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!!!
Site review after staying there inJune 2026
This is a site that relies on its convenient position to the beach and Hayle more than anything else.
The site wardens were present and helpful. However the site needs a revamp and updating. Ie there are no hard standing or fully serviced pitches. There is only one shower block that needs updating. Ie the water pressure is so low at busy times it takes ages to fill a wash bowl and the showers make a awful noise when all in use.
The caravan club still insist on keeping one gate closed to the one main site entrance in spite of this causing an accident when a caravan leaving the site collided with a post office van trying to enter the site.
The security to the site is not good Ie only unlocked gates to the main entrance which although closed at night are not locked so anybody can open them.
Most sites these days have electric security barriers which you put a security code in to open them or a security card..
We were told a year ago that the site was going to be extended and another entrance put in. This is long overdue and needs doing badly.
Excellent site
This is our second visit to this site and we had no regrets in returning. The site facilities are clean and tidy, the pitches well marked, the location is unbeatable, there is a bus stop right outside the park going into St Ives and a fish and chip van visits serving excellent freshly cooked food. The wardens and site staff were all friendly and helpful. The site is well placed to explore this beautiful part of Cornwall. Despite the weather (quite wet!!!) we had a lovely 10 days stay and will be back.
Summer Holiday
This was our first visit to Godrevy Park Caravan Club site and we were glad we did. The site facilities were clean and tidy, the pitches were well marked, the location is unbeatable and best of all the wardens and site staff were all friendly and helpful. A most enjoyable holiday in Cornwall.
