Wheal Rose Caravan Park

Easygoing management
Quiet site

Tumble dryer needs attention!

Good clean toilet facilities , a bit dated. Staff were friendly , a nice site with trees and well kept pitches.

Pitches were very close to one another , you can hear dogs barking from a kennel in the distance , had to have a card to get in and out of site with a 10£ deposit.

Had a nice relaxing stay the campsite was kept in good condition the pitches were very spacious the owners are very friendly and helpful would definately stay here again.

Only fault I found was keeping the shower running as it was a push button and I had to keep pushing to get water or try to shower with one hand

Nothing

There is a dog kennels in the next field they were constantly barking day & night.
A busy duel carriage way the other side. Could not sleep with the noise from both or relax around the tent.
The toilets were clean but not tidy, there was an old pair of children's swimming shorts on our pitch plus a used plaster & a few other bits of paper just left there.
Our pitch was close to two drain manholes one of which the outer cement was cracked so you imagine the smell the wind carried. Would not stay again in fact we had booked for 7 nights but only stayed for 2 which was more than enough I would advise to book else where.

The staff were polite and friendly. They were also very helpful throughout our stay. The campsite is secure day and night which I liked. The shower/toilet block were clean and very good to use. There is free wifi onsite which was great as phone signal was poor in places. The location was ideal as its in the middle of Penzance, Padstow, Newquay and Lands End so not far to travel to enjoy some lovely days out. The swimming pool was clean, warm and quite refreshing after a hot day. The play area for the kids was a good size to accommodate lots of children. My kids had so much fun on there and many a few holiday friends during our stay.

If I'm honest it's hard to pinpoint any dislikes to this place. If one thing could be improved, it could be the wifi signal at the far end of the campsite as where we pitched up, the wifi would drop in and out constantly so you have to walk closer to the shower block to access it. Part from that, all good.

Considering the very reasonable pitch price we thought this site was excellent value for money and a great location for getting around Cornwall. The facilities were not the most modern but we're perfectly adequate and always clean and tidy. Some beautiful weather meant we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at wheal rose.

Nice sized pitch with optional electricity, fresh water access equally spaced, toilet and shower facilities nice and clean, handy little shop with bare essentials and secure barrier. Liked the fact that the waste skips were off the main site and near the entrance so no wasps or bees were encouraged during the hot weather. Pleasant pool that was heated.

The sound of dogs barking constantly from a nearby dog kennels.

The wind and rain!!!!

Clean shower blocks, 'cosy corner' was great nice and private and plenty of space, staff were super friendly, I had a flat whilst we were there and Les the owner helped me get it off and drove me into Redruth to sort the change. Location also fantastic as you are within 45mins of anywhere in Cornwall!

Fantastic farm shop 2 mins away, turn left out of the site and it's 2 mins on your left.

Better wifi would have been good as phone signal was poor, we use our phones Internet to plan days out but it didn't spoil. Another shower/toilet block near reception would be good to reduce walk on rainy days.

A warm welcome, friendly staff, nice large flat pitch, facilities good and cleaned regularly, lovely small outdoor pool (our son loves it), nice little shop with supplies of everyday necessitates, (Tesco is only short drive away for main shopping), will freeze ice blocks for a very small fee, great for your cool box! Play area for children and useful games room with darts and pool etc (again son loved it). Les the owner came around each evening to check you were ok and happy which was a lovely touch. Always more than willing to help sort any problems or concerns (not that we had any, but have seen Les help many a guest!!!). Close to fab beaches (Porthtowen beach is one of the best), just off coast to coast cycle way, good for those liking to cycle and walk (2 cycle hire shops nearby) , central for most tourist attractions.

Quiet site, well maintained, great for families with children. Pass card to enter site so nice and secure. Wildlife is close at hand if you seek it - we had birds of prey flying over head, birdsong to wake to every morning and Fox and owl calls in the quiet of the evenings!

This was our 4th year staying at this site, so it speaks for its self we would recommend this lovely little gem!
