Cornwall dog friendly campsite, Wheal Rodney
is a small quiet site offering pitches for caravans and tourers, as well as tents.
Touring and Caravans
PITCHES ARE OPEN FROM EASTER TO NOVEMBER, PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A "QUIET AFTER 10.00 PM SITE"
Electric Hook-up
Area
At the left of our site entrance is pitch number 1, which is a very popular
pitch with regular guests, being completely by itself and looking across
open fields towards Marazion. (although normally let to
just one family this pitch has two electric hook-up points and is spacious
enough to take two caravans if friends wish to stay together)
BBQ's are allowed as long as they are kept off the grass (bricks available
at reception!).
At the right of the entrance is a grassed area containing a further six pitches. Looking out from these pitches the area directly behind the boundary of Wheal Rodney holiday park is farmland, looking across towards Trencrom Hill, which is the highest point in the district of Penwith (pictured), and from its other side, overlooks St. Ives, which is just 4.5 miles from Wheal Rodney as the crow flies.
Close to the amenities block (which houses reception, the indoor swimming pool, shower blocks and the laundry) is a grassed area containing a further five pitches. These are ideal for those with small children or anyone wishing to be close to the facilities.
On site facilities include:
Well kept, clean, shower/toilet facilities open 24 hours a day;
Free hot water, for showers and dishwashing;
Laundry with washing machines, tumble dryers and ironing facilities;
Free Ice Pack Service;
Microwave oven for campers use,
Free Battery and mobile phone charging;
Elsan Point;
Warm indoor heated pool is free of charge for our guests to use; and
Reception has tourist information and a small shop sells basic supplies.
Wi-fi internet access is now available for a small weekly charge -
bring your laptop! |
As we are a "Quiet after 10.00pm" site there is no bar on site, but our nearest pub in Marazion - is just five minutes walk up the lane, children are welcome, dogs on a lead are accepted, and there is a beer garden. A Further selection of pubs and restaurants, the beach and the causeway to St. Michael's Mount are all within easy walking distance. This view of St. Michael's mount is taken from the beer garden of the nearby Fire Engine Inn.
Please note:
Children: Whilst children are, of course, welcome, we would like to point out that we have no playground or recreation area for ball games etc., and so tend to attract adults and young families who return because they appreciate the standards kept on site and our close proximity to Marazion. Some Teenagers can find it boring here! Young children must be well supervised at all times on site and Under 8's must be accompanied inside the amenities block and shower facilities.
Dogs are welcome
The amount of dogs on site at any one time is limited so please book early. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on site, and should be exercised off site. There are several walks available directly from the site, the coastal footpath is ten minutes walk away. A list of dog permitted beaches (there is a nice one in Marazion itself) can be found at reception.
Arrivals
Pitches are available from 1.00pm on your day of arrival to 11.00am on your day of departure. As a small site, we have no holding area so we regret that we cannot accept arrivals on site before 1.00pm unless arrangements have been made with reception.
A plan of the holiday park showing the location of pitches is available by clicking here.
Caravans
travelling overnight, during mid and peak season, wishing to take up their
pitch from 8.00am onwards, must book the pitch for the night before your
early morning arrival. The basic tent pitch fee applies for these holding
nights, so it can work out very cheaply. Please ask for a quote. For the
peace and enjoyment of our families staying on site the earliest arrival
accepted is 8.00 am and the latest arrival is 8.00pm.
