From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review Jonathan. We loved hosting you all and hope to welcome you back again next year!

Liked The indoor pool as it was warm, its was quiet and the site was cleaned regularly. The shop was well stocked with camping essentials and others.

Disliked The pitch wasn't very good, there wasn't a park but the woman in reception kept moaning about kids playing, the lack of space to turn a van around in the site. There was only 2 mens toilets for over 40 pitches and the shower had very little space in them, meaning anything u took in got wet. The amenities have been updated in areas but does some require some updates to the swimming pool as the ceiling is grim, the loos need redesigning to make better use of space and more loos, the washing up facilities could do with moving as its situated with a microwave 2 washing machines, 2 dryers and an iron n board.

From the manager: Daniel, thank you for taking the time to review us, and we're pleased that the warmth of the indoor pool, the quiet feel of the site, the cleanliness and the well-stocked shop all worked for you.

On a few of the other points we'd like to gently offer some context, as we think it's only fair to the wider picture.

We don't advertise a park or a play area anywhere on our listing, and we never have — we're a small, quiet countryside site, and the families who return to us year after year with their children do so precisely because of that. Our own children live on site and are often out playing with the guests' children during the school holidays, so we know first-hand how well it works for the families who come here — and during your stay most of the children were riding their bikes and playing nicely together, and had a lovely time.

The reason a child was spoken to during your stay was that he was running knock-down-ginger between our holiday lodges, disturbing other guests' holidays, pulling up plants, jumping on the fences, and was found taking items out of the recycling bin and throwing them into the field next door. That isn't about a lack of a park — it's about looking after everyone else's holiday, and every other child on site that week was playing happily without any need for a word. If what you overheard sounded like our receptionist "moaning", we suspect you caught part of a conversation between her and me where she was letting me know what had been happening — she was upset on behalf of the guests whose holidays were being disturbed, and understandably a bit passionate about it, because our whole aim is that everyone has a peaceful and relaxing stay. We're sorry if that came across the wrong way in passing.

On the swimming pool ceiling: the original roof over the pool is metal, which causes condensation on the underside and, over time, discolouration of the ceiling tiles below. We've been replacing sections of the roof with a fibreglass roof, which resolves the condensation at source — the roof is huge, so we're doing this in increments over successive winters. The ceiling tiles themselves can only be replaced when the pool is closed to guests, which means the winter months. We'd love to be able to do it mid-season, but with a working pool underneath it simply isn't possible.

On the shower, toilet and laundry block: the layout is dictated by the drainage runs and load-bearing walls of the existing building, so we can't freely move fittings around. On the numbers, we actually have more showers and toilets than the legal requirement for the site — and to correct one figure in your review, we have 32 pitches, not "over 40". We'd genuinely love to add a couple more showers, but the age and construction of the building means it isn't something we're able to do. On the point about clothes getting wet inside the cubicles, that one we're actively looking at — we're exploring options for storing clothing outside the shower itself, including lockers, and are working through the best way to do it without eating into the space guests need to change in.

For a bit of broader context: we bought Wheal Rodney in March 2024, so this is only our third season, and in that time we've already invested over £100,000 in upgrades — including replacing part of the pool roof with fibreglass, a new pool filtration system, new pool pipework, and two lodges gutted and completely redone. Guests who saw the site before we took it on know how far it has come; we're continuing to reinvest every winter, and the pool roof and ceiling tiles are part of that ongoing programme.

Thanks again for the feedback, and for the things you enjoyed.

Liked Warm indoor pool with no limit on number or duration of use. Location, easy walking distance to Marazion and close drive to A30. Good washing and clothes drying facilities. Small campsite so shared facilities always available.

Disliked Charge for wifi

Liked Everything from the moment we arrived to the time we left receptionist was so welcoming very professional also the people who managed the up keep of the site that kept it clean and tidy, we used this site for a base to explore the rest of Cornwall which was an ideal location.
Has an indoor pool never used it as we was out and about
We would definitely come again and also recommend this site to anyone thinking of coming to Marazion

Disliked Small site and did feel like you was close to your neighbours

From the manager: Gary, thank you for your great review and we’re delighted that you’d visit again and recommend us to friends. The park is in a great location with many beaches and attraction on our doorstep. We do hope that you get to swim in our lovely indoor pool on your next visit; it is kept at a beautifully warm temperature and is a perfect way to round off a day after exploring this stunning area. Thanks for choosing Wheal Rodney Holiday Park for your summer holiday.

Liked Pitch was well situated. Indoor pool. Ablutions were clean

From the manager: We are so pleased that you had a great holiday and thought the park was good value for money. Thanks for staying with us!

Liked Lovely place in a quiet location, good onsite facilities, including a small shop for essentials, decent showers and toilet area. Free use of hairdryer. Staff are lovely and helpful. We stayed on pitch 2, lovely size pitch, took a bit of time to level our caravan, but once sorted it was perfect. Although next to the road it didn't bother us, although I can understand why is may bother others if they have young children due to some noise. We would definitely book again, it's 5 minutes drive from St Michael's Mount and close to many other places such as Penzance and St Ives. Would 100% recommend.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Pitch 2 is a great size and a favourite of many retuning guests. All the staff loved hosting you and S and very much look forward to your return.

Liked This site is spectacular, has everything you need and more. The pitch we had (No 1) was massive with more than enough space for us and the dog! The location of the site is so well suited, a 15 minute walk to Marazion either along a busy lane or across country via the farmers fields. The toilets and shower facilites are modern and clean. Toilets were also clean and tidy.
The heated pool was an added bonus which we used once, but a nice option to have for free.
The small site shop was excellent with milk, bread, butter and a few other necessities for sale. The staff were very informative and helpful, thank you!

Disliked Nothing on the site was to dislike its a hidden gem and we will be back when in the area - something to be aware of is road noise if on the pitches close to the lane.
Also boy/girl racers going up and down the A30 on the weekends, nothing the site can do about this - but if you are a light sleeper or have young children take ear plugs.
