This is a really great site, we stayed for 4 days(that's unusual) the weather wasn't great bit windy, must take wind break next time. The walking over the dunes to the beach is great, no dogs on beach between May and September, there is a nice little café at Godrevy car park with an outside seating area and very reasonable prices and lovely staff.
All the facilities were clean and warm if a bit of a hike from some pitches, but hey you can always use your own, they seem to keep on top of the grass cutting it was always well mown, no worries about drainage the site is built on a sandy base.
The staff were pleasant and helpful and the shop seemed to stock most of your needs.
We caught the little age uk mini bus into Hayle where you can get connections to Penzance and St. Ives, the pub in the village is very dog friendly if a little expensive, but be sure to book at busy times as its very popular.
Our first impression of the site was that it looked quite nice, with well kept grass, nice reception and facilities buildings, however we've never seen so many windbreaks before - there weren't just one or two per pitch, but the whole of the majority of pitches were completely surrounded by them, which I found rather odd. I realise that it is in a windy area, but I felt they were very over the top; in fact I soon came to realise that most were there to enclose peoples' entire pitch, marking their territory, not just a barrier to the elements.
We usually go to adult only sites, but were invited to join the family for this holiday, so we came to this site with some trepidation, expecting rowdy children running and playing around the units. We needn't have worried as thankfully we didn't encounter any problems at all.
The facilities were very good, with lots of showers, sinks and toilets, but they were a little far away for my liking. One previous review says the site is flat, but it isn't, it's on a definite incline. The showers were not very well designed in that it was virtually impossible to keep the changing area dry, and there were no shower curtains to help with this. Indeed, one row of showers has the drain for the shower in the changing area itself. The facilities seemed to be cleaned at regular intervals, however some unsavoury character smeared excrement over the wall of one of the gents' toilets, which wasn't cleaned off for a couple of days.
Most of the pitches seem very large, and despite the awful weather, the ground never got boggy. When we booked in we were given very detailed instructions on where to position our 'van, which we adhered to, however our existing neighbours parked their vehicle within inches of our pitch which meant we couldn't open our windows for fear of them knocking them. Twice more new neighbours came and they too enclosed their pitch within inches of ours, resulting in them having to sidle past our 'van to get in and out of their pitch and being right under our windows when sitting out. Why oh why??? Had we known this was going to happen we would happily have parked further into our pitch as we weren't greedy over our space and didn't have a windbreak. I did ask at reception if they had a 'customer feedback' process and I explained to the owner what I wanted to give feedback on. She did seem a little concerned and even drove around a few minutes later to look at the problem herself - I do hope they do something about this, as it didn't only happen to us.
Some of the site had been terraced over last winter, however they failed to allow for easy access to the water point situated in the middle of the field. We were directly in line, with a 'van between us and the water, however there was no path. One of the gentlemen working there said to walk across the pitch to get water to avoid the long trek around, however windbreaks, a washing line and a vehicle were deliberately positioned so that we couldn't do it (we usually waited for the family to go out and then pop across - not ideal). The owners have realised the oversight and plan to make provision for a path after the site closes.
A nice touch was that different food vans came most evenings during our 10 day stay, so if you don't want to cook or can't bbq due to the weather, you have options.
Just a few yards from the site is a nice pub called the Red River, they do food, but when we tried to book they were full, so book early. There is also a restaurant/pub called the Rockpool either along the road or via a path from the site. The food was quite nice but we thought it a bit overpriced for what it was; also the drinks were VERY expensive - £8 for a large glass of wine!
If you're into water sports then this site fits the bill as it has everything you could need.
We spent just over 2 weeks here for our family holiday in school holidays this summer.
The location is fantastic - out of the way, but not too much; this means that it was quiet (in terms of traffic noise, etc), but not too far from civilisation. The site is right against the dunes, with paths down to the beach, and over to Godrevy - excellent!
Washing/toilet facilities on the site are modern and clean, and can't be faulted. A bit of a long way from some pitches as they are right at the end of the site, but this wasn't a problem - although we did all end up cycling to them most of the time. Provision of outdoor wetsuit showers was a real advantage, and many of the people on the site seemed to be surfers or bodyboarders, and it had a good, chilled vibe. We took surfing lessons from Sunset Surf, which is an easy walk away around the dunes.
Site staff always seemed friendly and helpful, and the shop was well stocked and not unreasonably priced, although Lidl (as the nearest supermarket, on the edge of Hayle a few miles away) was clearly cheaper :-) Price for camping was significantly lower than the site next door.
The only disadvantage for us was the lack of a play park for the children. We took some walkie-talkies for ours, so that we could let them go and play in the dunes, which was worthwhile, but the lack of a play park meant that they didn't make new friends so easily as people came and went - a bigger impact than I had expected on the holiday experience. Our son was lucky as a boy of similar age (7) turned up on a neighbouring pitch, but our daughter (10) didn't make many friends, and spent more time on her own or with her brother than she normally would.
Overall, a great site that just needs a play park for children to be just about perfect.
