Hi Jo-Anne
We've stayed at the following site in Cornwall in the last couple of years.
Godrevy CC (Hayle nr St Ives) - nice site nothing special but was close to the beech for surfing.
Ayr Camping & Caravan site (ST Ives) closest site to the town centre. Didn't like it much too cramped plus shared with statics. Access into the site also very restricted.
Trewethett CC (Tintagel) fantastic views , can be windy. Good facilities. roads to site are B roads so can be a bit tight in places (dont use SatNav to ge there!!!). Nice site been there a few times and would go back.
Looe CC - Really liked this site , spacious pitches (although some sloping) good amenity block , decent playground and reasonable dog exercise area. Roads to site very tight. I believe the site is currently being upgraded. Would go back again
Tregurrian CCC (Watergate Bay Newquay)- Nice site , small by comparision. OK facilities not briliant no play area or dog walk on site. Less than 1 mile from Watergate Bay and for this reason only we'd go again. (dont be tempted by the Fish & Chip van that comes once a week - vile is not the word).
Hope this helps

CC site at Trewethett Farm near Tintagel or the private site, Polmanter near St Ives. Both different but superb views and facilities. Check out Polmanter's web site for more detail.

You don't say if you've got kids or you want peace and quiet or great views, etc.
Out of season Godrevy Park CC site is my favourite but as with most can get busy at peak times. River Valley at Relubbus, just outside Marazion is a very nice site in a peaceful setting but the downside is that the sun (joke) sets quite early due to its location.
Another point to consider is, I believe, that the maximum stay on a Caravan Club site is 28 days (4 weeks). Planning regulations I think.

Try looking at www.caravansitefinder.co.uk for lots of parks with reviews by other users and videos.
Jo Anne,
You don,t say if kids are involved.
Pentewan Sands near Mevagissey has everything you need.It is situated on its own private beach and has all the facilities you could need.
Have a look at their web site.When we go there we go Wed to Wed.Much easier for travelling in & out of Cornwall.But they book up really quickly.Their booking office opens in Nov each year.

What are the three most important aspects you and your sons , plus hubby look for when staying away. Personally I prefer the south west of Cornwall so Polmanter is ideal for us and the two Springer Spaniels. The Lizard part is lovely and close to Flambards amusement park at Helston.

Trewince Farm Between Wadebridge and Padstow, very well run and tended medium size quietish site on a working farm, small shop and nice uncrowded pool. No Bar, dogs ok, easy access. Good mix of towns and beaches. Plenty of dog beaches. http://www.cornwall-online.co.uk/trewincefarmholidaypark/Welcome.html
Or - Mother Iveys bay caravan park SW of Padstow. http://www.motheriveysbay.com/
This is a real cracker right on the back of a fabulous small beach. Lovely easy cliff walk to 2 larger beaches at Harlyn or constantine.
The site is kept in outstanding order.
See the arial plan on the web site.
There is a large site next door but you wouldn't know it's there.
No pool or bar.
Dogs ok in site and on beaches.
Final mile of access is not quite so easy.
Or
In the south on the Roseland paninsula is Trethem Mill near St Mawes, again a real quality small site.

We stay at a site near to Mother Ives+Harlyn bay called Trethias Farm it is just at the side of Tryarnon bay,thats the next beach to Constantine Bay.

Hi jo-anne
If you walk onto the beach at treyarnon down the ramp from the life guard hut,walk across the stream running down the beach and up the steps on the opposite side of the beach,this joins a single tarmac road between the houses,at the top of the road is the entrance to the site,you are right about tryarnon it is a superb beach the natural pool is brilliant for the kids,we went every day for 3 weeks and my little girl played in the stream making dams with new friends for hours on end,happy days ,Andrew.

You may want to check out if dogs are allowed on the beach at Treyarnon, I don't beleive they are which may be a bit of a downer when you can't use a beach within walking distance. I know Harlyn is dog freindly.
No disrespect to the Cornish folk but we have been to Cornwall on three seperate occassions and each time have not been able to enjoy ourselves there. We have tried to analyse the situation but we cannot come up with an answer. We have been many times to south Devon and on each occassion thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. What it is about Cornwall God only knows - sorry to you Cornish residents - nothing personal.
Hi dogs are allowed on the beach at treyarnon bay we take ours with us,but there are beaches in the area that don't allow dogs,
Colin i know what you mean about Cornwall there does seem to be a anti-english feeling growing we have been for the last 7yrs and have noticed a change over the years,not because of this but we have booked to go to France next year for a change.

Andrew we went to France this year - to Camping Du Letty in Benodet - sailed Plymouth to Roscoff. Absolutelt brilliant time. Today we received the 2008 copy of the Select Sites holiday brochure so will be studying that again with great interest.
