A drive-away awning is one of the best upgrades you can make to a VW California, T5, or T6 campervan. It transforms a compact van into a proper outdoor living setup — giving you a sheltered porch, extra sleeping space, and somewhere to cook and relax without being crammed inside the van. At Newquay Camping Shop, 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, we stock one of the largest drive-away awning ranges in Cornwall. Here's how to choose the right one for your VW.What Height Awning Do I Need for a VW California or T6?Most VW California, T5, and T6 campervans have a kador strip height of 180–210cm — which means you need a low-height drive-away awning. Mid-height awnings (210–250cm) are designed for taller vehicles like motorhomes and won't fit correctly on a standard VW campervan.All of the awnings listed below are compatible with VW T5, T6, T6.1, and California models at the low-height kador range of 180–210cm. If your van doesn't have an awning rail or kador strip fitted, you'll need to add one first — we stock the Raptor VWT5/VWT6 Awning Rail for exactly this purpose (store collection only).Drive-Away Awnings for VW California, T5 & T6Vango Tolga Air VW Drive Away Awning — Blue / GreyUses Vango's AirBeam technology for fast, tool-free pitching with a kador connection for a neat, secure fit.

Treago Farm is a well-regarded family campsite on the outskirts of Crantock, a quiet village just south of Newquay. It's a proper farm campsite — relaxed, unpretentious, and a world away from the large holiday parks. If you want a quieter base within easy reach of Newquay's beaches without the noise and scale of a big site, Treago is an excellent choice. Location The site sits on a working farm on the edge of Crantock village, about 3 miles southwest of Newquay. Crantock Beach — one of Cornwall's most beautiful and least crowded beaches — is a short walk across the dunes. The Gannel estuary runs alongside the village and is worth exploring by kayak or canoe at high tide. Newquay town centre and Fistral Beach are around 10 minutes by car. The Pitches Pitches are on grass across farm fields, with a mix of open and slightly more sheltered spots. The site is relatively exposed compared to the wooded valley sites on the south coast, so a weatherproof tent is important. Electric hook-up pitches are available. The farm setting means pitches are generous in size and the atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried. Facilities Facilities are straightforward and well-maintained — clean showers, toilets, and the essentials for a comfortable stay. Crantock village has a pub and a small shop, and Newquay's full range of shops and restaurants is a short drive away. This is a site for campers who want simplicity and space rather than resort-style amenities. What Tent Works Best at Treago The open farm setting means wind can be a factor, particularly in unsettled weather. A tent with a solid hydrostatic head rating and a stable inflatable or poled structure is the right choice. Our recommendations: Outdoor Revolution Airedale 5.0S — 6,000mm HH, inflatable beams handle gusts well, free footprint included Outdoor Revolution Airedale 7.0S — 7-person, same outstanding weatherproofing with more space Kampa Dawlish 6 Air — 150D ripstop flysheet, stable in wind, good value for families What to Pack Beach kit — Crantock Beach is stunning and rarely as busy as Newquay's town beaches A camping washing line — the open setting means good drying conditions on fine days Fabsil waterproofer — essential for any exposed Cornish site A windbreak — useful both on the pitch and on the beach Nearest Beach & Attractions Crantock Beach is the standout — a wide, sandy beach backed by dunes with far fewer visitors than the Newquay town beaches. The Gannel estuary is excellent for paddling and wildlife spotting. Newquay's surf beaches, zoo, and town centre are all within easy reach for days out. Verdict Treago Farm is one of the best quiet family campsites within easy reach of Newquay. The combination of a relaxed farm setting, generous pitches, and walking distance access to Crantock Beach makes it a genuinely special place to camp. If you want the Newquay area without the noise of the big holiday parks, this is where to go.

No drilling, no permanent fittings — just strap it on and pitch.Key specs: Fabric: 75D polyester Frame: Fibreglass poles Connection height: 160–190 cm Connection width: 210 cm Awning dimensions: 290 cm (L) x 270 cm (W) x 210 cm (H) Weight: 13.13 kg | Pack size: 67 x 23 x 21 cm Pitching time: approx. 13 minutes Includes: Pole set, peg pack, carry bag, manual Optional: Fleece carpet, footprint groundsheet Features: External webbing straps connect to car wheels or doors — no kador rail needed Internal clips secure to the vehicle's rear for a stable connection Integrated draught skirt and surrounding baffle reduce airflow beneath the vehicle Three doorways for flexible access Large crystal-clear PVC windows — convertible into canopies with optional poles Toggle-up curtains and foldable windows for adjustable privacy Lantern hanging point Velcro tabs for cable management and accessory attachment Thick guylines with multiple pegging points Drive-away friendly — vehicle can be moved without dismantling the awning What Makes the Tailnest Different?The Tailnest is designed specifically for cars and SUVs with a rear height of 160–190 cm — lower than the 180–210 cm range of most campervan awnings. The attachment system is also unique: external webbing straps loop around the car's wheels or doors, and internal clips grip the vehicle's rear, giving a secure connection without any permanent hardware.The drive-away feature is particularly useful for day trips — you can leave the Tailnest pitched on your campsite, drive to the beach or a local attraction, and return to a ready-pitched awning. The integrated draught skirt and baffle also make it more weatherproof than a basic tarp or canopy, keeping wind and rain out from underneath.The three-doorway design gives you flexible access from multiple sides — useful on Cornwall's campsites where pitch orientation varies and you want to be able to get in and out without disturbing the whole setup.Tailnest vs Vango Arden — Which is Right for You?

