Most beautiful views from first-rate site

We had a very warm welcome to this beautiful site. The wardens were helpful and well informed. The views are breathtaking and that would be enough to recommend the site. However, the facilities are great, very clean and well maintained. Everything we could want except a dog wash. Handy access to the coastal path. Just down the lane from a bus stop to Tintagel or Boscastle and further afield. We didn't have children with us and our stay was in term time. I'm not sure of its suitability for young children due to steep cliffs nearby. Our stay was during windy weather and the sea breeze is bracing so very refreshing. The site was full which is testament to what it offers. Loved our stay here!

A Slice of Cornish Delight

I can only mirror the previous reviewers in that this site is wonderful due to its stunning views, walks, local attractions. I looked at reviews of this site before booking and there were moans about an onsite shop and some occasional words about unfriendly staff. My experience of these comments is that the kids should be kept under control and the rest of he moaners need to be organised and buy what you need before you arrive at the site or do some shopping locally when you are out and about. In summary, it’s an amazing site, but you need to be organised and have some manners and respect.

The best location but some downsides compared to last year.

There is no doubt that this is one of the best CAMC sites we have been to, we were repeat visitors and have looked at other sites nearby and this is a stunning place. It’s kept really nice and clean and the main toilets and showers are always kept to a really good standard. The walks and views around the site are stunning, and Bossiney Cove is well worth a visit, from half way down the tide to half way up. Beware if the wind picks up then there is zero shelter from it so awnings and tents can take a battering. Compared to last year the only down side was that a couple of the members of staff were very un child friendly. CAMC sites are usually great for kids but we didn’t experience that this time. My son told us that one particular warden had told him and his new holiday friend that they were nasty little buggers… he”s 9, and I’ve never heard him use those words before. The rest of the staff were great but as is often the case it only takes a couple of bad eggs to spoil it. Also the shop has gone so no basic supplies or a bag of sweets as a treat for the kids are available. It’s a very quiet site in terms of noise which is both good and bad. Also I thought it was a bit poor show that during the two storms that we experienced we didn’t see the wardens going out to check everyone was ok. One poor family had had their tent flattened by the wind and were trying to dry themself off with the hair dryers in the toilets. Not a warden to be seen. On a more positive note it’s a fantastic base for exploring Cornwall. There is a great wealth of information of places to go and things to do in the information room on site. We will go back and just hope certain members of staff have moved on as it is a stunning place to be.

Best site we have stayed on!

Firstly, the best thing about this site is the location! The views are amazing, it’s near Tintagel castle which is great, so much to do in this area. If you go for a 10 minute walk to the right side of the site past the NEH sites, you can see Ladies Window which is perfect during a sunset to take photos. Staff were great, polite and always smiling and waving to our children when passing by on their tractor. Overall very happy. I did walk around the site and the best pitches are to the right in the middle and lower rows for the views. If you’re visiting and need directions. You have to avoid some roads. So my best advice is to travel down the A39 into Camelford, to the B3266 road (50.6138361, -4.6864242) then go directly to Trewethett Farm Site from there and it will help.

Outstanding views

Wow... What an amazing site.. on arrival we was greeted by a lovely guy who told us to park up go in office get a tube and go pick a pitch.. the ladies Jackie and Nikki were do friendly..tbh that was so good to do.. after picking pitch we could go to it.. here if you wanted to change pitches you could .. better views on certain pitches .. we were in 56 an 57 right on the front was leaving the next day so we did move.. the site is overlooking an amazing cove. We walked from the site to tintagel.. which yes was very hilly but omg the sites are so worth it.. we saw the castle ruins but knowin it cost 23.00:each to go there we decided against it and looked at it from the amazing hotel opposite. We walked from there into tintagel wow lots of pubs, shops, tea rooms, etc we then walked thru the village for a bit and came to a tea room so we sat and had a drink there before heading back to the site ..and row the sunsets were amazing every night . While there over our few days we visited bocastle, port Isaac and another place which had a beach and a shopping town with varied shops etc The site itself was immaculate the bin areas cleaned constantly.. On the last morning of leaving we finally got to see the dolphins swimming in the cove.. made my day ... Now the bad points . The last 15mins drive is a nightmare.. the lanes are so not made for caravans.. please take note use the directions given on the actually caravan site that are given at the bottom.. We will be back tho but for longer..

