Best CAMC Site!

Carnon Downs Club Campsite
We stayed here for 2 weeks and were surprised at just how good this site is. We had a fully serviced pitch with awning and found it immaculately turned out with no issues. The site is beautifully manicured; we joked that if the National Trust did campsites then this is what they’d be like! The shower block we used was excellent; individual bathrooms with sink, shower and WC are unheard of for the CAMC although we see them often on our European travels. The site arranges for street food vendors to attend most evenings, the ones we sampled were excellent; live music and a quiz on a Monday were also on offer. The site is within easy reach of every place we wanted to visit; Lands End, Lizard Point, Falmouth, St Mawes, Trelissick Gardens, Padstow, St Ives and Wheal Coates to name but a few….. 35 miles was the furthest we drove to a destination. In summary, quite simply the best CAMC site we’ve stayed on in over 20 years of our membership; need we say more?!

Best Site Ever

Carnon Downs Club Campsite
Having been a Motorhome owner since 2009 I’ve used a few sites, never found one this well supplied, cleaned and maintained. It has everything for families and if you read the site synopsis, it provides everything described and then some. First Class, cannot speak highly enough or find enough superlatives to describe it. My one disappointment was some peoples failure to adhere to the marked 5 mph on site speed limit. But that is definitely not the site’s fault and you get these idiots everywhere these days.

First Motorhome trip to Cornwall

Carnon Downs Club Campsite
Great location, great site, pitches level so you just park, set up and enjoy. Facilties are kept spotless. Food and beverages are a reasonable price. Close to bus stops to utilise public transport. Cannot praise site enough, have already recommended to friends and family. Will definitely return.
