Lovely site - usual club standard, good facilities and friendly helpful wardens. Gwithian beach is beautiful and well lifeguarded. It is a good 20 minutes walk through the dunes to get to the beach however there are car parks near the beach access points and the National Trust car park at Godrevy point is free for members.
This site is in a prime location very near one of cornwalls most outstanding beaches and is always busy for that reason.
The wardens are friendly and helpful.
However the club has been relying on its location to fill this site for far too long and its about time the site was given an extensive upgrade.
The site has only one toilet/shower block which gets very busy at peak times and has low water pressure. You have to wait ages for the wash basins to fill up especially when its busy.
There are no hard standing or gravel pitches. No all service pitches and no street lighting which means on a dark night you will need a tourch to safely see your way on the site roads to the service block. For years we have been coming to this site and it has not changed at all apart from the new combination lock on the rear access gate.
It was supposed to be being extended with a separate exit on to the narrow in places busy beach road but this has not yet even been started.
It's the only site we have had a accident on leaving due to the fact the gate is always kept party closed meaning there is only enough room for one car and caravan to either exit or enter. Post office vans are notorious for Trying to squeeze in to the site as you are trying to leave, which requires a sharp left hand turn on to a busy narrow coastal road resulting in the back of your caravan swinging outwards as you leave hitting the side of any vehicle trying to get in at the same time.
So caravan and Motorhome club you have been told the faults of this site. Do something about it!!!!
Lovely site, beautifully located and very well maintained by friendly, helpful staff. Easy access to wonderful walks on the dunes and close to huge sandy beach. Lots to do in the wider area.
Only downside is that toilet/shower facilities are rather dated, though these could be helped by better lighting (the block is rather gloomy inside) and better water pressure in the privacy cubicles.
We are regular visitors to this fantastic site. There is no need to say too much just that you should visit and enjoy yourselves. The wardens make you feel welcome, are always smiling, helpful and keep the site looking good. Their efforts stand out over the whole site. What more can you ask for with the beach and coast path within essy walking distance.
We have not used a club site before and we were very impressed. The facilities may not look brilliant from outside but they were so clean, a pleasure to use. The wardens were friendly, helpful and cheerful.The site itself is so easy to get to and it is within sight of the sea and sand dunes, perfect for walking the dog, we will definitely be going again and again.
I had mixed feeling about booking this site after reading such negative reviews, but decided I would give it a chance. I am so glad I did this site is fantastic please ignore any negative reviews about this site, after staying a week here I can not understand what people are complaining about, the shower block and toilets were excellent and I was very impressed with the baby and toddler room with a toddler bath making it much easier to bath my 3 year old each evening. the wardens are very friendly and helpful I had cause to call an Ambulance for my daughter on only our first day on the site and the wardens were very helpful in directing them to our pitch. I will be returning to this site for many years to come. Highly recommend.
The site is easy to find. The location is great. Walking distance of the beach. Excellent spot to be based to tour Cornwall. We packed loads into our 2 night stay. It was windy when we were there, but we found a lovely sheltered pitch. The facilities were spotless and the wardens really friendly. We will definitely be back.
Fab first outing of 2017 in our motorhome and being local, we knew the location to be outstanding. This site also lived up to expectations! From the welcome to the facilities, the site layout to the pitches, the cleanliness and the maintenance - all was top notch. It would have been 5 stars for everything had it not been for the 3 chaps in the field next door who quite unexpectedly arrived with their noisy powered kites, which sounded like 10 lawnmowers. In fact the site wardens were also annoyed by the Sunday afternoon raised decibel level, completely beyond their control! Whatever, this is a great site, well worth a visit so, get your pasty packed and deck chairs loaded and book a spot! We shall be back even though we'd only travelled 5 miles from home! Thanks Godrevy!!
A short walk away from Godrevy beach this site is quiet and easy to reach - once you've found the way down the sometimes narrow lanes, but it's well worth it!! Pitches are grassed and with no obvious lines between them as you find on some sites, the only restriction is that motorhomes are parked in line with and at right angles to the numbered pitch marker - simple but effective.
A shower/facilities block set centrally and kept very clean and tidy. Dog walking available just outside the site on a public bridleway leading to the dunes and beaches. You can also drive down to within 100m of the beach on a tarmac road and there's a large carpark there where campers/ cars/ motorhomes can park during the day and a cafe nearby (Sunset Cafe) that does good coffee and an array surfing gear. Dogs are welcome too.
Overall I'd describe it as an easy-going and restful place to be. We'll certainly be returning..
Okay, we didn't travel far to Godrevy for our night there, but we fancied a night away close to home, so why not?
It's a cracking site - the facilities are clean, tidy and well thought through, the welcome was warm and friendly, and considering that it's almost within site of the A30 and has the back road to Portreath right next to it, quite astonishingly quiet. In fact, the loudest things we could hear were the waves from the beach.
Kids will love the playground, and it's a short walk to the beach. Quick word of caution: as a local, I know how fast some of my near neighbours drive on that road, so do take extra care when crossing.
Hayle's a five-minute drive down the road with all you'll need to stock up with, so what more can I say? We loved it, and we'll be going back when we fancy a bit of a break without driving more than a few minutes away.
