  • Small, cosy and family-run park a mile from Marazion
  • A short walk from St Michael's Mount
  • Free pool and spotless amenities
Sites near the coast are rather special. Particularly when they’re Cornish, less than a mile from a beauteous bay, and with a heated indoor pool in which guests can wallow wrinkedly all the winter day if the mood so takes them – for free… Drive down a country lane surrounded by fields to reach small, family-run and exceedingly esteemed Wheal Rodney Holiday Park, a mile from Marazion and a short saunter to St Michael's Mount. It’s easy to drive to the other attractions of west Cornwall from here (the Lizard Peninsula, Land’s End and Penzance are all close by), but the kids won’t have time to say they’re bored before you’re at arty St Ives and the north coast or heading to the Isles of Scilly from Penzance or Land's End. The majority of Wheal Rodney’s guests are families, but their welcome extends to all, dogs included, who’ll probably wag their tails at the countryside walks straight from the site and the list of dog-friendly Cornish beaches available in reception. The spotless facilities building has the site reception, shower blocks with free hot water, launderette and the aforementioned free swimming pool, open from 9am daily. Ice pack freezing and phone and gadget charging are also gratis for guests. Other facilities on site include an Elsan point, recycling and a shop for essentials: if your holiday equals not having to cook, the Fire Engine Inn – with a temptingly tasty menu and beer garden – is under 10 minutes’ stroll from Wheal Rodney. As with the site, dogs and children are whealy welcome too...

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.

Electric grass touring pitch

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.

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.

An excellent site which has great clean and modern facilities. Thanks

# 1 electric grass touring pitch (large)

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.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We hope to welcome you again in the future, but we are so pleased that the time you had with us 'spectacular'.

Route directions

If travelling in a caravan or large motorhome, don't try to reach the site by going through the town of Marazion. Instead, go through the village of Crowlas, pass The Star Inn (on your right) and then take a left at the crossroads (signposted Rospeath). Travel for 1.5 miles along the winding country lane without turning off. Pass under the bypass bridge and then bear a sharp left around the corner. Start going up the hill to Marazion and the site is just up the road on the right-hand side.

Local attractions

There are so many top-notch beaches around west Cornwall (25 within easy reach of Wheal Rodney) that it can be hard to pick where to stretch out on the sand/rookpool/surf at first… Marazion is a bonzer beach startoff point from Wheal Rodney, as not only it is a piffling mile away, but it has two beaches: the main Town Beach and a much quieter and hidden one at Steps Beach (the latter is dog-friendly all year round). Overlooking Town Beach is the medieval castle on St Michael’s Mount, the rocky island halfway along Mount’s Bay and now managed by the National Trust. Both are within strolling distance of Wheal Rodney: sail out to the island from Mount’s Bay for a harbour tour and a gawp at the subtropical gardens, viewable when peering down from the castle battlements. Fishing villages, clandestine coves and golden sands are speckled along the Cornish coast from Wheal Rodney: take a day at each if you can (the boss will understand) for fishing in Mullion and Porthleven, surfing at Sennen Cove and Praa Sands, diving and shipwreck hunting at Falmouth’s Porthkerris Beach, or just having a gape at the celebrated scenery of the Lizard’s Kynance and Kennack Sands. When sand is dusted from toes, Marazion town centre is a gem for art galleries, antiques and jewellery: Penlee House at Penzance three miles away and Tate St Ives seven miles north are also a big draw for artistes. Both towns have several other art galleries, more beaches (of course) and the opportunity to sing very loud and tuneless sea shanties with pirates at Penzance. The St Ives Bay Line from Penzance to St Ives is one of the most scenic you’ll see anywhere in the country; for added viewsomeness, walk to Penzance from Marazion along the South West Coast Path, stopping very frequently to snap the scenery at Mount’s Bay, Mousehole and the Lizard. Thirteen miles from Wheal Rodney towards the southwest, have your photo taken at the famous signpost at Land’s End, where also cordially recommended is partaking of a Cornish cream tea at the Land’s End restaurant. And while you’re in the area, stick around into the evening for a performance at the open-air Minack Theatre, 11 miles from Wheal Rodney in the direction of Land’s End. Its season runs from May to September, but theatre fiends can take a guided tour any time of year, something that also comes cordially recommended…
