A Real Treat

This might be our favourite site ever ! The long trip to Truro and remembrances of typical Cornish lanes made the thought of towing to the site a bit daunting, but all the way right to the entrance to the site is a really easy drive with good roads all the way. This site is set out beautifully, wonderfully landscaped and immaculately kept with spotlessly clean toilets, showers, laundry rooms and baths !! Yes, a bath is available onsite ! what a treat, also a small but handy dog walk. There is so much to do from this site, so a week only saw us scratch the surface but masses of information is available at the onsite reception and we particularly enjoyed walking from the site to the dog friendly Punchbowl and Ladle for a tasty evening meal. Just a 3.6 mile, 6 minute drive to The Hall for Cornwall and Truro City Centre, we'd love to return to this site.

flowers

This site is very pretty with all the blue pink white flowers around the site. we are a family of 4 and had an enjoyable 14 night stay. The weather was not too great with rain most days but we didnt let that spoil anything. site very clean and tidy especailly the toilet and shower areas. It is a very central site to explore cornwall but you do have to drive to most places unless you are a very capable walker and have no young children with you. You can hear the main A road but only at night when everything is quiet. Will come back to this site in the future. Thank you to Simon and staff who are very friendly and helpfull.

Central Hub...

This site was recommended to us by some very valued friends, if they say it's good... It's good! And.. they were right. We had a 6 night stay during late August 2015, there was just my wife and myself in our caravan. The toilets / showers were exceptionally clean and modern, staff very friendly too.. the chip van calls on Saturday and Tuesday at about 19:30.. Proper chips I say.. Proper chips.... Carnon Downs is near to Truro and also very central for the majority of Cornwall, especially if you're National Trust visitors to the area.. The site is directly adjacent to the main A road, it starts to get a wee bit noisy from about 05:00, but so what? I am actually a very light sleeper. Thanks to Simon and his staff at the site, we WILL see you again in the future. Dave & Jill Curwen (Stoke-on-Trent)

Wedding Weekend

Travelled to Truro for a family wedding and stayed at this site over the Bank Holiday with my extended family. Great facilities, pitches are really big, toilet blocks have unique shower/toilet/basin in one room, really good and 100% clean. The owners really understand what caravan/campers need.... Picnic benches available for use, games room with ping pong and excellent outdoor play area with a football pitch. Dog walk even has a water tap and dogs bowl half way around...... Visited the Punch Bowl pub for dinner twice, dog friendly and great staff...... This is an excellent site, we will be back!

Perfect

Stayed here for two weeks in June. Our first visit to Cornwall, won't be the last. We found all site staff to be helpful and friendly. This site is ideally situated for seeing the best of Cornwall as it has a central location. The site is kept exceptionally tidy and the toilet block is the best we have ever used. Such a good idea to have individual cubicles. Can't fault it!

carnon downs

Just come back from our first time at Carnon Downs, can't fault the site for beauty, cleanliness and the staff were really friendly. My husband is disabled and unfortunately this campsite is miles from anywhere if you don't have any transport and have to rely on either the bus or a taxi. Would have been really nice if there was a shop on site, if only for the essentials as a trip to tesco cost us £20 in a taxi before we bought anything. We did use the local bus service but the walk to the truro stop was downhill and awkward with having to push the wheelchair.

3rd visit & still faultless

Spent 2 weeks here from 6 July on a pitch in Thompson Way. Toilet/shower facilities superb & the overall standard of the site is excellent. May be worth asking for a pitch away from the the A39 as there can be road noise. Bus stop outside the site for Falmouth & one in the village for Truro.

Lovely stay but car needed to access beaches

We stayed here recently for 5 nights (red15). What a brilliant site. The pitches are well kept and the most spacious I have seen so far, the facilities second to none. Even the older toilet block is immaculately clean with showers which can be temperature controlled and you can stay in it all day if you wanted. Our only grip would be that the local pubs are only a short distance, but due to Cornwalls lack of pavements it's safer to drive. The only walkable one is at the premier inn, on the other side of the very busy A30. Beaches are located nearby at Looe, Falmouth and St Maws but again you need the car to access them and be aware the roads can be very narrow... The sight doesn't have a shop or cafe/bar but a fish and chip van and Thai/curry van also visits on certain days. Big queues are to be expected, so get your order in soon. Lovely site, I wish all were this spacious. Just a shame about having to use a car a lot.

fantastic site

We have just returned from a lovely weeks stay at carnon Downs. There is nothing bad I can say the owners are friendly and very helpful,the site is clean and well maintained and the pitches are very spacious· The individual bathrooms are a great idea. There is also an excellent bus service to Falmouth and Truro. We would definitely recommend this site to everyone.

First time at Carnon Downs

We booked last minute and were lucky there was a cancellation on Blue 33 What a lovely surprise to see how vast the pitch was and that we could position our caravan any way we wanted, to get the best of the sun. Blue 33 is grass and would have been fantastic had it not been for several days of rain prior to us getting there. This left the pitch quite muddy and it just wouldn't dry out under the awning carpet so we took the awning down for the last 6 days of our stay. The facilities overall were superb apart from the block on Blue which was old and basic and the showers there were not in operation however, this wasn't a problem as the next nearest block wasn't far away. There are some places on the site that are close to the road so quite noisy though ours was far enough away not to be so that was a bonus. The bus for Falmouth and Truro stop just outside and from Truro you can get almost anywhere in Cornwall by bus. Gret location, wish we could have stayed longer.
