We had the BH week there - 26 May to 2 June. We were on the pond field - pitch 32.
We arrived at 10am and were allowed straight onto the pitch.
To be honest we had a pretty miserable week weather wise - Sunday night in particular was a nightmare. The rain started mid day and the wind got up and blew a gale the whole night long and into the BH Monday. The wife and I didn't get any sleep at all due to the noise. The Cabanon stood up to it well - the stony gound having helped hold onto the pegs so there was no damage the following morning, unlike some other campers - there were some stories of tents and awnings coming down, and I heard there were problems in the euro tents.
We used a breathable GS which was fine apart from on the Thursday - we'd just had so much rain by then that it was coming through in places so we just put down our PVC GS instead and all was well. In general the ground seemed to cope well with the rain - probably helped by the fact that it had been dry for weeks before we got there  .
On the pond field I think the mix of tents to vans was about 10:90% so we were definately in the minority. Some of the tent pitches over in the main camping area didn't look too flat, but we were fine where we were - the field was terraced.
Had some noise problems in the late evening from the usual teenager crowd, but nothing worse than we have experienced elsewhere.
The staff were very friendly. They have a new "restaurant" that is new for this year. We ate there once - OK but nothing special. 34 quid for 4 drinks and 4 main meals. Service was pretty prompt, but it wasn't busy. The take away was open long hours, as was the shop which was excellent.
The pool was warm enough - even on cold days. Changing room was OK but a little dark.
EHU was rated at 16A and the TV outlet had freeview channels on it.
Overall - I would say Trevornick was much better than Holywell Bay across the road, apart from it was a long walk to the beach, esp on the way back. Sadly the weather was so bad that it has seriously made us consider if camping in this country is worth the aggro, given the before and after preparation, unpacking etc. I think next time we'll take a static caravan so even if we have bad weather we can feel abit more isolated from it. The sound of listening to the rain and wind battering the side of my tent is going to take some time to forget.
Cheers - Kev
