Another good stay at Trewethett Farm - but be aware of the changed advice on how to access this location.
Firstly and most importantly check the route information to access the site. The A39 at Camelford is completely closed to all traffic at the moment and an alternative (narrower) entry route is now on the website. On the whole, it is ok for access but there is a narrow bit as you turn by the transmitter (as per stated directions) that you’ll need to be aware of, esp as diverted HGVs are also using that route.
The site seemed to be better kept than in some previous years and everything seemed to be neat and in order. The grass field looked particularly good. Some new Portakabin showers have definitely improved the top block shower area.
The staff are all friendly and helpful and manage to do their jobs unobtrusively. Well done!
The showers in the main block need updating- the controls are so worn the temperature indicator has no bearing on the outlet temperature but, once you get the hang of each individual unit, it is less of an issue.
We had a lot of rain during our stay. On our pitch, the rain ran off the awning and turned the pegged area to a wet cement consistency (and so the pegs lifted in the wind). I ended up using a combination of yellow plastic ‘grass’ pegs (yes the hardstanding was that soft) and long heavy-duty pegs. So my advice is to carry a variety if the weather is forecast to be inclement.
