Reviewer: Newnatjj 25 reviews from this member

 Two Adults, two teens, dog, Outwell 7ac, premium pitch with EHU, water point, tv/dvd aerial.

Great facilities/amenities, stunning location, clean & tidy HOWEVER ridiculously priced (as in too expensive), very small uneven pitches (we had no room on our ‘Premium’ pitch to sit out), a few ‘lively’ groups (although after a word with staff this did get sorted).

Doubtful as to whether we would return due to price & size of pitch.

Reviewer: Leeroy1982 1 review from this member

 Spent an amazing week at trevornick, the site was kept clean and all amenities was the same, toilets and showers was fresh and very very clean. All the staff we dealt with was polite, and knowledgeable on any questions we asked. The children's activities was very good, always something on for the kids.

The on site shop was well stocked and had most items you would need,

We found it to be in a ideal location to explore the local area.

The views from the site are amazing, and the sun set over woodys bar was amazing.

My only point being was that the standard pitches was a bit on the small side.

We all enjoyed the time we spent there, and will be booking a trip there next year in the next week or so.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a well run, all around great site. Well worth the 5 star rating that they have!

Reviewer: Adsheadv 11 reviews from this member

 Had a lovely week at Trevornick with our 11yr old & our eldest son (25) with his partner in their own tent.

It's a really well looked after site. Toilet blocks were kept clean & fresh all day despite the site being virtually full. The shop sells a good range of things & was reasonably priced. Our 11 yr old loved the pool. Even the takeaway food was good!

It's a massive site & not the kind we'd normally go for but we loved it. Pitches aren't huge & it's not the cheapest site to stay on. But you can select your pitch when you book & measurements for each one can be viewed. And it's worth the extra for all the facilities to keep a tweenager entertained.

There was a bad storm one night & the next morning the field looked like a war zone - collapsed tents, awnings, windbreaks etc. The staff were really helping people who were affected & there's a good camping shop (Aztec Leisure) not too far away that sells replacement poles etc. Thankfully, our tent stood up to it & we'd taken the windbreak & tarp down before the storm really got going.

The only downside for us was the sloping pitches. We slept with our feet pointing down the hill & woke up half way down the bed more than once. So we 'scouted' around and made a note of the flat, dog friendly pitches for next year :)

 We have just got back from our second visit to Trevornick after our first visit in 2015 was so good, and have already booked in again for next year!

Taking our two boys ages 7 and 2 camping on one of the larger pitches available on the site, space and variety of facilities on site is always of value to us. The site offers so much from basic camping through to glamping and caravaning with a variety of pitch services which helps with costs.

Although we were camping at the start of the peak holiday season and the site was very busy, the site never felt crowded and we never had to queue in the toilet blocks for loos or showers.

Everything on site is clean and tidy, and I never found anything that didn't work on site. I regularly saw the staff picking up odd litter, even when it wasn't their job. All the staff seem to work like one team, almost a family, which is really nice.

The children's activities were excellent, and both of our children were thoroughly engaged and loved them. The restaurant Fodders served lovely food and helped us find food for some particularly complicated allergy combinations. The swimming pool, although only an outdoor pool and relatively small, was warm and never seemingly over-crowded - and we especially appreciated the adults only swim hour for two mornings!

The site is also so well located within Cornwall with excellent beaches close by, wonderful attractions well worth visiting within a short drive, and a beautiful landscape to enjoy when you get of the main roads.

 Wow what a site. The site owners and management should be very proud of this little gem. Upon arrival we were escorted to our pitch and given advice on where nearest amenities, shop, restaurant and pool were and which direction to place our tent as large square pitch gave us lots of options, by a lovely chap on a moped. All areas of the site were SPOTLESS. The toilets were constantly being cleaned by both male and female attendant who were very thorough and very polite. The pool was excellent with a designated dog area although a few loungers needed the back raiser fixing it was very clean and the water heated. There are beauty treatments available and a solarium but didn't use them so can't comment. The laundry was awesome lots of machines and dryers and fixed ironing boards & irons anyone travelling with young kids will appreciate this. The shop is small but fully stocked and very reasonable, and the hire shop could rent you anything and everything from surf gear to camping items to tables and chairs and freezers !. We had a BBQ every evening so didn't use the restaurants but seemed busy and the kids did use the take away for snacks which were tasty and cheap enough. There is lots to do in the area we visited Lands End, & Cornwall Gold but site so nice happy to just relax, and as lots for the kids to do on site in the playing field the forest to the games room and the shed and the pool it was difficult to pull them away. The local beach at Hollywell is beautiful but a good walk from the car park let alone the campsite but there is also Crantock and perranporth for ease. On the whole this is a 10/10 campsite and am looking forward to returning next year.

