We have just returned from 4 lovely relaxing nights at Godrevy Park.
We had our pick of pitches as there were only a handful of people onsite when we arrived so we chose the field closest to the play area for our 8 year old to enjoy. Upon arriving at the pitch we were delighted to see several families of wild rabbits mooching about our field.
The pitch was a great size, more than enough room for our car, van, awning and a good strip of grass alongside the awning to put the dog stake, camp chairs, airer etc. We had the entire field to ourselves until our last night which meant plenty of space for ballgames!
The facilities were spotless, the wardens were so friendly and helpful and our boy really enjoyed the brand new play area, especially as he was the only minor on site, he had it to himself!
We took a walk over the dunes onto 3 mile beach and had a dip in the (freezing!) Atlantic, enjoyed the dog walking facilities behind the site and chilled out watching the rabbits every evening. Such a central location for everything Cornwall has to offer.
Fantastic site, so quiet and peaceful with very little light pollution if star-gazing is your thing.
Will definitely return.
Good Stay
We spend three nights at Godrevy Park. The campsite is located very nicely. Through a site access you can reach the beautiful beach quickly. The bus station to St. Ives is nearby.
A nice campsite with very friendly and helpful staff, we will gladly come back.

Godrevy Park Club Campsite
We have been visiting this part of Cornwall for over 20 years and even today the site of Godrevy Lighthouse is still as special as the first day we set eyes on it when our children were young.
The site really is great. Pitches vary from small to large and there are some with views across the sea (just).
The best part about the site is location.
In less than 10 minutes you can be at Gwithian Towans, a wonderful area of headland and sand dunes with far reaching views of St Ives Bay and the Godrevy Lighthouse.
There is also a signposted path to Gwithian village which takes you across a field and onto the road at the bottom of the hill just a stone’s throw from the Red River pub. A busy little place serving a good selection of local beers (Tintagel Brewery Castle Gold highly recommended).
The headland coast path here is also excellent. Godrevy NT car park to Hells Mouth is a must. Look out for the seals, we saw over 50 sleeping on the beach far below.
Back to the site. I must say a huge thank you to the wardens on the Godrevy Park Club Campsite and especially to Mel and Scott who were so helpful and supportive during our stay. We were due to leave on Monday 8th August however whilst checking the wheel nuts on the van I put my back out and was unable to walk let alone hitch up the van and drive away.
Mel and Scott managed the impossible, they found us a pitch on a full site for three further days, allowing me time to recover. Scott moved the van for us (whilst I lay on the floor inside). What can I say, this is over and above their roles and my wife and I will be forever grateful.
Fortunately I was back on my feet the next day although sore was able to visit a local chiropractor. Two days later we felt fit enough to move on to Tintagel with Emma my wife now more equipped with hitching up, towing and levelling.
Thank you again to the Caravan Club.
You have some great wardens, please make sure they are recognised for their efforts.

Dogs & owners.
This is a lovely usually peaceful site. I stayed 10/8 to 15/8. Unfortunately this time we had groups of inconsiderate dog owners & lots of dogs . Some with 3 large ones per caravan. Dogs in the evening were left at caravans where owners had gone to friends for drinks. The dogs were left barking then setting of the rest nearby barking continuous until owners returned.
I was a dog owner so know it is the owners fault not dogs . However the site was over run with them on this occasion. It is school holidays but really felt sorry for staff as the toilet & shower blocks were left in chaos by some families . Water shortage yet young children unsupervised in shower block taking up 6 showers for ages whilst adults queuing for long periods. Do not have an answer but watching dogs urinate around tents & vans is not the normality on this usually good site. No idea how it’s solved but if everyone has a 2 or 3 dogs it was really overkill. !! I expect the answer is don’t visit school holidays. Staff need a medal & inconsiderate adults need to think of others when they are blasting out their loud music with friends round & dogs barking .

Ideal location. Lovely short walk to a fantastic beach. Godrevy NT a few minutes drive away. Access to St Ives and other areas via bus or short drive for park and train to St Ives.
Staff very friendly. Pitches are grouped into different areas so doesn't feel a large site. Good walking area especially if you have a fur friend.

Big Gem
Great site,well kept by the wardens.All grass and pitches seem larger than average.Central for seeing loads of Cornwall s attractions,local beach accessible by foot or car.
Beware on approach road,double mini roundabout at Lidl is a nightmare all day long
Beautiful location
Recently spent 12 nights here. Friendly, helpful staff. The site is divided into small areas of pitches so it feels smaller than it is. Lovely spacious pitches. The facilities were spotless. Reception had a good range of essential items for sale plus cream teas to take away in a bag! Delicious!
We were lucky enough to have a sea view from our pitch. A short walk out of the back gate takes you across the road and onto the dunes and beach. The other direction takes you across the fields to The Red River Inn where we sat in the garden and enjoyed a meal and a drink.
The bus stops outside the site gate and takes you into St. Ives.
We took the van into Penzance for the day where there was ample parking. We also used the large Sainsbury's there for shopping and fuel.
We will definitely visit this site again.
Immaculate well kept and friendly site
I stayed for 3 nights recently and was made very welcome by the extremely helpful staff. Its very close to the beach and coastal footpath and there is plenty to do offsite. Its great to be able to leave your motorhome behind and take the bus right outside the site. The facilities are spotless and the site feels serene and very safe, for a lone female traveller, thats important.
A week is not long enough.,,
We could have stayed here a lot longer than we did.
It’s a lovely well kept site sectioned off into smaller more private areas.
There’s a bus stop directly outside the site to get you to St Ives, Penzance and Truro and the bus service is regular and excellent, or you can walk out at the back of the site to get to Gwithian beach (amazing) and to the pub also very good.
I think this says it all, just don’t book one week because you’ll need two (at least if you have the luxury if a car)…
Also treat yourself to a crab sharing platter at the Rum & Crab Shack in St Ives - get there early for the window seat!
Love this site
Very close to home, but a world away. The light here is just amazing, and the location and access to the beautiful beach through the dunes is just breathtaking. Site is quiet and very well cared for, thanks to the excellent wardens. This was only a quick overnight stop as it was all we could fit in, and the weather closed in as we arrived (as it can do) but the following morning the sun was out and we had a fabulous walk. Could do with a shelf, or a stool and some more hooks in the showers, and some in the entrance area of the shower block, a minor niggle, but apart from that everything is perfect and we will continue to use this site regularly. Thank you to the wardens.
