Godrevy Upgrade

Ooops, just checked the current site plan and there are now 9 non awning pitches. That's a bit of an improvement since I was last there. That might entice me back to using the site again?

Browsing the forum over the weekend I saw this subject and having a booking to stay at Godrevy for 10 nights in May as part of a longer stay in Cornwall I was more than a little concerned. After verifying that the site did look to be closed during the period that I had made the booking, I fortunately found availability at Gwithian Farm, just down the road. It was also cheaper to stay there than at Godrevy Park where we have stayed quite a few times as we love the area and it's proximity to the beach and local facilities.

What I am really annoyed about is that the CAMC had taken my booking as recently as during the Christmas/New Year holiday and if I had not seen the postings on the club forum when would I have been informed that they were not going to honour the booking made? Perhaps too late for me to have got the alternative local site on the dates I needed?

If we like Gwithian Farm we might not be returning to Godrevy Park after it's upgrade but will stay there instead, especially as it's cheaper than the ever increasing prices that are being charged by the CAMC!

I often thought about trying Gwithian Farm but the T&Cs put me off, especially before CAMC started taking deposits. Churchtown Farm has similar T&Cs as well.

Gwithian Farm might be ok off peak but I would not touch it with a barge pole in peak, they do cram them in.

Gwithian Farm is nicely placed for the beach and the Red River Inn pub across the road. As peedee says, it's nice off peak, I stayed there in June once for a couple of rest days. Summer peak season is just like a lot of sites, rammed and noisy. We used to get complaints about the noise from our campers when we were at Godrevy, and that's a 20 minute walk away!

Churchtown Farm also in the village is more orderly but equally as noisy in peak. It does have a splendid CL across the road which has a large conifer hedge taking that noise away.

Back to Godrevy, it's so well drained there, hardstand pitches would be overkill and spoil it's character in my opinion. Probably wouldn't get planning anyway.

Pitches 36 or 60 would be my choice for non awning peedee

Thanks JK, I will keep it in mind.

£42!!! I'd want the blooming freehold for that.

No worries, CY, you can always join the wildcamper in the layby down the road and add to his collection of full bin bags. 👍🏻

I thought the club was the master at this?

Not by a mile CS. I've seen tents booked in between van pitches at Gwithian, all less than 2 meters apart, the site would probably be breaking lots of laws. You're not allowed to exceed the maximum pitch allocation at any time (LA rules).
