Wonderful site and location

Had three nights here, mixed bag with the weather, you really can experience every type of weather in just a few hours. I think most people have mentioned about the walks and places to visit so I will just add a few notes that we discovered during our stay but hadn't read about. There is masses of parking in Tintagel, most suitable for motorhomes one even with overnight stays allowed but not with the views or facilities of Trewethett. A really good hardware store in Tintagel that sells just about everything. We didn't do the castle in Tintagel but you can access the stunning bay, Merlins Cave and view the new bridge all from the bay. Toilets, cafe and visitors centre all down at the bay, don't forget your swimwear it was amazing. There is a shuttle service provided by a constant stream of Land Rovers from the village down to the bay, a small charge, I can't recall how much as we didn't use it, but it is handy for anyone with mobility issues or just can't face the walk down or back up, but either way a visit to the bay is a must. Get a pasty from one of the many shops and take it down with you for a lunch on the beach. Two supermarkets in Tintagel, one in Boscastle which was sadly shut due to a COVID outbreak although we were reliably informed due to open again any day. As for the site, yes it is a bit frantic searching out the best pitch clutching a piece of pipe but is better than driving around. Two shower blocks, the one that services the top field pitches are porta cabins, not too bad but obviously not the standard one would normally expect from a CS site, however, we usually use our own facilities so not too much of a problem. The shop stocks most of your essentials and as previously mentioned they do have a take away van visit but we didn't use so can't comment. I think I could safely excuse any small niggling grumbles I might have because of the stunning location of this site, perfectly situated on the South West Coast path between Boscastle and Tintagel, challenging walks in both directions but well worth the effort if you're able. I do have just one last thing to say, as we were leaving at about 11.20am there was already a queue forming to get onto the site and the wardens were letting people on. In the e-mail I got sent I was informed that arrival could not be before 12pm, I can understand people wanting to gain an early entry to grab the best pitches but surely we all have to play by the same rules. And also we can't have rules which some are kept to i.e. limited access to showers and toilets and yet a free for all when it comes to arrival times and getting a pitch. Please take note CAMC and arrive early!
