St Austell sits roughly in the middle of Cornwall’s south coast, making it a genuinely central base for exploring the county rather than committing to one specific resort town.
A central base for exploring
The Eden Project, the fishing village of Mevagissey, and the wider St Austell Bay coastline are all within easy reach — a good choice if you want to see more than one part of Cornwall during your stay.
St Austell Bay’s coastline
The bay itself has a mix of sandy coves and small harbours, generally quieter than the bigger-name resorts further west — worth considering if you’d rather avoid the busiest Cornish crowds.
Choosing a park
Given the central location, confirm your park’s actual distance from the coast versus how much time you plan to spend travelling to other Cornish attractions.
