Top 10 reasons to buy a static caravan in Cornwall
Cornwall and caravans just go together, and not only because they both start with a “C”. Known for its beautiful beaches, picturesque scenery and slower pace of life, it’s no surprise that Cornwall remains one of the UK’s most popular staycation destinations.
Perfect for static caravan owners who want to be able to feel the sand between their toes whenever they fancy it! Read on to find out more about what life is like as a static caravan owner in Cornwall, so you can decide if the Kernow lifestyle is right for you.Â
Key Takeaways:
- Why invest in Cornwall? Away Resorts provides access to a range of scenic countryside retreats, coastal getaways, and family-oriented parks including Retallack, St Ives Bay, Bude, Newquay Bay, and Newperran — appealing to a variety of lifestyles and preferences.
- Flexible ownership choices: Buyers can select from both new and pre-owned caravans and lodges, with options for part-exchange and support for subletting to help reduce ownership costs.

Why buy a static caravan in Cornwall?
Is this even a question? Cornwall is the UK’s answer to the Caribbean, with sandy beaches and crystal blue waters (although maybe a few more sheep).Â
Owner testimonial
Newperran is such a relaxing, friendly site with wonderful amenities and always approachable, helpful staff. The swimming pool is amazing, and our grandchildren are making full use of it regularly.

With pasty shops on every corner - and the odd vicious seagull - it’s hard to run out of things to do, see and enjoy. Buying a static caravan in Cornwall can give you:Â
1. Stunning coastal views
Cornwall’s coastline is as magical as it’s always been. Think golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and sparkling seas, all just a pebble’s throw from your caravan door. Whether you’re looking to catch some choice waves (right on, dude) at Newquay or want to relax and crisp up in the sun in St Ives, you’ll always be spoiled with postcard-perfect views.Â
Fancy a pasty with your sea view? You’re in the right place. From strolling along coastal paths to soaking in your surroundings with a cuppa, Cornwall has relaxation in sand-bucketloads.Â
2. Access to award-winning beaches
Owning a static caravan in Cornwall means the beach is always calling – and you’ve got the pick of the bunch! From the buzzing surf scenes to peaceful hidden coves, there’s a stretch of sand for every mood. Fancy something in between? Head to Padstow, where golden beaches meet foodie heaven – perfect for a post-surf fish and chips. With a comfy caravan in Cornwall and plenty of stunning Cornish beaches to choose from, life really is a beach.Â
3. Explore Cornwall’s best attractions all year-round
Cornwall offers a great mix of the hottest attractions and lesser-known hidden gems. Skip long flights for a tropical feel at the Eden Project, or visit the most westerly point of mainland England at Land’s End. While big sights impress, quieter spots like hidden coves, fishing villages, quirky museums, and coastal walks are the best hidden treasures. And don’t forget to keep an eye out for seasonal events, like the St Ives Food Festival.
If big crowds aren’t your thing, you can slink off to quieter spots: why not brush up on your history at Launceston Castle, sample some local cider at a nearby cider farm or enjoy a peaceful pub lunch at the Slope Inn? Based at our Bude park, you’d be just steps from sandy beaches (Bostcastle is an Away Resorts favourite), indie shops, and canal strolls. With so much to explore at your own pace, Cornwall offers a year-round escape full of charm and adventure- all without leaving the UK.
4. Affordable holidays, whenever you choose
Owning your own static caravan means beachside bliss, just a hop, skip, and a happy dance away. No more eye-watering holiday prices or last-minute booking battles; just pack a bag and go! You’ve got a cosy home in one of the UK’s most sought-after destinations, without having to book up months in advance or hunt for deals more elusive than catching that legendary Fistral Beach wave that surfers dream about.
Those pesky hotel costs? Consider them history! Owning your own caravan will mean you can escape whenever you choose. Your snug little slice of paradise will always be waiting for you, just as you left it… minus the mysterious sock that always seems to disappear, but that’s another story!
5. Dog-friendly locations
Holidays are extra special with your four-legged friend by your side, and that’s why our caravan parks are truly dog-friendly, not just dog-allowing. Unlike many parks where pets are restricted to the van or a small corner of the site, we welcome your pup just about everywhere.
From in and around your caravan to our on-site amenities, your dog is always welcome as part of the adventure. And with Cornwall’s wealth of dog-friendly beaches and scenic walking trails, there’s plenty for tails to wag about.Â
6. Exclusive parks with stand-out facilities
Enjoy heated indoor pools (included in your pitch fees), on-site dining, and free entertainment for all ages. As Away Resorts caravan owners, you’ll also have discounted access to FlowRider, Cornwall’s only surf simulator. Not excited by the idea of being tossed around in the barrel of a wave? Don’t worry: at Retallack, you can unwind in the spa, hit the gym, and enjoy exclusive owner swim times.Â

