Great site

Great site situated 5 mins walk from Godrevy dunes and a 15 min walk to fantastic surfing beaches.Stayed here several times and make use of bus stopping outside site to travel to Hayle and St Ives. You can walk to Hayle but I consider the road to be very dangerous as you have to use a blind corner and traffic travels quickly , although the farmer has provided a passage alongside his field which enables you to miss this bend but can be messy when wet.Although the site has no hardstandings we stayed after 2 weeks of heavy rain and we had no problems using common sense on how to park your motorhome .It is great site for dog owners as the walks are never ending . BUT I have to complain about dog owners not cleaning up after their dogs and not walking them to the dog walk , 200 metres max. I was disappointed at owners letting their dogs mess on plots as we all want to sit outside in the sun and do not want the smell of dogs business . The wardens responded brilliantly to complaints BUT it is not their job , it is you dog owners ( of which I am one) to keep our campsites clean. This is not just a moan about Godrevy but all campsites so dog owners step up to the mark and prevent non dog owners from hating us more. Eat at Red River Inn in village , very good .Eat at Salt kitchen in Hayle very good , both dog friendly. Eat at Union Inn St Ives , very good , dog friendly and had 2 steaks and a bottle of wine £20 , not bad . I would love this site to be improved so as to make it open all year ( hardstandings ) .

Fantastic site with superb wardens.

Visited this summer and had very mixed weather. Far more rain than other years yet the wardens kept the site neat and tidy in very bad conditions.

This site is superbly sited near so many attractions and the excellent Hayle beaches just across the road. The shower blocks were kept very clean even though the site had become very muddy with the rain. The extra touches of fresh flowers in the shower blocks. The shop was well stocked great for everything even afternoon teas...cream teas and ice cream. Papers every moring saved the dangerous walk to the shop down the road. 

The team of wardens were helpful, great local knowledge and went that extra mile if needed. They were always there to give that help and worked very hard to keep a very busy site in tip top condition. Keep up the good work and we hope to see you next year.

Thank you all for making it a great visit to Cornwall.Cool

WONDERFUL

Loved this site. Access was easy even towing a twin axle caravan. The site is situated just across the road from some sandunes which are great for walking your dog or for your children to play on. Lots of places to visit nearby, lands end, Falmouth , St Ives. If you visit St Ives as parking is difficult I strongly reccomend the branch line park and ride, parking is easy there and the views from the train are outstanding.

Nice site but not for motorhomes

Nice site, friendly wardens and decent size pitches, but would be much better with hard-standings, as the land is very sandy and full of rabbit droppings which walk into the van. Very dark at night, so watch out for rabbit holes when walking to toilet blocks. Also, the exit to one of the toilet blocks has a step which slopes slightly down and I slipped off this (as I didn't see it in the dim light) and badly sprained my ankle. You can't drive into St Ives so have to take the train. Not an ideal place for motorhomes.

Comment from The Club:

Many thanks for leaving a review and we are very sorry to hear that you slipped and hurt your ankle.  The Wardens at the site have been in touch with us and advise that the area around the toilet blocks is well illuminated all night.  Re parking in St Ives - this is always a problem and most visitors  prefer to take the train as it is less stressful. 

During the peak times, it is highly recommended that you use the Park and Ride car park at Lelant Saltings railway station.

There is also a park and ride bus service operating from the Trenwith Car Park to Royal Square. More information regarding parking can be found on the Visit St Ives website under car parking.

Godrevy Park continues to attract both caravanners and motorcaravanners and is located in a beautiful part of Cornwall.  Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Had a great time

Had a fantastic time site lovely,  wardens nice and site nice and quiet.  A good base to explore Cornwall as nothing that far away. I have coeliac disease so finding gluten and wheat free food is always a challenge - no problem as St Ives has loads of gf options including gf ice cream and cones, loads of cream teas available too, the diet must start now! Beach and sand dunes so picturesque and on a quick walk from the site to see the seals was the icing on the cake definitely recommend and see you next year!