See our best camping tables guide for portable table options, and our Outwell Casilda chair guide for comfortable seating. For cooking, our Cadac FFD stove guide covers compact, safe options. For keeping drinks hot on a beach day, our Stanley drinkware guide is worth a read.Frequently Asked QuestionsDoes the Kampa Tailnest need a kador rail?No — the Tailnest attaches via external webbing straps that loop around your car's wheels or doors, and internal clips that grip the vehicle's rear. No kador rail, no awning rail, and no permanent modifications are needed.What vehicles does the Kampa Tailnest fit?The Tailnest is designed for cars and SUVs with a rear height of 160–190 cm — covering most family estates, crossovers, and 4x4s. If your vehicle has a rear height of 180–210 cm (typical for campervans), the Vango Arden may be a better fit.Can I drive away and leave the Tailnest pitched?Yes — the Tailnest is drive-away friendly. You can disconnect the awning from your vehicle, leave it pitched on your campsite, and return to a ready-pitched awning. Ideal for day trips from a Cornwall campsite.Is the Kampa Tailnest waterproof?Yes — the 75D polyester flysheet is waterproof and wind-resistant. The integrated draught skirt and surrounding baffle also reduce airflow beneath the vehicle, making it more weatherproof than a basic canopy.Can the windows be used as canopies?Yes — the large crystal-clear PVC windows can be converted into canopies using optional poles, giving you an open-sided shelter on warmer days.Is the Kampa Tailnest suitable for Cornwall's campsites?Yes — the Tailnest is well-suited to Cornwall's variable coastal conditions. The waterproof 75D fabric, draught skirt, and multiple pegging points handle wind and rain well. The drive-away feature is particularly useful on Cornwall's campsites, where you'll often want to explore the coast by car during the day. Designed for touring use rather than long-term static pitching.Where can I buy the Kampa Tailnest in Cornwall?The Kampa Tailnest SUV Awning 2026 is available online with free UK delivery and in store at Newquay Camping Shop — Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, serving campers across Cornwall and the South West.

