Friendly warm welcome from all staff, open uncrowded site with fabulous views. Walk to the beach is seriously downhill for 30 minutes across fields, easy drive or bike ride to Sennen. Lots to do in the area, shops and pubs in village, excellent bus in high season, supermarket parking and on the harbour top in Penzance.
Stayed a couple of extra nights and had to move off hard standing, Simon came and cut a fresh patch of grass just for us, hows that for service.
Facilities excellent, plenty of space and bins for dog walkers.

A great little site. Nice a quiet, Great views over Sennen cove area, all the facilities you could ever need. The only not so great thing is i think in bad weather the site would be very open to the elements!. We had a great time!! We will definitely be coming back again.

We stayed here for 4 nights in late August 2012. We received a fantastic, friendly welcome and were quickly and efficiently shown our pitch and the facilities (we had booked a grass pitch with EHU but were offered hardstanding if we wanted - so we switched with no problems) The site wasn't full and felt very peaceful indeed. All the people we met were really friendly, and the staff were very knowledgable and glad to help. The site itself is very well maintained. There's a small play area for the kids, and a playing field for ball games. The shop is small but with all the basics you could want. The facilities were fantastic, super clean and had loads of hot water. Had to queue a couple of times for showers and pot washing but it was no hardship. The well stocked information room gave us plenty of days out to consider. We left the camper at the site and used the 300 Bus - only £10 for a family day ticket - amazing value, and it stops at the top of the lane at the site! Over 3 days we went to St Ives, Lands End, Sennen, Penzance, Porthcurno and really made use of our tickets. The beach at Sennen is a 25 minute walk away, and from there, the walk over the coastal path to Lands End is another 45 minutes (we did this with two 5 year olds in tow and they loved it) look out for the shipwreck! The Beach restaurant at Sennen is lovely, and they are great with kids. If I was to mention any negatives, be aware that the site is on a headland, so can get quite windy (beware if you've got an awning up!) But all in all, a fantastic site, great location, great people, great sunsets, will definitely return!

Kath & Dave, North Wales (Club member) reviewed Sennen Cove Club Campsite...
During the torrential rains that hit the South West amongst other areas at the beginning of July we arrived in Cornwall after many years of promising ourselves to go back to see old haunts. We traveled from North Wales to Marazion, receiving a call just as we arrived to tell us that the Caravan Club site I had booked, months prior was flooded, they had no alternative for us. Marazion was close to my heart and I really wanted to be there - however we hastily made arrangements via an extremely helpful lady at The Camping & Caravan Club office. She suggested Sennen Cove, we called them and they said 'Yes sure we have no flooding problems here'! We could not believe it on our arrival. With the Motorhome we usually opted for hard-standing, on arrival we were shown these - also being given the choice of a very large, beautifully grassed area, with so much freedom to park up where we liked. So we went with the grass! The greeting was friendly, relaxed, helpful and amusing! The first night the rain and wind was horrendous - the following morning - not a puddle or bit of mud had been created. Such a welcome sight, especially after hearing so many terrible news stories we had heard on our way down to the South West. The site has great walks - almost direct access to the Coastal Path. A short car trip to anywhere in West & Mid Cornwall. Sennen Cove beach - a 20 minute hike or 5-10 minute drive - is stunning. The site's facilities were excellent. Being almost at Land's End it is breezy - but beautiful with it!

Superb site that wasn't our first choice but so glad we ended up here. From the welcome, to the facilities, to the size of the pitches - everything was brilliant. Facilities were spotless and even though there aren't many showers, we never had to queue. Hairdryers in shower block (20p). Washing machine & tumble dryer available (£3.50 & £1 resp.). Iron and ironing board available. Indoor dishwashing facilities.2 min walk to the bus stop which takes you to Penzance, St Ives or Lands End. Short walk down into the beautiful Sennon Cove. A well run, quiet, peaceful site that we will definitely be returning to !!