7. A thriving holiday home community
Owning a static caravan at an Away Resorts park isn’t just about the location: it’s about the lifestyle. You’ll quickly become part of a friendly, like-minded community where neighbours become friends (everybody needs good neighbours) and there’s always something going on.
From exclusive owner-only events and BBQs to seasonal activities, there are plenty of chances to connect and make memories. Many owners share common interests: whether you enjoy beach walks, surfing, or just relaxing with a Rattler at the bar, it’s easy to feel at home.
8. A true culinary destinationÂ
When you picture Cornwall, you should be salivating over fresh-caught seafood (hello, Rick Stein), melt-in-your-mouth Cornish pasties, and cream teas. Just remember: it’s jam first, cream second in Cornwall.
Fancy cooking? Pop to a local food market and stock up on goodies like Cornish cheese, fresh bread, and veggies so good they cook themselves. With a holiday home of your own, you can nibble your way around Cornwall whenever the mood (and appetite) strikes, whether you’re dining out or setting off the fire alarms in your kitchen.
9. Watersports galore!Â
In Cornwall, you can try your hand at surfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding at just about every beach. Owning a static caravan means you can dive straight into the action without the faff of booking accommodation every time. You can step out of your caravan and chase big swells or glide through peaceful coves- whatever your style, the waves are calling. With your cosy base nearby, you’ll always be minutes away from a hot shower and a cuppa, making a bracing swim in Cornish waters less daunting.
10. A range of caravans and lodges to suit your budget
Dreaming of your own little Cornish getaway? Well, pinch yourself, it’s not just fantasy, folks! Owning a holiday home in this coastal paradise is more doable than finding matching socks in your laundry (and we all know that’s a rare victory!). There’s something for every budget: from comfortable, entry-level static caravans that are perfect for first-time buyers, to stylish, high-spec lodges packed with luxury touches.
Whether you’re after a wallet-friendly weekend nest that won’t sink your savings, or you’re ready to splash out on a spacious sea-view retreat complete with a hot tub (for when you want to be in hot water in a good way!), the Cornish coast has your name written all over it - in the sand, naturally.

How much are static caravans for sale in Cornwall?
Let’s talk money, beach lovers. The price of static caravans can vary depending on their location, size and those tempting extras (because nothing says “I’m living my best life” like bubbling away with a Cornish cider in your own hot tub!).
Don’t get us wrong- luxurious caravans can be a considerable cost, but even if you’re on a budget, a seaside escape isn’t off the cards. Pre-owned static caravans for sale are a great way to secure the getaway spot of our dreams at a fraction of the price. It’s all about finding what “waves” you hello! -
If you’re looking for a decked-out lodge shuffle-distance from the beach you can expect to pay more, but if a comfy, cosy base to explore Cornwall’s treasures is more your style (perfect from those “back from a day of adventures” evenings), there are still plenty of options for you to choose from.
Remember, in Cornwall, there’s a holiday home “shore” to fit your budget - whether you’re looking to splash out or keep your feet dry.Â
