VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2025

Lovely peaceful site, clean toilets and showers. Only downside was the shop not being open and the only local amenities were a drive to.

This site was in a great location

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

In a great location, as it not far from many of the beaches. Very quiet and the toilet block was very clean at all times of the day. We particularly liked the wetsuit wash as that was one of our reasons to be in Cornwall. The owners/staff are extremely helpful and friendly. if you are looking for a quiet, clean site then I would recommend.

Great site

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Great, well ran campsite with helpful owners. Not too far from the beach at Godrevy and shops in Hayle. Facilities were always clean. Loved the books and games that you can borrow from the laundry room and the visiting ice cream and catering vans. Pitches are varied but are good sizes. Will definitely be returning here next year.

A note from the site themselves...

We are a family run park with mum, dad, daughter, son in law and son! We have always been campers/caravaners so we had an insight into what customers look for on a site. For us, we wanted a site where families can come and enjoy time with relatives/children.

Chilling after a day out on the beach or sightseeing was a must so a noisy rowdy site wasn't for us! We expected facilities to be clean and well maintained. Somewhere the children could play and make friends in a safe environment with friendly site owners/wardens.

We fell in love with the site on arrival, it has a 'feel good' and welcoming atmosphere (which many customers have mentioned in reviews) and knew instantly it was the site for us. We have spent our time putting our own stamp on, updating/renewing and adding to make this site the best it can be. Keeping our amenities spotless is paramount.

There is always more that can be done so we try with each year to add a little something new! We pride ourselves on our ability to provide a site that is all that we would expect and want for our holiday.

Higher Trevaskis Caravan and Camping Park is ideal for...

Couples
Older children (13+)
Peace and quiet
Young children
