 Trevornick would be a lovely site were it not for some of the guests there! This is not their fault, of course, but it would put me off returning.
However, the site has lots of good things to recommend it - spotlessly clean, beautifully kept, helpful, friendly staff, lots of well-maintained facilities, nice location.
The shower and toilet block for Yellow Field, where we were, were kept very clean despite the weather being a bit hit and miss. I only ever had to queue (and only behind 1 person) once for the ladies showers.
My husband had to queue a fair bit for the mens showers (lots of appearance-conscious teenage boys on-site!). If you have small children you can buy a family bathroom key for £5 (plus £5 deposit), my sister did this and never had to queue, plus there was a washroom near the pool with a bath in it. No hairdryers, but you can hire one from the hire shop.
A downside to the showers is that they are not temperature controllable and several days in a row were scalding hot, too hot for my daughter to shower in.
The dishwashing room was next to the showers and was very well-fitted out, lots of sinks and some bins, never had to queue. A slight complaint (which lots of us were muttering about!) was that the taps were push-controlled and only ran for about 10 seconds a piece - takes a long time to even half-fill a sink! I can see that they probably want to save water, but when washing dishes most people tend to save up a sink-full and it seemed a silly way of arranging things.
The laundry room was next to the pool and again, spotless, well fitted and rarely had to queue. £4 for a wash cycle in pound coins in a big machine, dryers were extra. Irons and ironing boards were free, which was a nice touch.
The shop and hire shop were very useful, the staff there were incredibly friendly and helpful. Special mention must be made to the lady who wheeled our hired fridge to our pitch for me - very kind.
We didn't use the bars; the Saddle Club where the entertainment was held looked very small and was always packed. There was entertainment every night, usually bingo followed by a comedian/singer type of act (7th circle of Hell to us, so we avoided it completely).
The Sports Bar above it was quieter when we investigated it, but in the end we were out and about so much we didn't use it - if the weather had been worse we may well have done. Similarly we did not use the advertised kids' club as our daughter was too young at 6 to be left there unaccompanied and, that being the case, we preferred to be together doing our own thing. We ate at the Stables restaurant once on arrival and enjoyed the meal - good service.
The pool was again kept very clean and lifeguards were always present. It wasn't as warm as it might have been and even on sunny days the surrounding decking area seemed rather chilly (and lacking in sunbeds/chairs) although the small jacuzzi was very warm (and packed!).
Pitch size is available from the website and I would advise you check this before you book - we had enough room for our 5m bell tent but had we brought a pup tent or gazebo along we would not have been able to fit it and the car on the EHU pitch. Possibly because we'd gone for EHU we were surrounded by camper vans and I think our experience may have been different (better?) had we been in one of the fields purely for camping.
As others have mentioned, the advertised walk to the beach is not do-able with small children and unfit adults, Holywell Bay is a lovely beach and National Trust parking there is £4 (or free to members). It is a bit of a slog to the beach proper from there, through an icy cold stream at one point! The St Piran's Inn by the car park does marvellous food and keeps a nice pint.
Nearby, Crantock Beach is gorgeous and suitable for swimming between buoys (strong current in the river), most other beaches are surfing ones and full of body-boarders. Watergate Bay was lovely, as were Towan Beach and Porth Beach. Nearby, the Smugglers' Den in Cubert does lovely food (but you either have to book or be prepared for a long wait).
The fun park next to Trevornick is good for smaller children (height restriction of 1. 2m for riding the go-karts and cars, but otherwise everything was open to our 3-6 year old children) and the Beach Diner in there does a surprisingly good cup of coffee!
And as mentioned earlier, the park would have benefited from a little more supervision/security - the playground (which was lovely) was meant for supervised under 12s only - we saw kids roaming around there unaccompanied at all hours, including many who were much older than 12. It's not the site's fault that parents there seemed happy to let their children run riot, but their staff could perhaps have made it clearer to these parents that such behaviour was not to be tolerated. Lots of noise at night too, drunken late night singalongs seemed to be some of our neighbours' holiday activity of choice. We also had a note posted on our car windscreen one morning telling us to 'sort out the ***ing snoring or else' - delightful!
It was our first visit to a 'holiday park' type of site and despite all the positives mentioned, the atmosphere of the place was lacking and it was not relaxing on-site, largely due to the behaviour of a noisy, unpleasant minority - not the site's fault, but I don't think we'll be back.

excellent site, large pitches, very clean. We used the family showers (additional £5) which worked for us with 3 children under 7. Staff very helpful and very positive.
Only niggles the beach walk is not possible with a young family and all their kit. The national trust car park was full by 11 o clock so driving down not an option, we drove to Parren porth which made things a lot easier plus and excellent beach.
The Play area is supposed to be under 12 only with parental supervision, but all too often was over run with older kids.
But over all and excellent site could have done with an indoor pool, but on cloudy days there was always plenty to do.

This is a fantastic site to stay. Pitches are excellent in size. Vary from small to extra large at no extra cost. Click on map and you can see which size pitch you want. Toilet/shower facilities very clean. Site itself is spotless.
Would recommend the fishing, good value for money when hiring and cheap to buy equipment.There is a fun park on site which is a great way to spend a day and again at good value.Next to the funpark is a 18 hole golf course.
The pool area is a lovely place to relax.
The shop is well stocked.
The only down side that we found was that the main entertainment club was very small for the amount of campers that the site holds. On each evening we went, we had to stand around with a lot of other people and try to grab a seat as soon as someone left. Some people had to stand throughout the evening.
Having said that don't be put off as this is a small niggle compared to all the plus points this park has.
We will definitely be going again in the near future.

