Arriving At Trewethett Farm Caravan And Motorhome Club Site

[@suzannewch7202]

This video just popped up on my suggested home page. You have taken me down memory lane! First time I was at Trewethett Farm was in 1968 with my parents! We returned year after year! (Driving from Switzerland!) Back then, the same families returned every summer. The road to the farm was gravel with lots of huge pot holes! I loved it! It was 95% tent campers, as caravan owners didn’t want to tackle the gravel! Us kids would go down to Rocky Valley without any parents in site! We became very good friends with the original owners…….such wonderful memories! Thank you!

[@jackieswales8725]

Absolutely beautiful campsites as ever like this.

[@Mike99Nine]

What a lovely site thanks for sharing your experience.

[@renault4mad]

We were in that top field in October...it was so windy and thought the van was going to go over🤣 we moved to a lower pitch 1st thing in the morning next to coastpath. Great walk up Rocky valley below the site....

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, I can imagine how windy it could get there!

[@mpaws]

Gorgeous views. Loved the pictures of little Poppy. She looks beautiful with the stunning scenery behind her.

[@WilliamRees-vz9di]

Thank you! Your video was perfect for us we could follow the route easily and see any issues we’d encounter. We arrived safely today 28/08/24 following your journey. Much appreciated.

[@chrispate4512]

Thanks for the vid, brought back fond memories of a couple of weeks there in summer 2020. A truly wonderful location but can be mega windy. A few awnings were lost while we were there! We made the mistake of following the sat nav on the way in, ie via Boscastle with a twin axle and long tow vehicle! Access is best via Tintagel A39-B3314-B3263. I have some epic sunset photos from the pitch! hope that helps

No it wasn't especially cold, sunny, windy and sometimes rainy.

[@gordonsinclair9947]

One of C&MC's most popular sites and gets booked up, in normal times. We have - sadly distant - memories of nervously estimating our 'Pucker Factor' negotiating our 8 metre Hobby 750 and 4 metres of Smart car on trailer along those Cornish lanes! In addition to Boscastle there is also Port Isaac, where you might just find yourself in the middle of a Doc Martin series shoot.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We went to Port Isaac and Boscastle, there will be videos to follow.

Hi Bob & Jenny, another great video. As I was watching you choose your pitch I thought it would be quite amusing if you got the one we left last Monday. Missed it by one; we were on 76. Fabulous site, I don’t think there is a single pitch without a stunning view. We did get battered by some very strong winds during our stay. Stay safe.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you

Lovely site bob, Bit concerned about your squeaky brakes,ive noticed them on a few of your vides

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Don't be, they only do it when warm, my previous motorhome also did that, probably needs a bit of brake servicing, lack of use. It's still only done 7700 miles, so it's not wear.

Just booked for September and to be honest was a tad concerned about the approach roads to the site, but pleased to say you’ve put my mind at ease, but will probably be watching the upload a few times more prior to departure……!😂

It was fine as long as you avoid Boscastle!

[@katienorthenmore1892]

hello, thank you for the video , giving good information and showing the drive up to the site was useful, good also to see the site map of the pitches, were you able to book ahead for a pitch? thank you for sharing this, its really handy for when we are trying to plan ours trips.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We booked ahead for the site, but you can't choose the pitch ahead of time, only on arrival.

[@jackirichards8789]

Stunning views, love Cornwall, but quite buttock clenching in parts!

[@simoncowls6271]

Hi Bob & Jenny, another great video. Question for you... As locals (Cornwall) we think that the roads are particularly challenging for motorhomes, (narrow and winding) indeed as MH owners we often comment that roads in most of the places we have visited outside of Devon and Cornwall are ‘a dream compared’. Even the highlands was less stressful. As a ‘well travelled campaigner’ what’s your verdict? Not meant to be derogatory but would be interested to know how we compare?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I've driven far more in the Highlands than Cornwall, but I think the smaller roads in Cornwall are more challenging, especially with tall hedges.

[@katienorthenmore1892]

Yes feel exactly the same and agree about the rds. We are from Devon and have the same problem. Especially the B rds.

[@snowyowl539]

Looks a fantastic site . I always have the map out on my knee . You never know when Mrs Sat Nav will make a mistake .

The best view you'll have in a motor home is 3 cliffs bay in the Gower south wales a lovely site so much better than this if you haven't been you need to

[@rodhepburn6177]

did you take your kite bit windy but cracker of asite

[@robertroy7798]

What’s the reason behind marking the pitch. Why not just drive straight on and pitch up ?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Fire regulations, so that units keep a minimum 6 metres apart and if one motorhome or caravan were to catch fire it couldn't spread easily to the neighbour.

[@robertroy7798]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo so how does a off-cut piece of drain pipe solve that

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

OK maybe you are asking about the drain pipe marking. It's so there aren't lots of units driving around looking for a pitch, space is quite tight on this site.

[@robertroy7798]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo I’ve think you think I mean why have actual pitches I understand the concept behind the pitches but I mean marking the pitch you want with a pipe. Why not just sign in and pitch up on a available pitch. Hope that makes sense.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

You do that on most caravan club sites, drive around and pitch up, then let the reception know which pitch you have chosen. This site want you to walk around rather than drive around, and mark your chosen pitch with the drain pipe. Many of the areas on site have limited turning space. The drain pipe stops people also choosing the same pitch while you let reception know which one you've chosen.

Hi Bob & Jenny, keep meaning to ask - is that a special anti-glare mat on the dash you use to reduce the glare when you're using the camera?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's photographic cloth and helps to reduce reflections on the windscree when filming.

There is a lot off effort that must go into producing these vlogs. If you cannot appreciate this then maybe you should watch other stuff instead.

[@darrenjones3681]

I was so disappointed by this site really marked my experience of otherwise great club sites, the dog field is pitiful, I booked a electric pitch with awning (hard standing) I even rang to say I had a traffic delay on arrival, I ended up right at the top of the site to spend a very unnerving stay on the scary steep grass sloping field with two othe rows of units behind, the staff attitude was electric if you can reach a bollard if there is a spare outlet. The pitches were so steep at the highest ramp point we’re still on a five degree slope. It made getter in and out of the van very tricky as the step up became huge, also booked hard standing with awning for dog shade if needed, would be important to use one on that slope, wardens were not bothered and take it or leave it attitude, I repeatedly requested to change to an available pitch as some did become vacant, only to be occupied at high speed by another van (high speed being their approach to the site) is this some secret back handler booking system one wonders

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We just enjoyed the views, but the cliff side pitches were so popular, it's difficult if someone just takes the pitch and then informs the office. Glad we didn't go up to the grass pitches then.

[@darrenjones3681]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo thing is Bob after seeing a runaway caravan cause mayhem at a Dorset club site a week or two before, being put (and this is my point the wardens dictated which pitch as is often my experience on busy club sites not our booking information) being on that steep a hill in marginal damp conditions the slightest clonk from another van/caravan at night and you envisage another runway which on a severe almost cliff top slope is truly a disaster recipe, not the relaxed weekend booked
