Reviewer: Aust.tourists 69 reviews from this member

 The site is on the top of the cliff overlooking the sea. Most of the pitches have seaviews and it is really beautiful. It is a bit windy though.

The wardens were very friendly and we were able to chose our site. They sell a few basic items and have fresh scones and clotted cream for sale also. There is an information room with details of local attractions.

The toilet and shower block was very clean and lots of hot water. The caravan park is in between Tintagal and Boscastle. You can walk along the coast path to both and each takes around 1hour 15 minutes.

There are a lot of ups and downs but it is really worth the effort as the scenery is spectacular. It is a pity that there is no pub within walking distance.

We did use a local taxi driver one night to go into Tintagal. It was 7 pounds each way which is a bit expensive but glad we did it.

We ate at The King Arthur's Arms and the food was quite nice. Both Tintageal and Boscastle are quite pretty places. There was no internet coverage with 3 network but the Caravan Club wifi was available.

Phone reception with 3 and 02 were OK and satalitte TV was OK.

 This is a fabulous site with a very warm welcome. First to be highly commended is the late night arrivals area: it's the first time that we've been offered electric hook up facilities - very welcome after a 5 hour drive.

The views are breathtaking. I could waffle on for hours about the views but I won't - they have to be seen to be believed. The pitch sizes are generous. The main toilet and shower block is immaculate, warm and with consistently hot water. Water, waste water, chemical disposal and bin areas are well located. The shop stocks most essentials and the local farm eggs were gorgeous so don't take supermarket eggs with you, buy on arrival!

The local area offers a few good places to visit by car - Boscastle, Tintagel, with Port Issac and Padstow about half an hour's drive away. Camelford has the most amazing Fish and Chip shop that has won national awards (about 8 miles away, no facilities to eat in so we ate ours in the car). I think there is enough to do locally for about a week's stay - or just stay on site and admire the views. Lovely play area for children but it would be a good 5-10 miles drive every day to find them a local beach.

Only note of caution is how exposed the site is (well it is on a cliff!): we would advise planning your trip without an awning as we spent a sleepless night pegging our awning down several times, despite using the obligatory storm strap!

The coastal walks from the site to either Tintagel or Boscastle are glorious - a bit of a hike in places but well worth it. It took us much longer than we first thought mainly because of the many stops we made along the way to drink in the stunning scenery and wildlife. Good walking footwear is a must.

 What an amazing looking site with exquisite views of the north Cornwall coastline. I must say on the one hand its amazing but on the other hand when its windy it blows an absolute gale, there is no protection from the howling winds. I must say we were rather fortunate that the weather although not the best was relativity calm.

As for the facilities WOW they are amazing they are top of the range with several showers and toilets all kept exceptionally clean. The whole site I must say was kept beautifully kept with the grassed areas being mowed most days.

On our arrival we were shown to our massive pitch which was big enough for our 36ft (10m) American RV with room for our smart car and trailer down the side still with ample room. After we had parked our RV on the pitch and set most things up I got my hose pipe out as I always do at other sites to fill up with water.

My hose pipe was not long enough so I asked the site warden if they could lend me a longer hose. We were told by the warden in a loud voice that you are now allowed to use a hose pipe due to a health and safety issue and will have to drive up to the motorhome point each time you need water, and told if you don't like it to leave now! We tried to talk to him and also asked him to lower his voice as we were not raising our voice in fact we only asked to borrow a hose pipe. The question we put to him that our RV is a huge vehicle which is left hand drive, and to move this vehicle several times a week must surely be more of a hazard than a bright yellow hose pipe along the ground attended at both ends by us. All in all unless the warden changes we will not return to this site

 What an absolutely fabulous site!

We've just spent a number of glorious days at Trewethett and really can't find a single fault. The pitches are extremely generous, the toilet/shower facilities are fantastic, well stocked little shop (fab ice cream) and views to die for. I could have spent all day just looking at the view. There is direct access to the South West Coast Path from which you can walk to either Boscastle or Tintagel easily whilst admiring the Atlantic splendour.

We don't have small children but there was a nice little play area on site too which seemed to be much enjoyed. I really do highly recommend this site - the best we have visited thus far! We will be back - in fact, we have rebooked for September.

Reviewer: Annhart 8 reviews from this member

 Had a fantastic week here. Wonderful views, just didn't get tired of looking out to sea, it changed every day. Facilities were perfect for us as we were very close to them. Clean, tidy first class shower block and laundry.

A small shop for emergencies. Brilliant walks. Boscastle is a must, very pretty and un-spoilt. You get a sea view from almost every pitch. Plenty of space for awning, although we took ours down because of a Force 10 gale.

Would recommend this site, but you must book early as it gets very full in the summer months. A perfect base for exploring North Cornwall, Port Issac, Tintagel, Padstow, Boscastle and beyond.