Most drive-away awnings attach to the side of your campervan via a kador rail. The Vango Arden Tailgate Awning does things differently — it's designed to attach to the rear or side of your vehicle without needing a kador rail at all, using over-vehicle straps, roof bar attachment tabs, or a pole-and-clamp kit. At 7.9 kg and pitching in just 5 minutes, it's one of the quickest and most versatile awnings we stock at Newquay Camping Shop, Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ.Whether you're parked up at a Cornish beach car park, a wild camping spot on Bodmin Moor, or a campsite on the South West coast, the Arden gives you instant shelter without the faff of a full awning setup. Browse our full drive-away awning guide if you want to compare the Arden against side-entry awnings. Vango Arden Tailgate Awning — £229.00 £255.00 The Arden is built around Vango's Sentinel Active 75D fabric — lightweight, compact, and waterproof with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head, fully wind and rain tested to European standard EN5912. Vango PowerFlex® fibreglass poles keep it light and reliable, and the whole thing packs into an oversized carry bag at just 55 x 22 x 24 cm.Key specs: Fabric: Sentinel Active 75D, 3,000mm HH, EN5912 tested Frame: Vango PowerFlex® fibreglass poles Kador height: 180–210 cm (Low) Weight: 7.9 kg Pack size: 55 x 22 x 24 cm Pitching time: approx. 5 minutes Features: Multiple vehicle attachment methods — pre-attached 6mm kador, 8M over-vehicle straps, roof bar attachment tabs, sleeve for pole-and-clamp kit Multifunctional — pitches on the side or rear of a campervan or SUV Diamond-clear windows for light and visibility Mesh front door with internal mesh fly screen for bug-free ventilation Toggled privacy curtains (roll away when not in use) Linked-in groundsheet (attachable or detachable) SkyTrack® II hanging system for lighting or storage Clear visibility guylines (bright coloured) Steel pegs included — ideal for grass pitches Oversized carry bag What Makes the Arden Different?The key difference between the Arden and a conventional drive-away awning is the attachment system. Most drive-away awnings require a kador rail or awning rail fitted to your vehicle — the Arden doesn't. The 8M over-vehicle straps and roof bar attachment tabs mean it works on virtually any campervan, SUV, or van conversion, even without a permanent awning rail fitted.The multifunctional pitch option is also worth noting — you can attach the Arden to the side of your vehicle (like a conventional awning) or to the rear (tailgate style), giving you flexibility depending on your pitch orientation and what you need shelter from. On Cornwall's coastal pitches, where the wind direction can change quickly, that flexibility is genuinely useful.At 5 minutes to pitch and 7.9 kg, it's also one of the most packable awnings in the range — small enough to live in a van locker without taking up significant space.Who is the Vango Arden For? Van converters and SUV owners without a kador rail who want a quick, versatile shelter Wild campers and beach stoppers who want instant shelter without a full awning setup Tourers who move pitches frequently and want the fastest possible pitch time VW California owners who want a rear tailgate awning option alongside or instead of a side awning If you want a larger, more permanent living space alongside your van, take a look at our Kampa Traverse or Kampa Roam guides. If you want the Vango equivalent, see our Vango sun canopy guide for the Vango Sunlight Air range.What to Pair with Your Vango ArdenThe Arden's compact footprint works best with lightweight, packable furniture. See our best camping tables guide for compact side table options, and our Outwell Casilda chair guide for comfortable seating that won't take up too much space. For cooking, our Cadac FFD stove guide covers compact, safe options for cooking under an awning. For sleeping comfort in your van, see our Duvalay memory foam topper guide.Frequently Asked QuestionsDoes the Vango Arden need a kador rail?No — the Arden is specifically designed to work without a kador rail. It attaches via 8M over-vehicle straps, roof bar attachment tabs, or a sleeve for a pole-and-clamp kit. It also has a pre-attached 6mm kador strip if your vehicle does have a rail. This makes it one of the most versatile awnings we stock for vehicles without a permanent awning rail fitted.Can the Vango Arden attach to the rear of my van?Yes — the Arden is multifunctional and can be pitched on the side or rear of a campervan or SUV. This tailgate configuration is ideal for beach stops, wild camping, or any situation where you want shelter over the rear of the vehicle.What vehicles is the Vango Arden compatible with?The Arden fits vehicles with a kador height of 180–210 cm — the standard low range for VW Transporter, T5, T6, and T6.1 campervans, as well as most SUVs and van conversions. The over-vehicle strap system means it works on virtually any vehicle in this height range, with or without an awning rail.How long does the Vango Arden take to pitch?Approximately 5 minutes — making it one of the fastest-pitching awnings we stock. The PowerFlex® fibreglass pole system and over-vehicle straps are designed for quick, solo setup.Is the Vango Arden waterproof?Yes — the Sentinel Active 75D fabric has a 3,000mm hydrostatic head and is fully wind and rain tested to European standard EN5912. It's a genuine all-weather awning, not just a sun shade.Is the Vango Arden suitable for Cornwall's beaches and campsites?Yes — the Arden is well-suited to Cornwall's variable coastal conditions. The 3,000mm HH fabric handles rain, the PowerFlex® poles handle wind, and the 5-minute pitch time means you can get shelter up quickly when the weather changes — as it often does on Cornwall's Atlantic-facing coast. Designed for touring use rather than long-term static pitching.Where can I buy the Vango Arden in Cornwall?The Vango Arden Tailgate Awning is available online with free UK delivery and in store at Newquay Camping Shop — Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, serving campervan owners across Cornwall and the South West.

At 580 cm wide, it's wide enough to create distinct living and sleeping zones within the awning. The versatile bedroom configuration means you can sleep up to four people inside the awning itself, making it ideal for families who want to use the van as a kitchen and the awning as a bedroom and living area.The Hi-Lo ventilation system — with vents at both high and low points — keeps the awning comfortable in warm weather, which matters on Cornwall's sunnier summer days.

