Arrived at Godrevy CC Site 6th Sep 2015, site quite full, no hard standings, grass pitches, had, had, a hard summer, no grass whatsoever under awning? Just mud? Our pitch number 19 is next to a grass bank with ground sloping down to awning, we had heavy rain (not clubs fault obviously) but the water run into awning and it was like a lake for a few hours, this pitch need a soak away dug in between the bank and awning to take away surface water.
Toilet block looking tired compared to other club sites, shower cubicles very small, no bench to sit on just small plastic chair, bit of a Houdini to put your clothes back on after shower. That said the area is terrific, wardens very friendly, great area of sand dunes close by to take the dog, numerous supermarkets close by, and exceptional scenery. Won't come again because of mud under awning, we have decided to throw our ground sheets away because they are so muddy, the mud has come through breathable ground sheet, and settled on top of groundsheet, it's a mess. Can't the club just put chipping where the awnings go, or some other method to keep awning and ground sheets clean.

Visited this summer and had very mixed weather. Far more rain than other years yet the wardens kept the site neat and tidy in very bad conditions.
This site is superbly sited near so many attractions and the excellent Hayle beaches just across the road. The shower blocks were kept very clean even though the site had become very muddy with the rain. The extra touches of fresh flowers in the shower blocks. The shop was well stocked great for everything even afternoon teas...cream teas and ice cream. Papers every moring saved the dangerous walk to the shop down the road.
The team of wardens were helpful, great local knowledge and went that extra mile if needed. They were always there to give that help and worked very hard to keep a very busy site in tip top condition. Keep up the good work and we hope to see you next year.
Thank you all for making it a great visit to Cornwall.
Nice site, friendly wardens and decent size pitches, but would be much better with hard-standings, as the land is very sandy and full of rabbit droppings which walk into the van. Very dark at night, so watch out for rabbit holes when walking to toilet blocks. Also, the exit to one of the toilet blocks has a step which slopes slightly down and I slipped off this (as I didn't see it in the dim light) and badly sprained my ankle. You can't drive into St Ives so have to take the train. Not an ideal place for motorhomes.
Comment from The Club:
Many thanks for leaving a review and we are very sorry to hear that you slipped and hurt your ankle. The Wardens at the site have been in touch with us and advise that the area around the toilet blocks is well illuminated all night. Re parking in St Ives - this is always a problem and most visitors prefer to take the train as it is less stressful.
During the peak times, it is highly recommended that you use the Park and Ride car park at Lelant Saltings railway station.
There is also a park and ride bus service operating from the Trenwith Car Park to Royal Square. More information regarding parking can be found on the Visit St Ives website under car parking.
Godrevy Park continues to attract both caravanners and motorcaravanners and is located in a beautiful part of Cornwall. Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
