 We stayed on Pond Field very close to the Golf Club, we did have one or two noisy nights with some drunken teenagers but we think the site security sorted it fairly quickly as it didn't carry on for long. Our pitch was on level ground, and having walked round the site to look at other pitches for this year, pond field is all on a level. Pitches 16-21 and 22-33 seemed a bit on top of one another, but that could be the way people had pitched up. Think Hayfield & Cornfield are more out of the way and sloping.
The toilet/shower block close to this field was reasonably clean but the showers were extremely hot, almost scolding. It wasn't until the last night, when we were wandering about we found the family bathrooms and we will certainly try different shower blocks if the showers are still too hot on Pond Field.
We werent too interested in the club facilities so didn't try it out. Had a lunch in the cafe (forget the name of it), but apparently the main snack bar was closed due to staff shortages. Only had a jacket potato but it was well presented and reasonably priced. The takeaway was just closing when we went one evening and didn't have much left so cannot really comment on that one. They do give you a beeper so that you can go back when your food is ready for collection. Site shop was a bit pricey. We shopped at Morrisons on the first day of being there, and boy it was packed solid, you couldn't move in the car park or the shop itself. We got the essentials and left as quickly as we could. Best to shop somewhere else, think there is a Somerfield in Newquay.
Lovely beach within walking distance, across the golf course then through the large sand dunes. Some children were using trays to tabbogan down them. You can drive down to the beach and there is, apparently, a snack bar there. We are going again this year, but have booked a pitch a bit further away from the club house. Did a spot of fishing in the small waterholes (can't really call them lakes) but caught nothing. The Holywell Bay park is nice for the kids, and they don't need to leave the campsite or cross any roads. We did enjoy our stay, that's why we are going again. Trevornick is so close to some really gorgeous beaches, Perranporth has some brilliant rock pools but don't get caught by the tide coming in. Staff at Trevornick are very friendly.
If planning to do a bit of belly boarding/surfing, would advice you buy a wet suit. They are not that expensive (around £25 upwards). The surf can be pretty fierce, some of the children in our party spent a fair amount of time in the water at Perranporth and came back with bad grazes on their arms that weren't covered by their wetsuit.
Hope this helps you to have a good stay if you choose to camp here.

We stayed at Trevornick for one week in August and given the terrible weather we had in June/July, we were pleased that the sun shone every day for us.
This is a huge site and we were on Hayfield which is about as far away from all the amenities as you can get. We didn't try the take-away or the restaurant so can't comment on the food. The shop stocks almost everything you might need but it's pricey - there is a Morrison's about ten mins drive away though.
Our daughter loved the kids club and there was entertainment provided for kids every morning and night, you need to get to the club early in the evening to get a seat though. The swimming pool was lovely, very clean and well managed. The only negatives we had is the state of the toilets (we used the ones near the pool and the ones near Hayfield), they smelt awful and there was toilet paper all over the floor, we didn't use the showers for this reason so can't comment on them. The only other problem we had was that the pitch was sloping and needed chocks which we didn't had but we were able to buy some in the shop. The area is lovely and there are numerous lovely beaches within a short drive. The best ones we found were at Crantock and Perranporth.

Spent 5 days at this site and it was wonderful. Great site would recommend to anyone. Just a long way from home but worth it. My husbands first time camping and now he says all he wants to do is camp. Lovely hot showers which were cleaned well and daily. Lots to do and kids very happy and were kept occupied. The food in the cafe was excellent and stopped me from cooking. Wonderful holiday and fantastic spot in Cornwall.

Hi what a great place, stayed on pitch 440 corn field over looking rest of site also you get the sea view. The pitches are quite big easy get 17ft caravan, awning, car & 4 wind breakers on pitch. Considering there's over 800 pitches its usually quiet at night after 9.30pm. Great outdoor pool, 3 bars, shop & a good park for all ages.
At the other side of caravan site is Holywell Bay fun park, its tokens for the the rides but if you buy them reception you get 25 tokens for £20.
Great place we'll go again.

Went to this site with my girlfriend for a week in August in a tent. Didn't know what to expect weather wise as July was terrible but was very nice when we arrived and when putting up the tent. Staff are very welcoming and you are shown to your pitch by a person on a scooter! Our pitch was large enough for a tent and car easily but was slightly sloping which was sometimes a nuisance e.G. Cooking and sleeping. It was close by all the facilities such as the swimming pool, shop, water point, pot washing and toilets.
The toilet blocks are large but sometimes looked and smelt liked they needed cleaning more often. The showers are below average as you have to pay 20p for a first and get about 4 minutes of semi warm water. Also the boxes to put the 20p in are on the outside of the cubicle so if you need to put another 20p in you have to go outside!The club is good as the drinks are well priced and the entertainment varies each night.
There is a restaurant and take-away also on the site. The swimming pool is large but there is not enough sunbeds for the size of the site and people were doing the classic German abroad! There is plenty to do in the area with Newquay just 5 minutes down the road and places like Padstow just along the coast. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Trevornick and would possibly go back again in the future!