Always measure your vehicle's awning rail height before purchasing.What's the difference between the poled and air Traverse?The poled versions use a fibreglass pole frame and 75D WeatherWeave polyester fabric — lighter (14.13 kg), more packable (68 x 26 x 25 cm), and lower cost. The air versions use an inflatable frame and heavier 150D polyester fabric — faster to pitch (10 vs 13 minutes), more robust in bad weather, and include a 2L hand pump. For frequent tourers moving pitches regularly around Cornwall, the poled version is the practical choice; for longer stays on exposed pitches, the air version is worth the extra investment.How does the Kampa Traverse compare to the Waypoint and Roam?The Traverse is 205 cm deep (vs 180 cm on the Waypoint and 300 cm on the Roam) — giving you more living space than the Waypoint without the full footprint of the Roam. The poled Traverse also adds a front canopy and double-layer mesh front door that the Waypoint doesn't have. If you want the best value step-up from the Waypoint, the Traverse is the natural choice.How does the Kampa Traverse connect to my vehicle?All four Traverse awnings use dual Kador beading (4 mm and 6 mm) and are compatible with Kader rail, straps, clamp, and pole — giving you flexibility regardless of your vehicle's awning rail setup.Is the Kampa Traverse suitable for Cornwall's campsites?Yes — all four Traverse awnings are well-suited to Cornwall's variable coastal conditions. For windier, more exposed pitches around Newquay, Perranporth, and the north Cornish coast, the air versions' 150D fabric and webbing straps offer better weather resistance. The poled versions have optional webbing storm straps available separately. All Traverse awnings are designed for touring use rather than long-term static pitching.How long does the Kampa Traverse take to pitch?The poled versions pitch in approximately 13 minutes; the air versions in approximately 10 minutes. Both are designed for single-person pitching.What's included with the Kampa Traverse?Poled versions include a fibreglass pole set, peg pack, carry bag, and manual. Air versions include the inflatable air frame, 2L manual pump, peg pack, carry bag, and manual. Optional fleece carpet, footprint, and webbing storm straps are available for the poled versions.Where can I buy the Kampa Traverse in Cornwall?All four 2026 Traverse models are available online with free UK delivery and in store at Newquay Camping Shop — Cornwall's dedicated camping and caravanning specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, serving campervan and motorhome owners across Cornwall and the South West.

If you own a campervan with a low awning rail height — a VW Transporter, T5, T6, or similar — the Kampa Roam range is one of the most capable drive-away awning options on the market. Available in both a traditional poled version and a single-tube inflatable, both share the same generous 300 x 300 cm living space and 90 cm tunnel connection. Here's how they compare at Newquay Camping Shop, Cornwall's dedicated camping and caravanning specialists.Cornwall's campsites — from the exposed Atlantic-facing pitches near Newquay to the sheltered valleys of the Roseland Peninsula — demand an awning that can handle variable conditions.

For cooking under your awning, our Cadac FFD stove guide is worth a read.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat vehicles does the Kampa Roam fit?Both Roam awnings are designed for campervans with an awning rail height of 180–210 cm — the standard height for VW Transporter, T5, T6, and T6.1 campervans. If your vehicle falls in this range, either Roam will fit. If you're unsure, pop into our Newquay showroom and our team can help you measure up.How does the Kampa Roam Air connect to my van?The Roam Air Low connects via throw-over guy lines, clamp and pole, or dual beading (4 mm and 6 mm) — giving you flexibility depending on your vehicle's awning rail setup.Can I add a bedroom to the Kampa Roam?Yes — an optional bedroom annexe is available for both the Roam Low Poled and Roam Air Low, turning your awning into a separate sleeping space. Ideal for families where the kids sleep in the awning while the adults take the van — a popular setup on Cornwall's family campsites.Poled vs inflatable — which is better for a campervan awning?It depends on how you use your van. If you move pitches frequently — touring Cornwall's coast road or the South West — the poled Roam is lighter and easier to pack. If you tend to stay on one pitch for several nights and want the quickest, most secure setup, the Roam Air Low's inflatable frame and storm straps are the better choice.Is the Kampa Roam suitable for Cornwall's campsites?Yes — both versions are well-suited to Cornwall's coastal conditions. For windier, more exposed pitches on the South West coast — particularly around Newquay, Perranporth, and the north Cornish coast — the Roam Air Low's webbing storm straps and heavier 150D fabric give extra security. Both awnings are intended for touring use rather than long-term static pitching.What's included with the Kampa Roam?The Roam Low Poled includes a pole set, peg pack, carry bag, and manual. The Roam Air Low includes a 2L manual pump, peg pack, carry bag, and manual.How long does the Kampa Roam take to pitch?Both the Roam Low Poled and Roam Air Low pitch in approximately 12 minutes — and both are designed to be pitched by one person. The Air version's single-point inflation makes it particularly straightforward once you're familiar with the setup.Where can I buy the Kampa Roam in Cornwall?Both models are available online with free UK delivery and in store at Newquay Camping Shop — Cornwall's dedicated camping and caravanning specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, serving campervan owners across Cornwall and the South West.