Date of Visit: July 2016 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Andrewdoddsuk 7 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 9 nights at Trevornick.

Trailer tent on a premium pitch (Water, electricity and TV point). 2 Adults, 2 kids and a dog.

Very pleasant site, notably dog friendly, very clean. Excellent shower block - no coins or tokens and the water stays on for a minute at a time. Despite the site being nearly full there was never a queue for facilities for us.

The swimming pool is heated making it usable even when the weather isn't great.

The on site shop is well stocked with the usuals (including fresh croissants in the morning). There are two restaurants, which are decent enough and not too expensive.

The beach is a bit of a walk away but it is a great beach especially for bodyboarding/surfing. Plenty of walking in the local areas as well.

Cons. Well, it does get busy. Not a site for the wild campers out there. The whole area gets busy as well.

 We've been coming to this site every year for the last 4 years but unfortunately this is our last. The park is lovely, clean and in a great location but because extra members of the family will be joining us next year, the price is unacceptable.

We have found sites nearby with the same facilities but a better price. The site is always clean with lovely staff and there are some great coastal walks.

Been good here but it's too expensive now.

Reviewer: Shelleyneil 2 reviews from this member

 Well what can we say - Trevornick has got to be the best campsite we have stayed at. The staff were ALL absolutely fabulous, Kaitlyn, Dani, Jade, Jenny, Sally and all the other staff were always looking out for us and checking that we were ok. It felt like one big happy family.

We travelled in May half term as our familymoon - having got married in March - The Trevornick Team left us a lovely bottle of Prosecco outside our tent with a note to say happy honeymoon, enjoy the bubbles. What a lovely touch.

The campsite was 'quiet' we were told as it was the beginning of the season. During the summer holidays it does tend to get busy (we aren't quite brave enough to return for the busy period just yet, as we are quite new to camping)but we will hopefully be returning next year.

The pitch we were on was quite large with plenty of room for the kids to play around. It was quiet on our field (only about 4 others, there were lots of pitches but just not in use). We had electric hook up, water and also aerial - Trevornick have a DVD channel they put films on three times a day 9am, 5pm and 9pm. Good choice of films. Just remember to retune your tele when you get there - we didn't and called out the maintenance team - felt a bit silly when he asked about retuning it! needless to say after being a little red faced, Wayne helped to retune the tele and it all worked!

Toilet and shower blocks were always clean and tidy - no issues there.

Kids playgound was really good- ourtwo boys (aged 11 and 5) were loving it in there, lots to do.

The shop was well stocked (although a little pricey on some things ie teatowels - we'd been into Newquay and bought 3 teatowels from the pound shop and they were selling the exact same ones in the shop for £1 EACH!- spose thye've gotta make some money). The ladies in the shop were lovely, recognising us from the day before.

Fodders - the restaurant was nice too. Food was lovely, only gripe about that was that they had no roast chicken as was on the menu :-( other than that cannot fault Fodders.

The takeaway part of Fodders was not good at all - as I've seen on other reviews on here it was diabolical, they didn't have half of what was on the menu and the food that they did have was shocking - but to be fair to the team when told that it was awful they did give us a free round of drinks. Kept us happy!

Woody's- the other bar/eatery on site was also good. Staff again were friendly, pleasant and nothing was too much bother. Stunning views from Woody's out onto the golf course, we did the pitch and putt - what a laugh that was. Having never hit a golf ball before. It did get busy though.

The arcade was fab - Sally was there on watch. Such a lovely lady.