Super site & excellent wardens

We visited Godrevy during the height of the season at the beginning of August. Obviously the site was very busy but the wardens couldn't have been more helpful, considerate & welcoming. The best wardens I've met for many years. Fantastic location - we spent many happy hours on the beach & walking in the sand-dunes, so no need to use the car. Thank you to the wardens for making our stay so enjoyable.

Another great stay!!!

As a family of 4 plus one dog this is our fourth time here. This time we booked back end of the season for a change and it did appear less busy, however what a difference new wardens make. The last time we was here we was earlier in the Summer but all the caravans were tightly packed in which I would say is all down to the original wardens. This time a complete set of new wardens that couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.All pitches are what I expected from the caravan club more spacious than previous years.We turned up in terrible weather and we couldnt have been more welcomed by the wardens advising of us condition of pitches etc due to the amount of rain.Its nice to see we have the papers back this year which saves either having to go across the road to the other site or getting one whilst out and about. One thing I notice from some of the other reviews is the concerns about accessing the beach with a dog, the beach hasn't changed and you can still take dogs on to the left of the lifeguard hut which is now shut due to the condition of the steps. The steps have been battered in the storm but they are still used a lot and you can get down with care,less mobile people can turn left again at lifeguard hut and follow cliff along a short way and can gain access down a sand dune onto the beach.Only query I would like to ask the cc is about the WiFi, when I asked the wardens I was told you can only access one device when registered which I did find strange but I can confirm that isn't the case and we used four devices on one login details. Prices seem to have come down as well its £2.50 per day or £10.00 for the week.Speed of it was fine as well.Shower block on site was lovely and clean and a nice touch with the fresh flowers in them. I do think though they could do with an upgrade and especially for the men who have less showers.My only quibble with the showers and I noticed it more and more people dont clean floor afterwards leaving sand on the shower floor but this was later on in the day.We will definitely be back and I do hope they can keep the same wardens.

Tremendous

What a great place! We were on tour so intended to stay 1 night, however the place was so good (and the beach and bodyboarding fantastic) that we asked for another night, which the staff were very happy to do.  Nice friendly people and brilliant, spotless facilities.  Watch out for two things( not the site's fault by the way);-sat nav takes you to quarry down the hill from the site; if you have a motorhome like ours with the grey waste outlet on the nearside rear its a bit tricky emptying out as the road past is one way.

Second time round and just as good

So we arrived just gone midday to a warm and friendly welcome from the wardens, who even remembered us from last year. Cracking start then. The site is great - peaceful, quiet, 15 minutes walk from the beach - get the kids to carry the stuff and save on the carpark charges. It's well placed to explore pretty much of Cornwall, especially the coves and fishing villages. The wifi and mobile were both a bit iffy but that could be where the van was pitched as it worked perfectly in the third cubicle along in the gents! I'd be there every morning at half nine for 30 minutes peace & quiet and a few turns of online Scrabble. The toilets were clean and tidy. The pitches are well maintained and didn't get muddy/boggy despite the rain. They're a good size as well and you're certainly not on top of each other. The wardens were - as ever - friendly, helpful and efficient. The only problem were the other caravanners. What a bunch of miserable, unfriendly people. Maybe I'd inadvertently upset every single person on the site but my hello's and good mornings were either completely ignored; replied to with a grunt or met with a forced smile and reply through gritted teeth. What a difference from last year when we chatted with everyone around us, exchanged stories and suggestions on where to go; what to do where to eat etc. If someone had been thinking of joining the Caravan Club, they would have been seriously put off. The exception were two teenagers who's adorable 12 week puppy I met outside reception. They were happy to talk about their new arrival and where they were planning to take him. Despite this I'm sure we'll be back - not next year though, I've got my niece's wedding in the States in August. Don't let me put you off though - it's a great site and well worth going to. If only it wasn't so far away - oh well, ho-hum
