Whether you’re confident catching waves or trying surfing for the first time, we’ve got you covered. Surf independently with the group in the Standard Adventure, or join the Full Surf Camp with 3 guided lessons over the long weekend. Either way, you’ll spend your mornings in the water, afternoons exploring beaches and coastal trails (or surfing more if you’re up for it!), and evenings around campfires and socials with like-minded people.

Most people book this package — you’ll be learning alongside others at the same stage in small, supportive groups.
Standard Adventure £285
For surfers who are past the beginner stage and want a social weekend of shared surf sessions, not lessons.

Trip Itinerary
- Thursday: Welcome
- Arrive at 4pm at the campsite, get settled at the campsite, and pitch your tent up together with the group.

- After the game, we’ll walk back along the coastal path as the sunsets, before heading to our tents for our first night under the stars.
- Friday: Surf & Family Dinner
- Start the day with breakfast together in the outdoor seating area of the campsite, followed by 2 hours of surfing — whether you’re a beginner taking your first surf lesson with our local surf instructors, hiring or bringing your own board, this session is all about getting in the water and gaining confidence with new mates.
- In the afternoon, we’ll head to a stunning beach nearby for some beach games.
- Back at camp for our family dinner (included) with live music, followed by card games and a low-key silent disco (optional).
- Saturday: Surf & Campfire
- Our second 2 hour surf session in the morning after breakfast — either progressing with a lesson or catching waves on your own with your new surf pals.
- The afternoon is flexible, with it being open to the group whether we want to head to another beach for a coastal walk, or head in for another surf (perfect for those on lessons wanting to practice what they’ve learnt in their lesson this morning — £15 extra for hire of board and wetsuit).
- In the evening, enjoy a wholesome campfire night with music, marshmallows, and games. A laid-back, social evening to round off an action-packed day.

- One last surf session in the morning on Perranporth beach.
- Explore the huge Sand Dunes at Holywell beach and a game of rounders all together.

Why We Partner With Stoked Surf School
We’ve partnered with Stoked Surf School for the past three years because of their experienced instructors, supportive teaching style, and unbeatable beachside setup. Lessons combine clear theory, plenty of time in the water, and individual feedback during the lesson — with modern changing facilities and hot showers right by the beach.
Whether you’re learning to surf, improving, or just need to hire a board/wetsuit, you’re covered.
Food & Drink
We keep things laid-back and flexible when it comes to food — so you can do as much (or as little) as you like!
- Breakfast (Included) — Start every morning at camp in the canopy area, choose from breakfast baps, dirty hash-browns, sourdough toast or waffles, (vegetarian & meat options available)
- Family Dinner Night (Included) — Enjoy an evening meal all together in the barn, with live music.
- Fish & Chips — As soon as we’ve settled in and pitched our tents up, we’ll head down to the beach for fish & chips before a game of volleyball — the perfect way to kick off the trip!
- Other Meals — the rest is up to you! Here’s how most people do it:
- Post-surf, we’ll usually grab a Cornish pasty in town.
- There’s a Co-op (20 min walk from campsite) if you’d want to grab something easy.
- You’ll need to sort your own food for 2/4 nights, but there’s plenty of options:
- Takeaway pizza from town
- Campsite microwaves for quick ready meals
- Go full-on camping mode and cook with me!
- If you don’t fancy cooking, the barn on-site does themed feats every night and the food is soo good. Perfect if you want a chilled evening meal without the effort and with live music!
Basically you can keep it simple or go all out, your call!

Group Size
Our trips are capped at 20 people, with most people coming along solo. 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. 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!
How to Get There & Car Shares
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.
- 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.
Feel free to WhatsApp us if you need help with any travel plans!
