  • Cornwall countryside touring park five minutes' drive from Marazion
  • St Michael's Mount 10 minutes' drive; Land's End 35 minutes
  • Simple back to basics pitches for caravans and motorhomes only
Searching for somewhere simple, spacious and serene to settle down in the Cornish countryside for a while? Make your way to Marazion Touring Park, two miles from Marazion and with large peaceful pitches among parkland that's full of trees and greenery. The park has basic toilet and shower facilities, along with a chemical disposal point, but that’s pretty much it – no noisy entertainments or busy facilities here, just a quiet site where you'll be able relax and enjoy the fresh air and the sound of birdsong. Walkers will be particularly well served too – there's a footpath running through the site that connects with a network of local trails, and as the coast is only a few minutes' drive away you'll also easily be able to get out onto the South West Coast Path. You're welcome to bring along a dog to accompany you on such outings – they’ll need to be kept on a lead on site, but you’re never too far from a dog-friendly beach where they can have a splash around. The beaches around here are stunning, of course – and you'll have several to choose from, including Praa Sands in the south and Hayle up on the north coast (20 minutes away). Popular St Michael's Mount is close by as well, and it's a little over half an hour's drive to Land’s End.

What customers say

This neat, tranquil spot boasts friendly owners and staff. Clean facilities, hot showers & a top-notch kitchen with fridge/freezer are praised. Nestled in beautiful woods, it's ideal for exploring West Cornwall, with nearby walks and cycling. Minor points: small wash basins & patchy phone signal (paid WiFi available). Food vans visit often.

Electric grass pitch

Liked This is a really well kept site with flowers everywhere. The owners have taken it over since COVID and have done a really lovely job on it. You get a really warm welcome on arrival. The owner Gavin is ever present, always working on something, never stops and keeps the site in top condition. There's a paid for optional WiFi as the signal was pretty dismal ( for us on Tesco), but it was worth paying as we needed to plan cycling routes etc. The showers and loos are clean and there was plentiful hot water. Make sure you follow the site's instructions to get there if you're in a big van like we were or have a caravan. There are a couple of good food vans ( Greek, Fish and chips , and crepes and coffee on Friday),that visit during the week and it's pretty close to Marazion where we windsurfed. We really liked the site and we'd definitely stay again.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Friendly, relaxed environment. Lovely park warden and staff. Woodland walk though my stubborn dog did not want to go! Recycling, showers, plenty of water and waste disposal points, very well kept grounds, easy road access, extremely quiet at night, visiting food vans am and pm some days. Excellent value for money a real gem.

Disliked Hand basins in the toilet block are tiny, and do not have hot water or water clean enough to brush teeth.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at our park. We do listen to all reviews and try, where possible, to improve and add services. Hand basins have been mentioned a few times and we are trying to find a sensible solution.

We look forward to seeing you again.

Tom J.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The campsite is in a lovely woodland setting, only a few minutes from the main road, little to no traffic passing by, so very peaceful. Great location to explore West Cornwall. Tall hedges and trees provided shade from the early morning sun, owing to a pleasant sleep. The owner and wardens are extremly welcoming and friendly. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Showers were powerful and hot. Kitchen area was brilliant, free use of fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster and microve. Washing machine and tumble dryer available at extra cost. Great value for money and will certainly be back.

Disliked Only very minor gripe (noted by my wife) wash basin are quite small in the toilets to wash face etc, but I simply had a shower!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for posting such a good review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will visit again.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Friendly site manager, pleasant, informative and obliging.
Grass pitches, good sizes.
Well kept site, clean and tidy.
Wildlife.
Close to St Michael's Mount.

Disliked Toilets not on mains and some sort of eco system, which didn't smell too good.

No wash basins to clean teeth as water was only for washing hands and not recommended for brushing of teeth.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The rural and secluded location of our park has meant that we have to have portable toilet and shower facilities at the moment. We are glad that you liked everything else about the park.
