New date announced for 2026 Caravan and Motorhome Club English National Surfing Championships U16 and U18s

Still planning to visit Newquay this weekend?
For travelling surfers, being steps from the sea is all part of the experience. Our headline event sponsor Caravan and Motorhome Club offers a choice of coastal Club campsites near the event – perfect for visitors when it comes to waking up just minutes from the surf. Facilities at these sites include hot showers, spacious pitches for all types of leisure vehicles, plus practical wash-down areas for sandy kit.
Visitors can stay at:
- Carnon Downs UK Club Campsite – open year-round and provides an award-winning base for caravans and motorhomes.
- Nearby, Treamble Valley UK Club Campsite offers a peaceful woodland setting, just a short drive from the surf.
- Along the rugged north coast, Trewethett Farm UK Club Campsite offers dramatic cliff-top views for those touring.
- St Agnes Beacon UK Club Campsite and Godrevy Park UK Club Campsite are ideally located for catching the championship action.
For many surfers a vehicle with roof tent, campervan or motorhome provides the ultimate surf base – giving them the freedom to follow the forecast, chase the best waves and unwind by the ocean after a day on the water.