Lovely August Holiday... Just a few downsides.

We've just had a lovely August holiday at Trewethett Farm Club Site. We got through good and poor weather and two storms! We did get out and about visiting local places of interest too. We found the staff there were amazing at the work they do. Including extra work from bored children having their fun while their parents don't know what their children are doing. Unfortunately the Men's toilet cubicles had lots of toilet paper thrown over the floor and in nearly every cubicle. This happened on a few nights we were there. The ladies block was not trashed. We feel there needs to be cameras placed outside the ladies and gents toilets so culprits doing this could be noted and given a talking to. There possibly needs to have big signs saying no ball games etc. Children were not playing in the children's play area and their ball became lodged under our caravan. We did manage to get it out eventually and give it back to the waiting children. Heaven forbid if they had got sticks and tried themselves... it could have damaged our motormover! Other than that we really enjoyed Trewethett Farm. The staff there were very helpful. We saw them cleaning the Information room when that had been trashed too by the children the night before. We witnessed it all. We will stay here again, just probably not in August! Thank you to the staff at Trewethett who do an amazing job under the circumstances. You do this site a credit with people arriving early (one at 11am!!!) Also for the extra cleaning you do after badly behaved children have their fun with no parents in site!

Marked change from previous visits

We have visited this site many times and never been disappointed until now. Draconian enforcement of arrival time so don't arrive early by even 5 minutes! Two female wardens, one very friendly and helpful, the other abrupt to say the least. Office hardly ever open compared to previous years and no shop for basics. Loads of dogs as usual (not everyone a fan!). Don't have a dog if you're not prepared to pick up poo!

Another visit but some changes from the 'norm'

A return visit to this site & so we were aware of the way to approach this site (B3266 from Camelford, as per directions). In the past, we have followed the SATNAV directions & regretted it. Arrival was well organised (at 13:10 there were 5 units ahead of us) and a pitch was secured with great viewing in a few minutes. First interaction with the reception was 'functional' at best and I was surprised to see no shop at all (which means NO milk, bread, butter and Calor Gas on site). I understand that the choice to provide a shop is down to the wardens but every other time I have been here there has been a very reasonable selection. Your alternatives are Tintagel (if you need gas the Hardware store stocks some or the bp filling station in Camelford has a supply) or Boscastle. I was struck by how often the reception was closed (6 wardens on the site list) so make a note of the opening times. Wardens were busy and only one seemed to want to interact with members - may be that was just me! So, all the usual breathtaking views and great walks along the coastal path but some rough weather. my advice - bring what foodstuffs you need for the initial part of your stay, check your gas and bring storm straps

Do Your Research!!

On reading the reviews Initially this looked like a very good site to visit over looking the sea but this is a site located right on the top of a hill between 2 villages with very steep roads and sharp bends to negotiate, which on leaving makes the access out quite daunting to novice caravaners as it is all uphill and in Boscastle there is a sharp turn which if traffic is coming down makes the road quite tight. No mention of these steep hills anywhere that I could find in previous reviews. The site its self is more geared to adults as there is no facilities close for young families unless they like watching the rabbits ( enjoyable to watch though ) There is nothing nearby to do on an evening if you wanted to get away from the site unless you drive 2 miles either way. Pizza van on a Thursday was the highlight. Lack of basics at the reception ( small shop). I cannot knock the cleanliness of the showers/toilets etc and never a shortage of hot water although careful where you pitch as it can be a fair walk to the shower block. Also as the site is quite open if the weather turns as it did whilst we were there you may not be able to erect your awning as the wind and rain is very strong. One fellow caravaner's awning uprooted and was nearly lost. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. They maintained the piches and servcie areas. Although we had a nice time we would not have gone in the first place and would not be looking to go again mainly because of the access issues.

Away from the hustle and bustle.

A lovely positioned site overlooking the dramatic coastline of North Cornwall. The pitches are mainly flat and spacious on tiered levels. The main attraction for this site is the tranquil nature and the walks around the locality. One thing to realise is that the nearest shops are a good walk from the site, especially if via coast path. The facilities that are on site are kept clean and in good order by the staff who are friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the lack of a shop selling basic items.