The Farm Club (i think it was called) ie the club house for evening entertainment was really good. Staff there were so welcoming.

The swimming pool was lovely - not cold and although it did get quite busy at times it wasn't too crowded.

The Fun Park was smaller than we thought it would be but still fun for the kids - quite expensive but would be worth spending the extra money on the wristbands. You can never play too much crazy golf!

All in all a really fab holiday had by our family.

Well done Trevornick Team - keep up the good work and your staff are an absolute credit to you. :-)

From the Heritage family - hope to come back and see you soon.

 We are return visitors to this site. We love it. It is about a 25 min walk to a superb surf beach. Onsite facilities are plentiful, clean and well cared-for. Our daughter loves the kids club. If it was next to the beach, it would be perfect! Cannot commend it enough.

Reviewer: Morris2andabit 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed in one of the ready erected Safari Tents. The tent itself was comfortable if a bit basic, but I liked the amount of space we had around the tent, and the bench table outside meant we didn't have to keep dragging chairs in and out.

The site is VERY busy, with something for everyone, although the other pitched tents appeared to be very close together.

The theme park is not as big as expected, and after a day or two can be a little repetative, but there is lots to do off site too.

The beach is a good 10 minute walk down quite a steep slope so if you are not so mobile, you may be better off driving but the beach is lovely, although finding a quiet spot is a little tricky.

The only disappointment was the food from the take out - to be honest, it was diabolical.

Overall it was a lovely holiday, although I have to admit I still prefer my own tent lol.

Reviewer: Hovell69 4 reviews from this member

 This was our second visit to Trevornick, and all I can say is it never fails us. On arrival we checked in and then the guy on the scooter took us to our pitch (none of the looking round and having to turn around because you have missed your pitch), the pitch was a standard pitch with electric and a good size we were on red field which is dog friendly, we like this field as the standard pitches are all around the edges so you only have neighbours either side and not behind or in front which can be the case on some of the premium pitches and non dog field. We have to children aged 11 and 7 and the site caters well for them when we arrived at our pitch they went to explore as they had been the previous year they knew where playground, shop and arcade are, leaving us to set up. We did use the club a few times and they did provide good entertainment but it is not big enough for a site that size and we stuggled to get a seat although saying that there was a lot of empty seats with coats on (sunbed senario), they sell reasonably priced drinks, try the rattler cyder tastes delicious but at 6% can be a bit lethal.

They have a well stocked shop which is reasonably priced with friendly staff, fresh baked bread and pastries every morning (not good for the waist line). The toilet blocks are cleaned regularly and I never found them to be dirty as the cleaners are going in from 6am to 10pm all through the day, my only gripe about them is more hooks are needed as there is only one is some of them. There is a launderette which I used twice. The pool is clean and lifeguard attended and you can also take dogs in the pool area as can in the club and restaurants another plus. We visited fodders restaurant as we had vouchers from booking last year we found the food good but they could do with more choice. We visited the funpark a few times which the kids loved, could do with opening a bit later though. Our pitch was lovely but I have asked for the trees to be cut down as with the overhang you get the sapp of them on your unit (not nice).

The site is well located you can walk to Holywell beach we did one evening but in the day took the car as we have too much stuff to carry, it costs £5 to park. The site is about 5 mins drive from Newquay and you can tour most of Cornwall as it is a central site, we visited St Ives (use the park and ride), Padstow, Mother Ivys Bay, Perranporth but we stayed on site and went to the beach as the weather was kind to us. Another good beach is Polly Joke beach its situated between Holywell Bay and Crantock and its a lovely little cove although it is not lifeguard attende so you need to be more careful. Another must is the Bowgie in situated at near Crantock, amazing view, good food and service. While we were there my 11 year old had surf lessons at Holywell Bay school of surf and she can now surf, which means a trip each year to the Cornish coast, as we purchased a 7ft surf board from Boardmasters which we visited while there.

Reviewer: Millet 31 reviews from this member

 Reading Hovell69 review covers most points I would make on this caravan site.

The only other things to add are:

Fun park is more aimed at children 10 and under, if you have teenagers they will find it 'boring' quoting my 14 year old.