A lovely site, popular with all sorts of different folk. I talked with a German man (who had a delightful bearded collie), a Norwegian couple who didn't like driving their motorhome around the narrow Cornish lanes and a Belgian couple who were riding their BMW motorcycles to extremities of Europe, Land's End being the most westerly mainland point.
I last visited Sennen Cove in 2006 when I was bathed in glorious sunshine - and nothing has changed! I just happened to pick a remarkable week in this 'iffy' summer of 2012, I had four days of blue skies and endless sunshine!
On arrival I was offered a variety of EHU pitches and I chose one looking due west, head-on to the prevailing breeze. A very nice pitch and handy for the fish-and-chip van that visits on Monday and Thursday evenings (try the locally-caught hake, a lovely delicate flavour similar to cod).
There is an open-topped tour 'bus which stops at the site entrance and gives a (free to bus-pass holders) ride to St Just - St Ives - Marazion - Penzance - Porthcurno - Land's End - and back to the site entrance. With a forty minute stop in Penzance it takes a total of over four hours for the whole journey, although it is a hop-off, hop-on service if you wish.
Other reviews have criticised the site facilities, but not me. Yes, there are only three male showers but they were always clean and I never had to wait once, but maybe it's because I'm an early riser - I don't know. (It seems to me that the ones who complain about things like that are those people who have large caravans which are equipped with showers, toilets and the like, why don't they use 'em?)
To sum up, a lovely site with glorious views and all in a superb part of Britain.

A fantastic and informal site in a wonderful position near Sennen Cove.The meet and greet from Simon and Keith was second to none.They were most helpful at all times and nothing was too much trouble for them. We loved the very relaxed atmosphere of this site and would definately return here in the future. However this site does require more toilet, shower, washing up facilities at busier times and this needs attention from the club.Overall a great site that is perfectly placed for all the attractions and the coastal path. It also benefits from the tourist bus ( No 300 )which stops right outside the campsite,(Timetables from reception).

We spent 5 days at this site and enjoyed it very much. It was very close to a beach (20m walk) and served as a good base for our daily trips along the coast path. Facilities were well maintained and there were almost no queues, even when site was quite full. We would recommend it.

For a family with kids (14-16yrs old), we found it a very nice place to stay. Upon arrival the very friendly staff gave us on this generally exposed site a good sheltered pitch against the western wind (as we travel by tent) were we stayed for approx 2 weeks.
We particularly liked this site/area for the various activities that you can employ in the direct neighbourhood;
For instance our daughters went on their bikes to the Sennen Cove surf school. For biking/hiking; We went of on our bikes to visit the countryside and small towns in the area, like Mousehole.
Local attractions: The coastline: surfing in front of it, or hiking on top of it. Mousehole during low tide.
The Minack Theatre; Seeing dolphins during a theatre show!
In short: a place to return to, at least that is what we have planned for this coming season.

The sites book warns that T.V. reception may be difficult. not so any more. The digital signal from the St.Just transmitter which can be seen from the site is very good. However your aerial needs to be VERTICAL to get all the channels.

We were very impressed with this site at Sennen. The staff were incredibly friendly & helpful, they even loaned and put up a windbreak for us to help with outdoor cooking. We have 2 boys, age 5 & 7, they enjoyed playing on the climbing frames & slide & made lots of friends. The Toilets & showers we immaculate. We would definitely go back next year.

Haynes Family (Club member) reviewed Sennen Cove Club Campsite...
The welcome and the help by team were first class and the facilities were good, although in my opinion could do with more showers/toilets. There are only currently 3 showers for men and 3 for women and three cubicles in the toilets with 3 urinals. carefully select your shower time or you could be waiting! Having said that, they are immaculately clean.
Washing up was also limited with 2 sinks only.
The site itself is in a lovely area, loads to see and do all round the area.
Our little boy is 3 years old and our pitch was next to the play area, this was okay but during the evening, particularly between 8 and 10 is extremely noisy, this obviously meant our little one was kept awake with the noise. There was also alot of football being played around the play area (right next to our tent) and the football kept going under our car etc. Not brilliant.
The shop is very small and limited, so best to get anything you need from St Just.
All in all, it is a lovely clean site but probably not one I would return to.

We picked this site to be a central location for leaving our motorhome and taking buses to various locations. The bus schedule in May wasn't very helpful but we made the best of it. In fact, riding the buses through some of those tight lanes were the highlight of the stay. The site itself is an open field. The wifi was weak. But it was clean and the hosts were friendly and helpful.

LRR (Club member) reviewed Sennen Cove Club Campsite...
We booked this site for its location but should have researched it more as its a ten minute drive to Sennen Cove! The managers are friendly and helpful. The site is lovely and in a nice area. The general facilities are in desperate need of being updraded, there are only 3 washing up sinks in a small room where if there were 3 people in there it would be very cramped. There was only 3 female and 3 male showers and for a site of this size that is terrible its been a long while since I had to queue but I had to here and it was early in the morning as well. The site has a nice dog walking area and there are a few walks in the local area and the beach is a long walk away and not very well sign posted. The site has a fish and chip van that visits and to be honest the chips are dry and not that nice! Overall a shame that the site did not not live up to the usual CCC standards!

