This lovely site will be home from home

Our son now lives in Hayle and so this site will be home from home. It is close to the A30 but not so close that you can either see or here it and is handy for so many places in west Cornwall including St Michael's mount (10 - 15 minute drive away), Falmouth, Penzance, St Ives and even has a station for those who don't want to drive too far. The site itself is lovely and I cant understand the moans about the loos. They are clean and tidy and pleasant enough. No problems at all with anything on this very cold late April. The only problem I have with the location sort of is getting to the dunes and open land above them for people who like me don't like walking in dunes. The access out of the gate is on a bend and in my opinion every time you cross the road you potentially take your life in your hands particularly if you have very elderly dogs as I do. Also the beaches might be an easy walk for the fit and young but not so for the older ones (dogs and humans). Also this time I spoke to a lady who saw 3 adders in the dunes none of which were particularly keen to move as they were warming up. There are no signs or warnings about adders in the dunes as such so people need to be aware. This is no reflection of course on the club site and has no bearing on how I rate it. Regarding access to the beach between end of September and end of April, there is a wonderful large car park at a place called Phillack which you can get to by going through Hayle and following the signs just before the co-op. The views on the drive are spectacular and even more so as you get out of the car park and walk past the pub (surely a place to go for a meal for those magnificent views). Once past there, there is a gentle slope so ideal for parents with children and pushchairs and the older folk too all year and for dogs out of season. The beach from here is amazing and as good as anywhere in Cornwall. Godrevy site is really good with friendly helpful wardens and is in a really good location for visiting all those places people want to see in this part of Cornwall. (There's even a seal rescue centre near Helston). As our son now lives in Hayle, this will be a site we regularly visit and already feels home from home but we have joined the ranks of the motorhomers who tow a car and this made life even easier!
