    Hi Helen Aaron,

    No doubt in your role of commenting on UK sites you will be eager to offer a more 'realistic' response on the 'Broadway' thread?

    To Original Poster.... for sites in the SW I would look seriously at some of the commercial sites. They tend to be in better locations than the sparsely spread CC sites and will invariably be far cheaper (especially with this years's significant price increases).

    Have a look at Pentewan Sands for a site right on the beach......although most of the best pitches will be gone by now.

    I know Portreath well, Spriddler but I don't know the Sun Valley site other than to drive past it, I'm afraid.

    When I happened to be in that area I drove around inside Sun Valley, oooh ten years ago just to be nosey. It was regimented and orderly but beautifully maintained with the old manor house a bar and entertainment facility.

    I've been a CL/pub site motorhomer, unaccompanied by children for 20 years or more so not my scene at all now.

    My sister's in a residential home at Portreath so I park 'wild' on the grassy cliff top parking area accessed up the steep hill behind the harbourside flats. (Don't all rush).

    Lighthouse Hill I expect. There are several good sites in the area as well.

    My only advice is to book as soon as you can once you find a site (any site) that you like the look of.  If not then I'm afraid you'll have left it too late.

    We used to camp in Cornwall, but after several holidays with very bad weather, and the difficulty of finding pitches on the sites we wanted, we stopped trying!

     If the questioner is still listening,  can I quietly suggest that for a family with young children Trewan Hall at St Columb Major takes some beating - 36 acres of woodland, gardens and fields for them to play and explore, a swimming pool which is covered or open according to the weather, an indoor games room, maybe a magician or a juggler or some music in an evening, a shop on site, free wi fi of course, and just a ten minute drive to the sea.

    If only this Club could or would run sites like that.
