Plenty of space between pitches, and fabulous views! I loved the amazing coastal walks to Boscastle and Tintagel. Good facilities. The only slight negative is the nearest shop you have to travel to. I enjoyed my stay and I will definitely book again.
Wonderful views and walks
As you pull into the site the view is spectacular and there are quite a few pitches with great views. The staff are helpful and friendly upon arrival. The coastal path can be accessed directly from the site and provides quite a work out, walking sticks would be of benefit. There are a few eating places in Tintagel, it is a good 45 minutes walk along a very hilly road from the site. We walked to Tintagel along the coastal path enjoying the views, had a wonderful cream tea in the town and ideally would have liked a taxi back but ended up walking. We were travelling as a couple but I didn't see much for kids to do if you were travelling as a family. We might not visit this site again as there isn't too much to go in the surrounding area, but it is definitely worth a visit just to sit and admire at the view (when the sea fret isn't in).
Breathtaking views
Breathtaking views, clean facilities, good pitches - this site has all you need.
Perfect start for some nice walks on the coastal path to Tintagel or Bothcastle.
Please note: there isn´t any shop or restaurant on the site
Everything you need
Cannot fault this site; everything perfect from arrival.. facilities, staff,views,pitches,location..
no complaints, we will be back, very well organised and friendly helpful staff ..
Arrivals very well organised, the best I have experienced .
The views to die for, located right on SW coastal path, amazing walks
Highly recommend
Unbeatable View
We made a last minute booking and I'm so glad we did. Two friendly wardens checked us in, as previously mentioned in other reviews we were given a marker to 'bag' our pitch. It was good to be able to do this and see the pitches 'in person' and we chose one with a really good view - but I would say most have views better than regular sites.
We made use of the motorhome service point and then settled back to enjoy the view. Our pitch was a good size & level, the shower/toilet block was warm and every time we visited was clean. The site was well cared for too.
We loved it and hope to return some day- but not in high season as I imagine it would be a very different experience then
Scenic campsite
A very scenic and peaceful site with direct access to the coastpath .There is a good bus service from the campsite turn off road, allowing visits to Bude,Crackington Haven Tintagel and Boscastle etc.
It can be quite windy due to its location.
The warden was helpful and the facilities are well kept and clean.
Great site, let down by seasonal second facilities block
this is a great site with stunning views in a wonderful location, and because of that i have been returning several times a year for many years.
However as I am not retired yet, and can only arrive late on Fridays we always end up on the extension field which is great for the dog, however the nearest toilet block is now pretty much for me out of bounds as a wash and shower area and i only use it for the obvious. they might as well not put it up it so sad.
Love the site but........
Have visited this on on many occasions over the last few years and love the location, views and friendliness. However this visit was slightly marred on arrival due to an officious greeting regarding our arrival which was 20 minutes early.
Admittedly we did miss the laminated signs at the top of the lane stating “if you arrive before 13.00 keep driving” I did not expect to enter the site early but to wait until one and perhaps walk the dogs. As I approached the office to find it closed a lady emerged from a static caravan to inform me that we were not welcome until one o’clock. I said that’s fine we will wait in the car to which I was told I could not park in the very generous check in area which was empty and she would open the barrier to allow me to turn around and come back in 15 minutes time!
Anyone who knows Tintagel/ Boscastle area will know that the are not many places to turn around so it took the allotted 15 minutes to perform the unnecessary manoeuvre and return to site, Total madness.
Anyway as already said can’t fault the site and the lack of courtesy of one member of staff won’t put us off returning
Wonderful location
We stayed during the busy last week of the summer holiday. When we arrived, check-in was manic, with an onslaught of arrivals but the staff did an astonishing job of managing this efficiently and we were on a nice grass pitch in 15 minutes. Apparently, this is an issue here as people arrive to grab the sea-view hardstanding pitches. Maybe the site should just give a choice of grass or hard when booking and allocate pitches at random on arrival to prevent this hassle for staff? It would be nice if one could choose either grass or hard at time of booking, as we need grass for our awning and it would be a guarantee we could use it, as it would be a problem if we found we could not, due to the space it takes up in the van.
Views are fantastic and access to walks is brilliant, with Boscastle and Tintagel fine to walk to if you can handle coastal paths.
We love the area around Pentire Point, which is a relatively easy 30 minutes drive. We did lots of walking, visited some amazing beaches for our lad to play and surf and some lovely cafes/farm shops.
If you are in a camper, grass pitches may be a bit sloped, so bring some levelling ramps. Ours was flat and we needed grass, as I won't pitch our awning on stone chips due to the damage it causes. I would recommend some rock pegs or similar as the ground can be a bit stony in places and you might need at least a few where conventional pegs will not go in.
The staff were super friendly and amazing throughout.
The big shower block rarely seemed very busy despite a busy site. Some of the fittings are a bit dated but it all works fine and was nice and clean. An additional temporary shower and toilet block had been set up close to the tent field, which was major bonus to ease the load on facilities and reduce walks for those a long way from the main block.
The site shop does stock some useful essentials, but be aware that there are no shops for quite a distance either way from the site, so ensure you have adequate provisions when you arrive.
I know this is always a divisive point and certainly not a complaint against the club or staff, but there were way too many dogs on the site and I wonder if an exclusive area should be available for pre-booking if people want to bring them, then other visitors don't have to put up with them all over the site. Dogs tend to randomly urinate on posts, pitches and the like and it wasn't getting washed away due to the bone dry summer, so not very hygienic. Some also tended to bark repeatedly at anyone who passed by, which was a lot of the time. Most were well-controlled to be fair.
A wonderful holiday and we will definitely return.
Unbeatable location but the facilities need updating
We arrived at Trewethett Farm mid afternoon after driving over from South Devon. We received a warm welcome and good advice about which pitches would suit us as we wanted grass with EHU because we had the dog with us. We found a pitch with great views, just above the tent area, very slightly sloping but convenient for water, bins and CDP. We stayed for 6 nights, had to wind the awning in and rescue our windbreak on the first night because of the wind, but the rest of our stay was great, with very pleasant weather. A great site for exploring the local area and also for the dog as it is right by the SW Coast path so no shortage of places for walking him. My only gripe is the facilities. At around £40 night I expect better than a couple of aged portacabins for loos and showers. I know there is also a facilities block a few minutes walk away, but this too is a little tired and in need of an update. I cannot however criticise the site staff, who do their utmost to keep the facilities clean and tidy. I did hear a rumour that they have been granted planning for a new, eco-friendly facilities block so I would certainly be interested in returning once this has been built. In summary, a fab location, great staff but with tired facilities.