John Lineton (Club member) reviewed Sennen Cove Club Campsite...
This site is ideally located for access to the far west of the Cornish peninsular with excellent clifftop walks and beaches: Sennen, with it's beach front facilities, Gwenver and Porthcurno (also Telegraph Museum and the Minack, cliff top theatre) , to name but a few.
Along the north coast, a pretty but very narrow, windy-road takes you through St. Just and Pendeen, with excellent walks to be had around the old mine workings near to Botallack and the Geevor Mine, for those with an interest in this part of Cornwall's industrial past.
Further afield, you travel on via Zennor on to the pretty, but very busy, fishing port of St Ives with its Tate Gallery of modern art.
The south coast is equally beautiful, with many hidden little fishing coves to visit, including Penberth, Mousehole and Newlyn, with its fish festival at the end of August.
The only negatives of the site are that it can be very exposed at times, so tents and awnings need to be in a good state of repair and capable of being very well anchored down. Toilets and shower facilities are barely adequate at the peak times of year, but are scrupulously cleaned every day by the site staff. This is particularly important as, being a mostly grassed site, periods of prolonged rain do lead to roadways becoming extremely muddy!
If you choose to visit, I hope that you enjoy it as much as my family do but ... please, please, remember to look after this little 'gem' and keep it as tranquil as it should be for all, so that people's holidays are full of the peace and relaxation that they should be.

Sarah (Club member) reviewed Sennen Cove Club Campsite...
This site is in a stunning location with panoramic coastal views. This does have a downside if you're in a tent as you need pretty hefty guy ropes and lots of pegs. I would imagine its the same with awnings. The site is not actually in Sennen Cove itself but on the clifftop a couple of miles further north. There are beautiful walks down to the sea but a little too far if you have youngsters and all the trappings for a day on the beach, and a steep hike back up. I would describe the facilities here as basic - very clean but the shower area could really do with updating. The site is, to be honest, just a field - some landscaping would provide protection and enhance the overall appearance. There is a small play area for young children. Highly recommend the open top bus which at £7 for adults can be used all day for a circular loop to St Ives, Penzance and Lands End.

Spent 3 weeks there and quite quiet this time of year. 19 Dutch tourers came in, had a nice coffee with them.
I must mention WIFI does not work very well unless you are quite near the office. Aircraft(small engine planes) noise from airport not too bad but first one off is around 7.30am. Use car park the far end of Sennen as it is cheaper. Lands End parking costs £3 but photos at sign are not free.

When we arrived, we were welcomed with a friendly smiling member of the team and his puppy dog!
The location of site was smashing, stayed on a hardstanding pitch, park area located in the middle of the site for children.
views nice with farm close by.
We decided to take a walk off site, the staff member and his puppy dog came to ask if we fancied walking to the beach - brilliant idea! he gave instructions to walk past the farm over a couple of fields (weather dry and sunny). Climb over a few stiles on the way.
Down a country road to a narrow and steep steps down to a cove.
Well worth the walk to visit the beach.
The walk down the steep single steps (you have to be kind and stop to let people pass) would be for suitable for most age ranges, not for prams/push chairs. We had to guide our toddler down slowly. Wonderful views to absorb on the way up & down.
we had a warm greeting with the gentleman and his puppy again when we returned (we are doggy people)! asked if we enjoyed are afternoon down the beach - which we did.
He advised us of the chippy van in the evening (Thursdays 2010). so, we spoilt ourselves with a chip meal.
we only went for one nite, due to us booking a number of camping and caravan sites on the internet at last minute, we wanted to explore various available sites rather than stay longer with less sites visited.
Next time we shall stay more than one nite.

Amazing site, was the highpoint of last years holiday. Surfing in Sennen and wonderfull walks around lands end.
A bus from the site gate to the beach and the most helpfull staff i have yet to experience.
Facilities are all you could need without the excesses of some corprate sites and were always spotless. My only regret last year was leaving after only 3 days as the site was part of a tour we did of the south coast.
We are returning for a proper break this year which is a first for us, with friends.