Having just returned and read the previous reviewer all I can say is what a difference a month makes.
The park was heaving with no pitches left on our first week. If you wanted to shower/wash at peak times then you would need to queue. On our first week the toilet facilities were fairly disgusting but for some reason this changed in the second week. Only managed to catch the entertainment once as the club was packed like a tin of sardines the other nights, the average wait in the shop in the morning would be about 20mins and I won't even go into the take away!
The standard pitches are huge, our diablo fitted with room to spare BUT be warned about 75-80% of the pitches are sloped, enough for you to feel like you were rolling out of bed.
The kids facilities seemed good but for older kids there wasn't much to do at night apart from hang around the amusements, which had very few games but lots of slot machines!
I would have to say that Trevornick wouldn't be my first choice but there were plenty of families booking up for next year before leaving.

We stayed in Sun Field, where the views out to Holywell Bay are outstanding and the sunsets, breathtaking.
Sun Field consists of a large number of very gently sloping pitches without any services.
Some of the pitches are just the right size for a large family tent and some huge, so when you are escorted from reception to the field by one of the many scooter guys, it really does pay to have a couple of drives round the field to pick the biggest and flattest. There were only two problems I had with with Sun Field.
Number one, it can be a long walk to the toilet, shower and pot washing facilities, shared with Hay Field, especially if you pitch at the top of the field.
Number two, boiling a kettle without a wind guard around your stove can take some time, due to the elevated position of Sun Field. We stayed for weeks two and three of the school holidays and although the site as a whole was busy, Sun Field never became overcrowded. In fact, for the first week we had no close neighbours and were able to use the surrounding pitches for games of cricket.
I never had to queue for the showers no matter what time I used them. A word of warning though, the newer showers are to the back of the block, in a new extension built to accommodate the family bathrooms. These seem to be hotter than the older ones, too hot for my children at times.
There were queues though for the ladies showers, but this was due to three showers in the same block being out of action. The one time we used the family bathroom, we did have to queue.
The bathrooms take 50p coins and seem to be timed rather than metered, so part filling a bath and then getting clean water later to wash the kids hair was not an option without inserting another coin. The floors of the bathrooms get very wet and there is nowhere to put towels and dry clothes, even the toilet seats are not present, so arrangements should be made to store dry stuff before you go in, bin bags maybe.
The walk from Sun Field to the center of activity is a longish one. The center of activity being a shop, take away, restaurant, slots, bars, children’s indoor play area, hire shop and swimming pool. The shop was well stocked with the essentials including some camping stuff, wetsuits and cold beer (twice the price of the local Morrisons, but cold).
Fresh bread and croissants in the morning. The take away was more-or-less a glorified chip shop selling things like fish and chips, curries, burgers and microwave kebabs. The food was ok and quite welcome when you realize that every decent food outlet for miles closes at 9pm. The restaurant is on a bit of an ego trip in calling it self a restaurant and is serviced by the same kitchen as the take away. The food could be described as reasonable pub grub. (try St Pirans Inn down in Holywell Bay for really good food).
The slots were always full of children and teenagers with a few machines out of action when we were there. Still manage to part me from my cash when I took the kids in though.
The bars were “The Farm Club” and early evening was children’s entertainment with games organised by a very good team. 9pm to 9.15pm was sale of bingo tickets, bingo kicking off at 9.30, children at the front being quiet drawing.
Seats in the bar were hard to come by unless you got there early or happened to be stood next to a table full of people who had only come in the play bingo, when they left.
There is a bar upstairs too, which ran a quiz after the bingo finished, but we never used it. We went into the children’s indoor play area once but didn’t use it because there was an additional charge for each child outside of the site kids club times.
The hire shop stocked just about everything you could think of from frozen ice blocks to windbreaks, 240v fridges to TV’s and surfboards to children’s bikes. The swimming pool is very good and well used. Opening and closing time vary due to use by the site kids club and other activities, but the times are always displayed on the pool area gates in advance.
All-in-all we enjoyed our time at Trevornick and will go again. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, the site is well maintained in general and is very tidy. The only downside for us, if you can call it that, is that we felt we didn’t get to use the facilities as much as we’d have like to, but that was due to the fantastic weather we had while we were there.
The last full day we were there we tried the Sports Bar at the adjoining golf club for drinks and an evening meal. I really wish we’d found that place earlier. Sitting outdoors under heated canopies, drinking a cold beer, watching the sun sink into the Atlantic takes some beating.

