Dornafield or Damage Barton?

Or a cancelation from some one who has now got a cancelation for the site they really wanted, but Godrevy had pitches at the time?

I think you're spot on there JV, happens a lot this time of year, people book an option until a better one comes up. Ha, well out of the 72 hours though eh!!!

JK

Thanks again to all. We are so looking forward to our holiday at Godrevy.

Jolly Kernow does the 57 bus go to Hayle and St Ives do you know and do they have timings at reception? You say that the furthest pith is 5 mins from the toilet block which ones are they. Does any pitch suffer from road noise from the B3301

Check the site plan, FB. You can see the distances and see which pitches are adjacent to the road.

Yes the 57 goes into Hayle, a quick detour into Philack and back then onto St.Ives bus station. Last year the timetable ran 7 days a week and were 9.25, 11.25 and 15.25 from site gate (request stop). There were also 3 buses back, the last one leaving St.Ives bus station at 18.15. Ask the driver for the club site and depending on traffic will either stop outside site gate or just before it in Atlantic Coast parks gateway.

As I mentioned previously about the popular areas, and as Tinwheeler says above, have a look on the site map. You will see the site road is a figure of eight, well it only takes ten minutes to walk all that. The site as a whole is 6.5 acres, well drained grass, only had two motorhomes stuck in the four years I worked there. There is some road noise but nothing obtrusive, weekends are busy because of the excellent NT car park at Godrevy Point..

I'm not back there this year but I believe there is some improvement works going on over winter (I hope so as I spent a lot of time planning with the area manager!)

You'll love it there, it's a popular site, always full from Whitsun until the end of September, when you meet the new wardens tell them the warden with the big 'tache says hi!

JK

Thanks so much JK. Having your hands on knowledge is great.

You say there's been some improvement works over the winter, any ideas what?

Morning

I won't elaborate too much in case it doesn't happen but it's mainly to do with the toilet block.

Choice of pitch will really be pot luck when you go as the site will be completely full, but if pitch 56 was vacant...……..

Theres a video of Godrevy on youtube.

Something else to consider FB. There is just so much to do and see in area, if you park up your MH, have you thought about hiring a small car? I used to take my parents down on train years ago, to stay in a cottage, and we used to hire a car for a week. Last year, a car from a local independent hirer would have cost £120 for week in July. We used independent hirers rather than chains and had no problems, very reliable and good clean vehicles. The problem of course may be having a dog, not sure if that would increase cost, but it might be well worth considering, it just depends how much you like to use your MH. If you know the area well, you can pick your routes and avoid tight places, but some routes will be tight with a wide MH, although buses do manage.

If you don’t fancy hiring, then Helston has car parks, you will be able to get down to Lizard if you don’t detour off main route too much and get their early enough to park up. Lands End itself is frankly awful, not worth the hassle but small towns and villages are lovely, but some are tight to get into. Marazion has big car parks and is fairly flat, if you want a run out back up A30, Lanhydrock (NT)  has a dedicated MH park with shuttle bus, and is a very nice visit. Truro is about an hour away.

We never used Godrevy, but only because we preferred Marazion, and later found a great CL. We used to spend months down there, all seasons, so did a great deal of exploring. Some of the Summer events are great, very different. Cornishman newspaper is your friend for finding out about local events. We did a trip to Isles of Scilly for £8 each using vouchers from Cornishman! 

If you want to stay in North Devon, may I suggest you check  Woolacombe Sands holiday park, its not a CMC site it is however a family owned park which boasts the nearest site to Woolacombe beach.  The village and coast is reached via a footpath that meanders through the valley, so traffic free. The beach at Woolacombe is nearly four miles long. If you google the beach, the part to the right of the stream is dog free, the part to the left of the stream up to an area called black rock is dogs on leads and past black rock all the way to Putsborough is lead free.  Dogs are also allowed on Barricane beach (right of the main beach).  We visit this area every year and have tried most of the sites in the area, but keep coming back to Woolacombe Sands.
