HOLIDAY HAVEN
Just got back from 14 days in Godrevy,arrived on the 13th and left the day the weather broke a little,so you can guess we had a fantastic time weather wise.
Having been here last year we knew what to expect and again we were not disappointed.The site and the facilities are great and the wardens are exceptionally helpful..Situated only a short distance from both coasts it's ideal for visiting different beaches and sights...Gwithian beach is fantastic but other places like St.Michaels mount,Portreath,Lands End,and Mevigissy are stone throws away.Not forgetting our favourite Kinance Cove....one of the most photographed coves in the world..
So as you can see we had a wonderful time and will be booking again on Dec 9th for next year...
Good site for the Beach
What can I say that hasn't already been said. I would make a couple of comments though. The site has just over 100 pitches and can be tight so can members just think about other users? The showers two just became a secondary swimming pool, looked as though they hadn't long been replaced which was great but why was I the only person thinking of the next person using the shower and cleaning up? The site is a good 2.5 miles away from town and walking down the road and you are taking your life in your hands if you want to walk...and the bus service as we discovered wasn't that great. If your going to St Ives take the bus from outside the site (No 57) its easier and far cheaper than the train. Staff and team as always can't do enough for you and make you feel welcome.
Fantastic!!
Just returned from a weeks stay and I must say what a fantastic site. The site was spotlessly clean, very well maintained and very quiet – although mostly full, the shower block is more than adequate and very clean at all times. This is a great site for a base as there are many beautiful places to visit and plenty of walks, the seals at Godrevy point are a must, we were very lucky and saw a mum and 3 pups!! whilst there carry on walking round to Hells Mouth it was about an hours walk with stunning cliff views. We choose this site due to its location as we have dogs and wanted to be able to walk to the beach in the evening (after an afternoon pimms!!), it was perfect, a 15 minute walk across the sand dunes and you arrive at the beach with breath taking views of St Ives and Godrevy Light house, the steps by the lifeguard hut mentioned in previous comments are passable, but it is a bit tricky, we walked bearing further left and found a descent through the dunes that was not to bad, a bit steep in places so take care if you are unsteady on your feet. Lastly I must mention the wardens, all were extremely friendly and very helpful at all times, thank you all for a fantastic holiday, we will be back.
Excellent site
An excellent site. Very friendly and helpful wardens, plenty of room on nice pitches, and spotless facilities. Lots to see and do nearby. Convenient for supermarkets just down the road and a short drive to the park and (rail) ride in Lelant to St Ives. Surfing is not quite so convenient but as members of the National Trust we could use the Gwithian beach car park 2 mins down the road for free and surf from there. Minor point - warden was understandably pretty unhappy with members using non-breathable groundsheets, thus spoiling the pitch for future users.
Lovely site
This is our 3rd visit to this site and although the weather wasn't that kind the site coped well. The warden helped position our caravan as the movers wouldn't work due to a bad battery connection. They're very particular where you park here!!! That said the site is lovely and quiet . No manic mowers just the odd pitch now and then. It's close to the beach and well placed for various places.
Beach availability
Due to weather damage the cliff path decending to the beach is no longer available. This means you will now have to walk to the car park a mile or so some 20/30 minutes depending on the various routes available across the dunes and your fitness. You also pay to use this carpark in the peak months if will be very busy. We found this very inconveinent when we went body bording/surfing using the site path an important factor when we chose the site.
Weekend break
Excellent site, lovely location if a bit breezy at times. The staff are all outstanding and provide a great facility. Whilst dogs are not allowed on the beach in the summer the dunes are expansive and a fantastic place to walk. We will be back, thanks for a lovely stay Paul, Janet and Summer (dog).
Our stay June 2016
This site is in an excellent location for getting out and about from either on foot, bus or car. Sadly we were extremely disappointed in the site itself. The site has no security barrier (gate is put across entrance at 8pm and you need to get out of the car to open it to drive through which is not my idea of good security). A barrier/keypad would be a great improvement. The site is very crowded and there are no hardstandings which were sadly missed in the recent wet weather although the site does drain well. The site is so busy that if you do have a good pitch it is 'eyed up' as soon as anyone departs and there are them members already on site moving from pitch to pitch. The shower block is in need of a complete refurbishment as it is old and tired. The water pressure is haphazard and the showers don't drain well and the shower block is cold. My wife tells me she liked the hairdryers in the privacy cubicles though instead of them in the inconvenient communal hadwashing area as on sites. The site is mainly quiet (except for the inconsiderate member in the van next door with their loud television and even louder snoring in the night!!). The wifi on site was good, the wardens pleasant and hardworking however this is not a site I would venture back to in a hurry until it is updated.

Cornwall Delight!
Just finished a 7 night stay at Godrevy Park. The approach is excellent, although some care is needed, (as stated in the published directions), at the small double roundabout just after leaving the A30 as quite a few of the vehicles approaching seem to be unsure who has right-of-way! Even with the site being almost full we found a great pitch with plenty of space and good drainage on the sandy soil. The rear gate leads to the sand dunes just across the road, (be careful when crossing as it's on a corner), which are fantastic for walking your dog and very popular. If you take a route to the left there is one place when access to the part of the beach where dogs are allowed is possible and a lovely beach it is. The part of the beach on the right does not allow dogs on it until after 7.00pm in the evening during the summer. Take the lovely walk to Godrevy lighthouse for fantastic views and call in at the Godrevy cafe, (by the national trust car park), for a drink or snack, before walking home. If you develop more of a thirst then call at the Red River Inn at Gwithain on the way back. Although the facilities are well used, we found the showers etc always clean and plenty of hot water so well done wardens. This was our first visit to Godrevy but it won't be our last!!!
