently taken over, please don’t change it. The pitches are well spaced out and the facilities fantastic. The bar has music on and it’s delightful. It’s location is so central. The staff are super friendly . It’s expensive , that’s the only negative.

This really is a great site. Ideally located between Falmouth and Truro with a bus stop right outside with busses ever 30 mins. Great facilities and some lovely local walks.