Stayed here over May Bank Holiday for one week. This was the first time we have stayed here and had a really lovely time.
Pitches are larger than normal, toilets, showers and washing up facilities are very clean, always been cleaned during the day. Outdoor heated pool. Park for kids.
Hollywell Bay funpark right next door. Plenty of fields around site for kids to play. Direct access to beach, only a short walk away.
There is a small shop on site but Morrisons is only a 10 min drive away. Would definitely go back, lovely site.

We have just returned from the bank holiday break and all I can say is what a wonderful site. The pitch sizes were larger than any other campsite we have stayed on. The toilet and shower blocks were clean and were kept clean. The site itself is in a good location, the beach is only a short walk across the golf course and what a stunning beach it is and it is only a short drive away from Newquay and Perranporth both of which also have nice beaches. The little shop on site was well stocked. All in all a really nice site we will definitely be returning.

Fantastic Site, we have been going for years on and off. Starting from when we were quite young kids (I'm 25 now). We keep returning so it really speaks for itself.
Yes some of the pitches are quite small, but on their website there is a section that you can find out the sizes of the individual pitches which is a fantastic help. We made the error of booking then went out and brought a tent twice the size. Oops. However the tent did just fit on width wise with plenty of room at the front of the tent to fit the car on. We have a gelert corvus 6+2 so its a big tent. We are going back this year and have been very choosy with the pitch.
There are plenty of shower/toilet blocks and the shop is excellent. Its surprising what they have in there. Food on site and at the fun park is very good. Fantastic staff.
Security on the park is brilliant. Couple of guys on at night going round and checking everywhere and they are first aid trained as we found out first hand (sister in law tripped over a guide rope ripping her toe nail off. OUCH!)
1 mile from the beach and its a lovely walk as is Walking up to the cliffs.
Everything about this site is great. I couldn't recommend it more!

Not really much to add as I agree with previous reviews, only that we stayed on a superpitch which was roomy and tucked away from the main drag (separated by hedges) but still close enough to the amenities so we had space and didn't hear too much noise.
We were three generations of family and between us we used the golf course, launderette, pool, bar, bistro, shop, amusements, fun park, sports field all of which were great.
Fantastic staff and a very well-maintained and organised site with good facilities and not too far from the beach. I was worried that it would be a little too busy for our liking but we really enjoyed it here and will definitely return.

We stayed on this site for two weeks and enjoyed it that much have already booked for next year as it is a very popular site.
Toilet blocks were excellent as were showers.
Shop excellent well stocked and not over priced
Outdoor pool excellent.
18 hole pitch and put is to die for,it is like playing on a full course.
Fishing lakes are well stocked considering there size.
The best thing about this site it is totally dog friendly apart from the obvious place ie shop and restaurant dogs are welcome anywhere even in the clubhouse.
Site was well run and well maintained and also not noisy after a certain time at all.
There are too many things to mention that you can do/visit all good especially the Cornish pasties

We loved this place, spent 5 days in June here, the weather was fantastic which helped. The club house was good but very cold, but then again it was June. We had a pitch with everything on it and right across from the toilets and showers that were fantastic, big and clean.
Went to Perranporth and Newquay for a day here and there and had some lovely days out. Beaches at Perranporth and Newquay are well worth looking at they are beautiful.
Took a walk down the dunes to Holywell Bay but would suggest next time taking the car and parking at the pub down the bottom of the road and coming back by car, can be a very tough walk.
A very dog friendly site even in the bars, which I thought was nice and if you go to the Beach Bar you can sit outside and watch the sun go down over Holywell Bay and see some breath taking views.

Just returned from a wonderful week here, even though the weather was a bit mixed.
I go camping on my own with my two children so I'm very choosy where I go, Trevornick was fantastic.
The children loved it, couldn't get my 7 yr old daughter out of the pool, even when it rained! And my 13 yr old son liked meeting friends in 'The Hub' then off to the amusements.
It was great to have the fun park. I paid 40pounds over the phone a couple of months prior to my holiday for two lots of fun park tickets which gave me 56 pounds worth of tokens. This suited me as it would have been a chunk out of my holiday spending money. So we had plenty of tokens to use which we did when the weather wasn't so good. My two loved the rides; the blaster boats, go karts and thunder racing were the favourites.
Holywell Bay beach is fantastic. It's quite a walk so we took the car as we had body boards etc to carry and was only 4pound to park for the day.
The children loved the large sand dunes you can slide down on a fun board that you can hire on the beach for 4pound a day, can also hire wind breakers etc and buy drinks and snacks.
My eldest had a great time body boarding in the sea which was very well monitored/organised by our wonderful RNLI Lifeguards who kept a constant watch. (Please donate)
Then when the tide started to come in it created a small tidal inlet with perfect size waves for my daughter to body board.
The hire shop was a 'God Send' and very reasonably priced. I have a small car so it was great to be able to hire an electric cooler box and a clothes airer. Also my heater died so hired one. And I forgot my hairdryer so they came to the rescue again :-)
Def recommend a day out to Land's End. It's an hours' drive. We paid 20pound for a family of 3 ticket which got us into all the attractions. If you like Dr Who the exhibition was brilliant. 4D cinema film was fun and the air sea rescue. There's a play area, farm and exhibition of the people who do the Land's End to John O Groats trek, gift shops, cafe etc. Beautiful scenic walks around the headland, wished we'd taken a picnic. We got there at lunchtime but wished we'd got there earlier as there is so much to do.
My daughter went to the kids club on a couple of mornings and enjoyed herself.
The only down point is that the showers were a bit mucky as high season and peeps going to the beach. Next time I'll pay the 5pound to use the family bathroom for the week.
Staff were very friendly and were happy to let me take a bit longer to pack up as there was no one booked onto my pitch straight after me. They also gave me good printed directions to Morrisons the nearest supermarket which is bout 10 min drive.
We had a great time and will def go back next year for a week.
