Caravan Transport in Cornwall
Looking for caravan transport in Cornwall? Cornwall is the UK's most popular holiday destination and home to hundreds of caravan parks along its dramatic coastline. The peninsula's narrow roads, single-track lanes, and distance from the motorway network make caravan transport here more challenging — and more expensive — than most other counties.
Caravan Parks in Cornwall
Cornwall is the country's most popular holiday county and its parks run the length of a long, narrow peninsula — Newquay, Padstow, St Ives and the rest — most well off the main road. Being at the end of the network shapes everything about moving a caravan here.
Popular Cornwall parks include Haven Riviere Sands, Newquay Holiday Park, Trelawne Manor Holiday Park, Polmanter Touring Park, and Hendra Holiday Park — all served by our caravan transport network of verified, specialist movers.

Width (10ft vs 12ft), distance and route complexity all affect the price, and a 12ft static typically costs around 20% more than a 10ft model. The surest way to a real figure for your move is to compare quotes from multiple transporters.
Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in Cornwall
Notification along the route runs through Devon & Cornwall Police. The A30 is the spine but narrows west of Bodmin, and many parks sit down single-track lanes that simply cannot take a 12ft load — occasionally a crane is needed at the park itself. With no through traffic, transporters make a dedicated trip, which is why Cornwall sits at the top of the price range.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to Devon & Cornwall Police and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — Cornwall
- Why is caravan transport to Cornwall more expensive?
- Cornwall is at the end of the road network — there is no through traffic, so transporters must make a dedicated trip. The A30 is the main route but narrows significantly west of Bodmin. Many parks are down single-track lanes that add time and complexity. These factors all increase cost compared to more accessible counties.
- Can 12ft wide static caravans be transported in Cornwall?
- Yes, but route options are more limited than for 10ft models. Some narrow Cornish lanes cannot accommodate 12ft wide loads. Your transporter will survey the route to your specific park and confirm whether a 12ft caravan can be delivered. In rare cases, a crane may be needed at the park end.
- Is my caravan insured during transport to Cornwall?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Cornwall carry goods-in-transit insurance covering your caravan during loading, transit, and unloading. Cover levels vary between £50,000 and £250,000 depending on the transporter — ask to confirm their policy limits before booking, and get written confirmation of cover if your caravan is worth more than the standard limit.
