Campervan Awnings & Canopies

The right awning transforms your campervan or motorhome pitch from a parking spot into a proper outdoor living space. At Newquay Camping Shop, 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, we stock one of the largest campervan awning ranges in Cornwall — from a £42.99 side canopy you keep in the van permanently, to a full inflatable drive-away awning at £574.99. Five leading brands, every attachment type, every budget.

Whether you're parked up on a North Cornwall beach, pitching on a campsite near Newquay, or touring the South West for a week, there's an awning here for you.

Side Canopies — Quick Shade & Rain Cover

Side canopies attach to the awning rail on the side of your van and give you instant shade or rain cover without the setup time of a full awning. Easy Camp's canopy range covers every budget from £42.99 to £119.99, with options for standard kador rails, wind-out rails, and vans without any rail at all.

Rear Tailgate Awnings — Back-of-Van Shelter

Tailgate awnings attach to the rear of your van rather than the side — ideal for VW campervans, SUVs, and vans without a side awning rail. We stock the full range from simple canopy-style shelters to full inflatable drive-away awnings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a canopy and a drive-away awning?

A canopy is a simple shelter that attaches to your van's awning rail — lightweight, quick to pitch, and compact to store, but open-sided. A drive-away awning is a fully enclosed, standing-height living space that attaches to the side of your van, with the option to drive away and leave it pitched on site. For most Cornwall beach days and short stops, a canopy is all you need. For longer stays on a campsite, a drive-away awning is worth the investment.

Which awning is best for a VW T5 or T6?

The Easy Camp Voss and Lom Tri canopies both include 5mm + 7mm kador beading covering the T5/T6 standard awning rail. For a rear tailgate option, the Easy Camp Krossbu fits the T5, T6, and T6.1. For a full drive-away, the Kampa Trip Air and Vango Galli Pro are popular choices for VW campervans. Call us on 01637 877619 and we'll advise on the best fit for your specific van.

Do I need a kador awning rail to use a canopy?

Not always — the Easy Camp Voss and Lom Tri include both 5mm and 7mm kador beading and can also attach via guylines thrown over the van roof. The Vango Arden tailgate awning offers over-vehicle strap and roof bar attachment. If your van doesn't have a rail, call us on 01637 877619 and we'll find the right solution.

Which awning is best for Cornwall beach camping?

For a quick beach stop on the North Cornwall coast, the Easy Camp Voss Canopy is the most practical — 2.3kg, pitches in under 5 minutes, and packs small enough to keep in the van permanently. For a longer stay on a Cornwall campsite, a full drive-away awning gives you a proper enclosed living space to cook, eat, and relax in regardless of the weather.

Can I use a drive-away awning without EHU?

Yes — all awnings in our range are self-supporting and don't require mains power. For lighting inside your awning, see our camping lights guide — the Vango LightBeam and Flexi strips are SkyTrack II compatible and work directly with Vango awnings. 

Which tailgate awning fits an SUV or estate car?

The Kampa Tailnest has the widest vehicle compatibility with a connection height range of 160–190cm, making it suitable for SUVs and estate cars that taller van-specific awnings won't fit.

Where can I see campervan awnings in person in Cornwall?

The full range is available to view and buy in store at Newquay Camping Shop, 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ — Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists, serving campervan and motorhome owners across Cornwall, Devon, and the South West. Call us on 01637 877619 for expert advice on which awning suits your van.
