Perfect (Well almost).

Other reviews sum up this site pretty well and it is as tranquil and as idyllically situated as described. The access however is very narrow indeed and I suspect will cause more than a little concern to most. it would be helpful if the arrival and departure times were observed as it was only by chance that we came across a rare passing place to allow an early arrival (Too early) to get by. It would have been a real issue if we were a minute or two earlier or later leaving the site. Arrival and departure times are stated in the handbook for good reason usually.
Please be aware that if you have children,there is a concealed disused quarry with deep water. This would certainly be an adventure playground for kids but would pose a risk if they ventured nearby without supervision.
Having said all this, it's a great little site and we are pleased that we've found it and we hope to return one day.

Hidden Gem
Trevitha Farm
A long, winding, mainly single track road approach road from St.Issey; no internet or phone signal; poor TV reception and sloping pitches - if you can cope with all this and do not want a manicured site but appreciate quietness and seclusion then you will love this site. We did! The published details are a little out-of-date and we had difficulty contacting the owner before we travelled but it is a gem of a CL. The site sits above a creek running off the Camel estuary. You can walk from the site to Padstow or, if you are less energetic, it is in easy reach by car to this great stretch of coast.

Initially Crowded
Trevitha Farm
This is a truly beautiful spot as detailed in the other reviews however there were some serious drawbacks during our week which are worth considering before booking this site.
Firstly, when we arrived we found a combination padlock on the gate which we had not been told about and we therefore did not have the code. Luckily there were other club members on site who were able to give us the code; had there not been anyone there we would have been well and truly stuck, completely blocking the very narrow lane with absolutely no hope of reversing or turning around. To compound this the only phone number for the site kept going to answerphone. I understand that this padlock is a recent addition following an incident of fly tipping however, the fact that we were not contacted and informed of the code shows a lack of organisation and poor communication.
Secondly, on arrival we found 5 caravans already on site, one of which was permanently pitched for the season but unoccupied at the time; we were told that the owners come and go regularly and indeed they arrived 2 days before we departed. So, we were the 6th van and our friends were 10 minutes behind us in the 7th! This is not a big site and due to the undulating nature of the ground, places that you can actually pitch are limited, especially if you have an awning. That said, there are numerous hookup points so without an awning and with a bit of imagination there are quite a few options. To compound this, one of the potential pitches had a very active beehive right next to it, although we were told that this was temporary. It took a lot of thinking and negotiating with the people already there to find 2 more pitches but this did result in 4 vans very close together which is not necessarily what you want when you go to a CL. As it was, we couldn’t find a pitch that was suitable for the awning so ended up siting our van temporarily and then moved it the following day when someone left.
Thirdly, do take note of the recommended maximum length of 6.5m. The approach road is very narrow and has several very tight turns. We have a Challenger 480 and only just made it round some of these bends. Anything longer and you may find yourself having to “shunt” round these corners. Also, the hedges had not been cut and consequently we ended up with numerous light scratches down the side of both car and van, so probably not for you if you have a new outfit.

Special place
Trevitha Farm
If you are looking for military precision line ups and mowed lawns, look elsewhere!
This is an unspoilt CL in a setting with so much nature and stunning surroundings, fantastic views of the countryside, and down the river to Padstow, plenty of space, rabbits visiting at night and egrets wading in the estuary fishing.
Very quiet as the lane only services a few properties.
If you have young children, note there is water in the old slate quarry and of course, the huge river estuary. The site is sloping in places which adds to the character.
The owner was friendly and very helpful with arrival instructions.
We enjoyed every moment, sit down by the river as the tide comes in with a cup of tea or glass of wine if you like, you'll probably not see anyone!
There are some very nice subtle touches that the owner has done here, you notice them, we did.
We would like to return soon,
Thank you for this CL!

I am renewing a review which was lost due to the recent web site change over. There were other reviews for this site too. This is a very lovely CL dipping down to the edge of Little Petherick Creek, not far from the Camel Estuary with walks which include one to Padstow (45 mins-1 hr of peaceful walking taking in the Camel trail.) The site is in a particularly beautiful spot, surrounded by unspoilt countryside however the access is tricky and not for the fainthearted down a long and very narrow steep banked Cornish lane. The rewards are good at the end! Amongst a huge amount of space there is also a nature reserve in an unfenced quarry, a haven of peace and tranquility with wildlife and plants to discover.
We visited this CL with friends for many years and for those who like the great escape it is worth a visit. It is possible to launch portable boats on the tidal creek. There are two pubs within reasonable walking distance and shops in nearby Padstow or Wadebridge.
