Amazing view from this site! Set on the top of a cliff, comes as a positive and a negative, as the winds can be very strong.
There is a small play area for the kids, as well as a main shower block that meets the usual CC standards, there is also a second shower block that I hope is only a temporary measure as they are just port-a-cabins. Whilst they were clean and warm, they were also quite small. I used them on the first day, but after that I walked the extra distance to the main block. A fish and chip van visits twice a week but we didn't get chance to sample the goods. The shop sells very basic goods and papers can be ordered in.
Wardens were friendly and efficient and keep the site neat and tidy. The cleaning times for the shower blocks are very clearly signposted.
The site is halfway between Boscastle and Tintagel, there is a regular bus service that stops right outside the camp site to both places. Boscastle is very pretty and a great place to spend a few hours. Tintagel has the castle of course, which is accessed by quite a steep path, there is a Land Rover service for those who don't fancy the walk. The castle is not a place to visit if you are not good on your feet as there are lots of steep, uneven stairs to climb.
We took the cliff top walk down to the beach, again this is not for the infirm or the young as it involves uneven slopes and steps. You can drive to the beach, but will still have to use some steep steps.
Loads of other stuff to do in the area, the site has an information room to give you ideas of what to do.

We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Trewethett Farm. I have to say, we could find no wrong with this site. The staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful. The site has amazing views across the bay and the pitches were huge with plenty of space between units. There are two toilet blocks, a purpose built one and a portacabin. Both were immaculate and had plenty of hot water.
We took our tent and, yes, it was very windy, but the site is on an exposed area right on the edge of the cliffs - if you're expecting gentle breezes, you should have paid more attention to your geography teacher at school!
This site is definitely for people like us - pull your walking boots on and go and explore. The South West coast path runs right past the site and will take you to Tintagel and Boscastle - both well worth a visit. The plus side to sites like this is it doesn't attract what I can only describe as 'chavs'. The peace at night (even during May half term) is amazing.

First the good news: the views are tremendous, partly from the pitches in the field and there's direct access to the coastal path.
Now the not so good news: when full (as it often is) the serried ranks of barely-large-enough pitches create the feeling of a housing estate, rather than a farm camping site. The closeness of everyone seems to create a sterile atmosphere with everyone keeping pretty much to themselves. Yes, people are polite and friendly but there's not much of a holiday atmosphere.
The bit that, to me at any rate, means I won't be going back is the regimented way in which the site seems to be run by the Caravan Club. We were woken at 9. 0am by the raucous exhaust of the vehicle used to empty the bins, leaving just 1. 5 hours before the one and only shower block closes for cleaning. The seemingly endless routine of cutting, cleaning, maintaining is presumably laid down by the Caravan Club, but here as elsewhere it does seem to result in the virtual destruction of anything vaguely resembling the countryside. It's called Trewethett FARM for goodness sake, not Trewethett Suburban Garden.
Finally, please would the Club arrange some advanced coaching in customer relations for the husband and wife wardens who dealt so very badly with my comments.

Visited over the Easter Weekend, weather sunny cold and windy. Not busy at all, lots of cancellations apparently. We chose a pitch tucked away against the hedge to give some shelter and sat back to enjoy what must be one of the finest views in England.
Facilities second to none, warm welcome from the efficient staff, not as authoritarian as some CC staff can be.
We walked to Tintagel and Boscastle, which require a reasonable level of fitness, and enjoyed some time down on the beach (Bossinney Haven). Again it's not the easiest to get to, but that means a good chance of having the place to yourself.
We gave up waiting for the Fish and Chip van, there was some confusion over the timings but I guess these things happen as the season was just starting.
We will definitely be going back.

We have just returned from a very enjoyable two week stay on this site. Very friendly staff. Whole site is kept immaculate. Ignore comments about being overgrown, just wild areas as it is on the top of a cliff. Yes we did take the awning down because of the wind but this didn't spoil our stay. Only to be expected on a site like this.
Scones from the Home made pasty shop in Tintagel are really lovely but their pasties can be variable depending on the staff at the time.
Well worth a visit. Plenty to do in the area.
Fish and chip van is very good. Spotlessly clean and excellent value for money.

We have just returned from a week at this site. We had a fantastic time we pitched our caravan on the top field at the side and had a full view of the bay and sea.
The week we were there it was very hot no rain at all and no wind. The sunsets were to die for and the last night was the best. Pure orange all over. The site is the best and so are the wardens.
The fish & chips on a tues and friday evening are great. We will be back, can not wait.