Travelled to Cornwall on the night of the Gloucester floods and spent a very uncomfortable night on the M5 motorway, not the best start to a holiday. We finally got on our way just after 6:00am Saturday morning and reached our destination 23 hours 45 minutes after leaving Sheffield! The pitch we were allocated was reasonably level, compared to some of the tent pitches which were on a definite slope although as mentioned in previous reviews perhaps this is an advantage as when it does rain which it did the water runs away. At the end of the day you cannot hold the campsite responsible for the weather so onto a review of the site.
The showers and toilets were clean although not the best I've been in and considering the showers are charged a 20p a time a bit of a rip off I think, there was also nowhere to hang your clothes. Campsites that want to make an additional charge for such facilities should ensure they are something special and they weren't.
The club house was okay but I don't think it was really big enough for the size of the site and it was very noisy, the reps were doing their best to entertain the little ones though with the party dances. The bingo paid out decent money and we had a win, which is always welcome. There are several overflow areas including an upstairs bar with a pool table if you want to escape the noise. I noticed several dogs in the main clubhouse which is a bit unusual but a nice change for dog owners I'm sure as they are often excluded.
We took my son and his friend both 13 years old and they went in the pool several times which was nice and warm. The fun park also went down well and you get a free go on the crazy golf included with your booking. The kids really liked this site as it was not too large and they made friends with other kids their own age. The walk to the beach was an experience it looks flat on the brochure but its up hill and down dale over big sand dunes , nice beach though. You can drive and park in the pub at a cost of £3.00.
The sites about 5 miles away from Newquay and as with most sites like this you're a bit marooned.

This is a very pretty campsite with flower beds everywhere. That is about as much as I really liked. Our camping pitch was rammed on top of the next one. The pitches were like a chess board so close we could hear everything the campers in the next tent were saying.
The toilet/showers and washing up area were okay.
My other gripe is the evening entertainment. If we didn't go the the bingo session (we don't like bingo) then we could never get a seat. We were in the 'adults only' bar where the entertainment was definitely aimed at adults and not suitable for children and yet there were children everywhere. Most were lying flat out across seats fast asleep another reason why we could never get a seat.
Although the playground is aimed at under 12, our son was 14 at the time and this is where all the children tended to hang out. Maybe a play area for over 12's could be erected.
Although you can walk to the nearby Holywell beach it became a bit of a trek when you are loaded down with all your beach stuff. It was a very fine shingle beach and as we love sandy beaches, we always drove to Perranporth (nightmare to park unless you get there before 10. 30am) or Porth the other side of Newquay or one of the other many beaches around the area.
For the reason that the pitches were so close together and that the entertainment area's were not big enough for the amount of people on the site I would not holiday at this site again.

A fantastic site especially for those with pre-school children (but couples don't be put off!)
Well landscaped and laid out, plenty of toilet blocks, rubbish disposal and all really clean and pretty.
The pitches are mainly flat and you can pay more for extra wind protection or hookup.
This site has great facilities but is not so large that it feels really hectic and all the staff are really friendly.
The facilities were always spotless, loads of toilets, showers never crowded (though you have to pay 20p for hot water!), swimming pool very warm and jacuzzi was even warmer (although you had to fight your way in past the boys). There is a lovely shallow toddler pool. The cafe/shop/pub/takeaway are all well kept and reasonable, nice to see fresh fruit and juices and bakery items on sale too. There is a launderette and 2 family rooms with baths, but these always had queue of babies and mummies waiting in the evening.
Path down Holywell Bay beach takes about 20 mins with young kids but is big hill on return journey, or drive and park in NT car park (free to NT members)
There is a kids club in the morning, you have to stay with your child if under 7 yrs old. We didn't want to be tied to the site every day as like to roam around, but went on a couple of days as the morning activities tie in with children's entertainment from 7 - 9pm in the pub. They have talent competitions, make costumes, disco dance, have the swimming pool to themselves one morning just for the kids club. They also have guest appearances from local fun parks characters and farm animals.Our shy 4 year old really loved it and Vicki and her team are very good with the kids. You don't feel that you have to participate in everything but there is a lot on offer if you want it.
We loved it despite gale force winds, a month of rain overnight and a leaky tent!
Check out the Trevilley farm shop opposite Morrisons on outskirts of Newquay, they do some amazing baking and own meat and very reasonable.