Tregarton Park, Mevagissey

With sea and countryside views, Tregarton Park is ideal for couples or families with younger children, given its relaxed seclusion and proximity to so many of Cornwall's fine safe sandy beaches.

Superb toilet and shower block with large glass shower cubicles operated by motion sensors with ceiling mounted shower heads, laundry room, baby changing station.

This peaceful park is home to an outdoor heated swimming pool with waiter service, tennis court, adventure playground, outdoor football table, table tennis, pool table, large shop and take away service. FREE WiFi, dog walking meadow. Pentewan Beach is just five minutes away! Find out more here

 This was our second visit to this site. A beautiful site overlooking the sea. Every site had a lovely sea view. Can be a bit exposed if it is windy. Toilet block was spotless and was heated. It had the excellent standard that you can expect from a Caravan Club site. Lots of walking on cliff paths, and plenty of places to visit. Lovely village of Boscastle close to site, as well as Tintagel, although that is a bit touristy, but good for children with its witches and King Arthur theme.

Wardens were very pleasant and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay and would go there again.

 As other have said before - a jewel of a site. The views from nearly every pitch are breath taking over the Atlantic. The showers / toilets absolutely normal Caravan club high standards.

The site is high on the hill outside Tintagel - a couple of miles drive away. We drove down direct from Boscastle on the B road - no problems with that route.

Only one slight negative - why do we always feel we are being told off for not pre-booking on Caravan Club sites? They had pitches free so surely it shouldn't matter?

Reviewer: Mini Moo 3 reviews from this member

 This really has got to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ of The Caravan Club. The site is set on a cliff top and views are simply heavenly. You’ll need to book well in advance to get in at busy times as pitches over the summer can be like hen’s teeth! But boy is it worth it.

Under no circumstances follow sat nav on apprroach - follow the directions in the CC handbook or you’ll end up on single track roads with hairpin bends!

When you arrive, you’ll be issued with a site plan and sent off to choose your pitch (over your stay, you’ll see hundreds of couples marching around at about 12ish with their bits of paper – usually with the wife in the lead ;-) ). The best pitches - ie The front row pitched usually go first but you can always move onto one once one becomes free – they don’t mind at all.

The facilities are spotless and really first class and even the overflow showerblock & toilets (in portacabins) are really good.

Locally, there’s tons to do – Tintagel’s a bit ‘touristy’ but there is a good fish and chip shop there (although everything’s cooked to order so expect a wait), a couple of mini-markets and May’s the Butchers on the High Street do THE best sausages ever (they have won national awards for them). Best local eatery by miles is The Napoleon in Boscastle (it’s not in the centre of Boscastle but at the top – very convenient for the site as it’s only about a 5 min drive away – just before you turn left for the hill down to the town) and you’re list a short drive from the fab beach at Trebarwith Strand and about half an hour from Port Isaac and Padstow.

We’ve been there 3 times this year already and are planning a 4th trip in October (all the way from North Wales) – that’s how good this place is!

Reviewer: Kinza123 32 reviews from this member

 Arrived in showers and wind and told to walk round site to find a pitch - good advice.

We chose a hard standing pitch on the the very edge, nothing between us and the Atlantic!

The view is outstanding, the sunset was unbelievable. Many people changed pitches to move to the front to get the views, the wardens don't mind if you change, and also advise you can pitch front in or backwards.

The permanent toilet block is a very high standard, but the top field is serviced by a portable block, which did seem to get dirty and was quite cramped.

There is no Virgin/T-mobile signal, and while we were there the engineer arrived to install the new wi-fi system.

The winds are harsh, we were impressed with our porch awning which held up fine to everything the weather threw at it, but storm straps are a must, and the winds can change within minutes.

Don't use sat nav, the CC instructions are spot on, some of the roads are very steep and twisty, so take care.

Tintagel village is lovely, no big supermarkets, but a Spar and Co-op. Massive pasties, and Tintagel Castle well worth a visit. Free wi fi in King Arthurs Arms, and decent food with great ale.

You can walk to Bossiney cove at low tide. It's a tough walk and the last bit is a half shimmy down a cliff face holding onto a rope, but fab when you get there, about 30 minutes walk with a 10 year old.

A bit confused as we thought all arrivals had to be after 12 noon, and outfits arrived all times of the morning, maybe CC need to clarify this?

Highly recommended site, may be a little remote but with those views and atmosphere I could forgive almost anything!

4. Very friendly wardens, who are always out maintaining the high standard

5.Small but well stocked shop on site

6. Beautiful coastal walks (2 1/2 miles to Boscastle and Tintagel, with lots of pubs, cafe's and shops )

7. Good value for money

8. There is also a nice play park on site.
