  • 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, Helston and Flambards, or 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...

Liked Absolutely amazing again, well presented site, extremely clean and tidy facilities, top quality greeting and staff are amazing, sorted our reservation out due to a last minute change of plans, would highly recommend 😀

Disliked Nothing to dislike 😁

From the manager: Amanda, many thanks for your kind words and returning again this year. The reception team were happy to help with your last minute plan changes when you arrived. It really worked out quite favourably for you all, didn’t it?! We’d all love to see you again next year for a 3rd visit. Have a great summertime.

Excellent site, very clean facilities and friendly staff.

# 1 powered grass travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked Peaceful location with friendly staff. Close enough to Marazion to walk with a choice of two routes. Well stocked shop if needed and good facilities.

Disliked Backing onto the pitch is not for a novice. Maybe a little less parking in that area would help.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to post a review, S & C. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the facilities clean, and the staff friendly. Pitch 1 is a favoured plot. It is approximately 18x22m, near the entrance and includes 2 electric hook-up points and parking for two cars too. We really hope we get the chance to host you again.

Liked Everything was perfect! The staff were friendly, cheerful and super helpful. The site was pretty and extremely well maintained.

Disliked There was nothing to dislike!

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words, Jo. Both the housekeeping team and reception staff frequently get mentioned in online reviews. We appreciate your acknowledgement of the maintenance men! They all work extremely hard to keep everything operational, as well as taking care of the beautiful planters and hanging baskets, pitches and park ground. We hope to see you both (and your lovely dog) again in the future.

This was our second year staying here. It is a lovely site.

Stephen J.

Powered grass tent campsite (small)

Liked The bathroom, the swimming pool, the size of the site, the shop, the pitches, the location.

Disliked I wish there was one extra toilet in the men's bathroom as sometimes there was a wait.

From the manager: Stephen, thank you for staying with us! It’s pleasing to hear that you enjoyed our amazing swimming pool! We superheat our water to an enjoyable 32°C. Your comment regarding the toilet has been highlighted to the park managers, thank you. We hope to welcome you, S, and your doggie back again in the future.

We have already booked our next visit Need i say more??

Jacqueline S.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The bathrooms, pool, laundry room and site in general were very clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and efficient and it was walkable into Marazion (if hilly!). A perfect 3 day stay.

Disliked We had our own Wi-Fi but I can see that people may object to having to pay for it.

From the manager: Thank you for your review Jacqueline. We are so pleased to hear that you had a perfect 3 day stay! The majority of our lovely holidaying guests have great data connection packages on their phones and gadgets, and the uptake on park Wi-Fi is decreasing year by year. However, we feel it is important that every guest can connect to the internet, and have recently had a system upgrade to ensure great connection for all. In the future we’d love to welcome you back, and also wish you & T lots more adventures in your motorhome this year!

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…
