This trip is all about surfing, adventure, and ending the weekend on a high at Tunes in the Dunes! Think beach days, catching waves, and good vibes with a fun group, all leading up to a cool festival on the beach on Sunday.

During the day, we’ll be surfing, hiking, and exploring Cornwall’s best beaches, then Sunday afternoon we’re swapping wetsuits for Hawaiian shirts and heading straight to Tunes in the Dunes — a beachside festival with live music and the ultimate summer atmosphere.

Expect a weekend full of surf, beach games, BBQs, and campfire hangs, then one big final night dancing under the stars to top it all off. Whether you’re here for the waves, the festival, or both, this trip is for anyone who loves a laid-back, adventure-filled weekend with a solid group of people.

We’ll be staying at Anchor Barrow Campsite, a super chilled, family-run site with modern facilities to make camping easy. They even host weddings in winter!

• Hot Showers & Proper Toilets — No dodgy campsite loos here!
• Phone Charging — There are plug sockets and charging lockers if you need them.
• Barn with Food & Bar — The on-site barn has amazing themed feasts, and there’s a bar serving local drinks if you fancy it. There’s even indoor table-tennis!
• Loads of space — There’s a football pitch, picnic areas, and plenty of room to chill around our camp.

Camp Vibe:
This is a laid-back, social weekend, but the campsite is family-friendly, so it’s not a party camping trip. Expect chilled beers around the campfire in the evenings, good chats, and an easygoing atmosphere, we’re saving the big night for the festival on Sunday!

It’s a chilled atmosphere festival, with beach vibes and live music, a fun family-friendly vibe. To keep it fun, we’re going all out with our Hawaiian shirts, so bring your best tropical outfit!

Our trips are capped at 20 people, which we’ve found is the perfect number! Over the last couple of summers, we’ve hosted surf trips with a range of group sizes, and 20 strikes the best balance — big enough to meet loads of new people but still small enough to keep things personal, inclusive, and wholesome.

With 20 people, there’s a solid mix of solo travellers and friends, and you’ll quickly find your new mates — whether it;s in the surf, over a beach game, or around the campfire. It also means we keep things flexible while making sure everyone gets the most out of the trip.

If you love outdoor adventures, surfing and meeting like-minded people, you’ll fit right in!

Most people drive to the campsite and pick up others on the way. We’ll sort out car shares in the WhatsApp chat before the trip, so you’ll always have someone to travel with!

Arrival time is 4pm Thursday, so plan to get there around then.

• Driving — If you’re driving, just head straight to Anchor Barrow Campsite (Postcode: TR6 0ED), and you’ll be able to find parking at our camping area.
• Taking the Train — If you’re coming by train, the closest station is Newquay, which is about 40 minutes away. You can car share from there (we’ll sort this in the groupchat) or take the bus to the campsite.

Let me know if you need help with any travel plans!

Q: What’s different about the Festival Edition trip?
This trip has the same adventure-packed itinerary, but instead of heading down south to Pedn Vounder after surfing on Sunday, We’ll be getting ready for Tunes in the Dunes — a beachside festival with live music. It’s the perfect way to wrap up an insane weekend of surfing and exploring.

Q: What’s the vibe, are we partying all weekend?
The weekend is laid-back and social, with chilled beers around the campfire in the evenings, but it’s not a party trip. We’re keeping it relaxed until Sunday afternoon, when we go all in at the festival!

Q: Do I need to buy my own festival ticket?
Nope! Your Sunday Festival ticket is already included in the trip price. Tickets tend to sell out quickly, so I’ve already secured 20 tickets for the group — no stress about booking your own!

Q: How do we get to the festival?
We’ll walk to the festival as it’s in Perranporth, about 25 minute walk away along h the coast. We’ll sort out car shares or taxis on the day for the way home. Some people might stay until the very end, while others might head back earlier. We’ll help coordinate lifts back to the camp and make sure no one goes back alone.

Q: Can I skip the festival and just do the surf trip?
This trip is all about surfing, adventure, and ending the weekend at the festival, so your Tunes in the Dunes ticket is included in the price. If you’re not feeling the festival vibe, you’re still welcome to join, but most of the group will be heading there on Sunday night.

Prefer a more laid-back, adventure-packed weekend instead? Join us on one of our classic surf trips the following week! These trips follow the same insane itinerary, but instead of the festival, we head down south to explore Cornwall’s most stunning beaches — Pedn Vounder, Kynance Cove and secret coastal gems. It’s the perfect option if you’d rather keep things chill and focus on surfing, hiking, and beach games!

Q: What time do we need to arrive?
Arrive by 4pm on Thursday to get settled in. We’ll kick things off with a coastal walk to the beach and grab fish and chips together! Don’t worry if you’re running late, just update Liv on your ETA and you can find out where to meet us (we’ll be heading to the beach straight after setting up our tents).

Q: Do I need to bring my own surfboard?
Nope! You can bring your own gear, or you can book either your hire or surf lessons through our website when you book on.

Q: Can I come solo?
Absolutely! Most people come on their own, it’s a great way to meet other like-minded people, that’s exactly the reason I started these camps — as a way to meet other adventurous people! Not all of your friends will be into surfing or outdoorsy adventurous activities, so find friends that are 🙂

Q: Can I bring my own tent?
Yes! You can bring your own tent or find a buddy in the WhatsApp chat before the trip to share. Most people share, it’s a great way to meet others and help out on the tent set up.

Q: What should I bring for the festival?
Pack whatever you’d normally bring for camping and the beach, and just bring a Hawaiian shirt for the festival! We’ll head back to the campsite after surfing to get ready. I’d recommend bringing warm layers (for under your shirt), a small bag or bumbag, ID and cash/card for food and drinks at the festival.

Q: Is food included?
Breakfast is included everyday (with breakfast baps made by the campsite), and we’ve got a BBQ night too. You’ll need to sort your own meals for a couple of nights, but there are plenty of options like pasties, takeaway pizza, or cooking with the group.

Q: What if I’ve never surfed before?
No worries! We’ve got surf lessons for beginners, and you’ll be surfing with the group, so there’s no pressure — just lots of fun! Most people haven’t ever surfed before either.

Q: What if I need to leave early?
Things come up, don’t worry! You’re free to leave whenever you need, just let me know so we can help with car shares or coordinating transport.

Q: Can I bring my dog?
Yes, dogs are allowed on the campsite! Some people have brought their dogs before, but there’s a few important things to know:
– Dogs must be friendly and kept on leads at all times.
– You’ll need to be okay with leaving your dog locked in your vehicle for the 2.5hour surf sessions.

Q: The itinerary looks so fun, but will I be able to take downtime and skip some activities?
It’s definitely an action-packed weekend, but if you need some downtime, no worries! You can easily skip an activity and take it easy whenever you need. Whether it’s a quiet moment at camp or a chilled walk along the coast, you can always choose to relax.

Q: What happens on Monday morning?
After a big festival day, Monday is a slow, chilled morning. You can sleep in, have a relaxed breakfast, and pack up at your own pace before check-out at 11am.