Pitches close to the fishing ponds have an excellent view, but are tight to pitch into. Glad we had very friendly neighbours who helped us push onto the pitch when our motor movers decided to pack in!

These lower pitches could do with a small toilet block as it is a bit of a hike to the shower block, ( especially when emptying for élan point). Phone signal for O2, vodaphone and EE ( all our phones) was very poor.

Rest is covered on other reviews.

Great site! Thanks for a good holiday.

Reviewer: Mark Palmer 9 reviews from this member

 We have just arrived back today (21/08/15) after leaving 1 day early from a 14 day holiday.

We decided to leave because of the levels of noise throughout the park, and especially from our neighbours. Despite numerous complaints to the site staff about noise (which regularly went on until 0230) and litter, nothing seemed to be done to deal with the culprits although the maintenance teams were visiting on a regular basis to tidy up the mess. The staff were extremely helpful and apologetic (it's not their fault that they have a certain clientele!).

Despite there being 3 places to eat on site (4 if you include the takeaway) you could only reserve a table at the main restaurant where I'm afraid to say, the food was substandard (chilli con carne with no meat and raw scampi were only 2 of our troubles) and the cleaning of the tables, cutlery holders, the cutlery and the glasses was poor (previous customers meals over everything). When this was brought to the attention of the staff, they were dismissive and didn't seem to care (I can only assume that they are seasonal staff) until a complaint was made to the manager, who promptly gave the staff a talking to, and gave us discounted meals. Needless to say that we didn't eat there after the second food incident, but instead chose to eat at 2 of the local pubs, whose food was excellent and a lot cheaper.

The shower blocks always appeared to be clean at first glance, but on closer inspection (if you peered into the open rafters) there was evidence of lack of attention to detail.

The washing machines were REALLY expensive (£4 per 25 minute wash) and the machines didn't really seem to clean your clothes, just make them wet! And the dryers were £1 per 10 minutes.

This is certainly NOT a site for those who wish to have a peaceful stay, but is more suited to those who wish to stay on site all day, every day. Needless to say, we will NOT be using this site ever again.

 Just got back from a fantastic two weeks at Trevornick, the weather was brill which is always a plus. The site itself is great, the facilities are fantastic. On arrival we were shown to our pitch by lads on scooters which saves all the hassle of finding it. The swimming pool is life guard attended and clean, and we never had a problem getting in. The shop is well stocked and staff very friendly and its reasonable priced. The showers and family rooms are cleaned regular although a mop would be ideal in each block and family room as it is not possible to clean after each use, and sometimes the floors were a little dirty. The pitches are mostly well sized ours was a good size the only problem was the overhang of the trees although I have since been told I could have asked and they would cut them back must remember for next year. It is in a great location about 20 mins from beach we did walk in the evening for the sunset but wouldn't recommend in hot sun with all beach stuff and two young children. There is a children's playground although I would have liked to see a smaller one near our pitch as the main one was a walk away and we had to accompany the kids. The club was ok and Kerry the children's entertainer was good with the kids and adults. We didn't eat on site so I cant comment on food although kids had a takaway of chips and they were ok. We went to the Treguth inn which is just down the road from Trevornick and that was good home-cooked food, reasonable prices and friendly staff and they also allow dogs. We tried a a couple of other beaches Crantock and Watergate both have life guard patrols.

Reviewer: Syeshazplus2 3 reviews from this member

 We (2 Adults 2 Children) stayed here for 7 nights and found the site as beautiful and well maintained as it was when we last visited (2011).

This is a big family site with groups pitched together that may not suit campers after a quiet site, but is in a prime location for holywell beach. It does have everything you could need with the hire shop and a good stocked, fair priced general shop.

There have been layout improvements with the entertainment complex. The toilet/shower blocks are clean and modern with free showers and family shower rooms at a cost. The pitches are big and we had a problem with ours so customer services sorted it out for us.

The site is not too far from Holywell beach which is enchanting with its sand dunes and caves. There are lifeguards on patrol and surf shops/surf hire and a couple of good pubs and general shops by the beach. We shall return in the future and can highly recommend this site.