Absolutely great campsite owners and staff are very friendly, a totally clean site throughout, brilliant showers beach is long and clean and on rainy or dull days there is plenty of areas to walk, nice walk to the right takes you past godrevy lighthouse and onto a nice little cafe, would definitely come again.
Love this campsite. Love to be able to walk to the beach and not use the car. The south west coast path is right on your doorstep too, fantastic walks.
The Godrevy beach cafe, which is nearby, serves lovely healthy food.
The site shower blocks are brilliant. Extremely clean and well cared for.
My only slight niggle would be the lack of hedging/fencing around the pitches meant that you could hear the neighbours talking etc!
Set within four acres of woodland with spectacular countryside views, this site offers the perfect caravanning and camping experience for all ages. Grass or hardstanding pitches with optional electric. Plenty of space for the kids to play football or fly a kite while you sit back and relax. Facilities include toilets, free hot showers, baby washroom, ice pack freezing, dishwashing area, laundry and free WiFi. Secure dog run for four-legged friends, and campfires are allowed.
Shops, takeaway, pubs, post office, and a dispensing surgery are all in the village of St. Stephen. Just a short journey in the car, you are at some of Cornwall's best treasures, including the Eden Project. Four miles from St. Austell and 12 miles from the wide sweeping beaches of the north coast. This family-friendly site is an excellent base for your Cornish break. Find out more here
We spent a wonderful week at Churchtown campsite. We have 3 children aged between 9 and 12 who loved playing on the sand dunes very nearby. We love Cornwall but had not explored this area before. It was only a short drive from The Lizard, Eden Project, Lands End and Flambards theme park. The site itself has great facilities. It has a very well stocked shop which was so convenient particularly for that morning cuppa! The shower and toilet block was kept very clean and the showers were hot. There is Also a laundry room with washers and dryers. There's Also a bathroom for families with very young children the site itself was very flat and only a short walk from a beautiful sandy beach. We will be returning to this site but book early as it gets booked up very early.
This was our 3rd year on the trot at this campsite and once again we had a great time. Facilities on site are fantastic always hot water. I like the fact you don't have to get into your car to go to the beach.
The beach itself is fantastic never over crowded. Loads of room for body boarders and loads of room for surfers.
I have already book for 2 weeks for next year because the family love the campsite so much.
A couple of other things is that every night the ice cream van comes onto the site and every Tuesday and Friday a chip van comes on site as well.
Turned up on a busy Saturday morning. Was given a pitch very close to reception/toilets, not my favourite spot but because they were full were unable to change. We reversed onto pitch and then before we could do anything else the helpful staff had straightened and levelled the caravan. The pitch wasn`t that big but further into the site the pitches got bigger.
The toilets were kept lovely and clean and had plenty of showers and I never had to wait long, if at all for a free shower. The wet suit shower was a great idea, I wish more campsites had them. The shop was quite big and useful for daily essentials and a few gifts.
The position of the site was brilliant. We loved being able to walk down to the beach for body boarding of just a walk in the evening. It can be a bit blowy on the site because of it`s location and we were there when there was strong winds. Our awning survived but some tents didn`t. The owners did put weather warning notices up which I thought was kind of them.
There are some lovely walks from the site and a great place to tour from. It was an easy road to the site too. The only draw back to the site which I didn`t like at first, was in the evenings groups of teenagers hung about the toilet block until quite late at night. I got the feeling they were regular visitors of the site that perhaps come yearly. I did get use to it after a while though. I would go back to the site as long as I could have a pitch in the middle of the site with a bit more room.
Stayed for a week at this site in August in the overflow field. 1 week of pure sunshine compared to our bad week during the Jubilee at another site!
Pitches are of a good size. The field has a slight slope and no hook up but to be honest was not a major issues. Staff very helpful with a good on site shop. Showers/toilets were immaculate with showers set aside to wash down the sand from the beach.
Gwithian beach is fantastic and spent nearly the entire time there. Lifeguarded as well which is a real bonus. Only a 5 min walk across the dunes
We stayed with friends who were pitched on the main site as think we preferred the field as slightly more informal and better spaced.
The site was in a lovely location and the showers, shop and washing up facilities were excellent. There were a few hiccups - mainly that the freezers in the shop never really froze our cooling blocks properly even after being left in there for over 24 hours and were perhaps not large enough to cope with the number of blocks being put in from all the campers. Consequently we were concerned about whether the food we had brought with us remained safe to eat.
Some of the children on the site were extremely noisy and their parents paid no heed to the rules about making noise after 9/10pm and seemed unwilling or unable to control them. They played football constantly around our tent tripping over the guy ropes and shouting at the tops of their voices. They also woke us up at 6. 30 to 7. 00 am on several mornings fighting and quarrelling. We did ask the staff to have a word but I'm not sure if this was done whilst we were there.
Badly behaved children aside the rest of the week was lovely. The weather was great and the facilities were very good. I think the answer is to avoid school holidays in future!'
