Was thinking of staying at Godrevy Park Cornwall during the Easter holidays but the club are charging top whack for the full two weeks, 29.00 for a grass pitch, I can stay at Gwithian farm on a hard standing for 21.00, site is just up the road and a little closer to the beach.

Another couple of hundred quid the club can afford to chuck, take it or leave it

Its 21 inclusive dog awning etc.  what do mean by bring some cotton wool ?

I won't let my experience change your judgement or opinion of any site. I merely stated you might need some cotton wool for your ears as some campers like to enjoy their holiday further into the night than you may appreciate. As there is no "policing" of any rules you may follow what many campers that have stayed there and come to our site for some respite and relaxation!wink

For peace and harmony, I'll just say, other sites may have hardstandings to park on but does that really give you all you require for a fantastic holiday near the beach? 

Enjoy your time in this fantastic county wherever you decide to staycool

Thanks for the info Jolly,  no "policing" of any rules  reminds me of the last time I stayed at St Agnes beacon cmc site.

And the pitches are closer together than at Godrevy. It’s opposite a pub which can be a two edged sword. It’s very popular with the surfing community - that is, the ones who don’t wild camp on the cliff top.

sounds even better smile me being a member of the 'community'

The original post is about the two weeks Easter holidays not midweek discounts either side of those.

Thanks all for the input, will report back.

Its a fantastic site, the problem was the warden.

I stayed on it for several weeks in the August holidays about six years ago. Kids riding bikes in the dog walk, using the circular road as a race track, bored teenagers making noise late into the night outside peoples caravans by the top of the site, one idiot let his small child drive round the road anti clockwise in an electric car !

we had a few days of respite when relief wardens came on whom took control, totally different site, then back to the regular warden who just didn't want to know.

Oh how I agree with that- the warden is the key to a good holiday on a CC site and in the past I have found that a grumpy warden or a jolly warden makes such a difference on your outlook!  but since I am now a non gridder- the problems of excessive charges, noisy sites, speeding cars, and even worse- a bad or idle warden,  have all disappeared. Apart from the obvious cost savings, they are the other benefits that I hadn’t thought about.  £8 a night whether it’s Easter or high season in Norfolk first then off to Wales with sea views and spanking countryside for £7 a night.

CCC have what seems a fairer system over the 2 week period:

30/3 - 7/4 - high season

8/4  - 14/4 - mid season

CCC members aged 60+ receive an Age Discount during mid and low seasons.

 

Even better value for those who are happy with  a grass pitch with ehu - according to the ACSI Camping Card book a number of sites, including some in Cornwall, are offering the ACSI Camping Card price throughout all of the Easter holidays.
