 Just returned from a very enjoyable weekend camping here. Fantastic location on a very friendly and peaceful park. The pitch was large and well maintained and we never had any problem with noise early morning or late at night like we have experienced on other camping sites.
The only negative was the dated unisex toilets but most people can live with that.
Will definitely be returning sometime soon.

A lovely, well maintained site with well laid out pitches for Motorhomes, caravans and tents. Very close to the beach and St Michaels Mount. There are around 32 pitches. Unfortunately we thought the available facilities inadequate for the size of site. There are only 3 WC's and 2 showers and these are unisex. The showers require a 50 pence piece to operate and you get around 6 minutes. There are no sinks to wash/shave in. There is 1 sink for washing up. We only stayed 1 night which was enough considering the lack of facilities.

Stayed here to use as a base for St Michael's Mount. Very good location for the mount. Literally 5mins walk to the beach where it's all located. Warden was very friendly and helpful.
Although it is a great location for the mount, its not the best site. Pitches are a good size but they definitively need a new toilet/shower block building. You had to pay for the showers (which is stupid nowadays. There were only 2 showers and 3 toilets (in total, all unisex) In the peak time, the site gets full (according to warden) so as a result, a nice his & her's shower block would be good, Would hate to have to queue for the toilet let alone the shower!
If you stay here, and stay on a Sunday or Tuesday, the mount is lit up at night, so its nice to walk back to it in the evening and watch it light up.

My wife and I have just spent a very pleasant stay at Dove Meadows.
This site is situated in a quiet area just five minutes walk to the main road to St Michael's Mount and the Local bus stop. Buses for Marazion to Penzance main bus station which serves the surrounding area's. (eg. Truro - Lands end -St Ives)
We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and friendly staff who also keep the toilet facilities spotlessly clean along with the spacious grass pitches with Electric hookup.
This is a great place to chill out and enjoy the surrounding area.
This site is now on our return lists for the future.

We had a really lovely stay at Dove Meadows. The site is beautiful, with plenty of space between units and interesting trees to provide privacy and shelter. There were lots of really friendly people there, several being regulars who return as if it's their second home! As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a lovely regular visitor who told us about the fish and chip van that was about to arrive. Who could resist hot chips after driving down in snow for a camping holiday! It made us feel much warmer!
The owner was very friendly and the warden and his wife were absolutely delightful. 2 showers and 3 loos were kept spotless (despite some selfish users) and the showers were good, with about 7 minutes for 50p in a draught proof cubicle that was twice the usual size. Plenty of loo roll always too! Water points are easy to access (we use a plastic bottle rather than a big tank so this matters!). The only slight frustration was that the sinks were tiny, and the water heaters didn't work, making shaving a bit uncomfortable for my husband. Also be aware that the washing up facilities only have cold water - we boiled a kettle to take hot water there.
The location of this site is brilliant: 2 minutes' walk and you are in beautiful Marazion bay, overlooking the stunning St. Michael's Mount. We walked over on the causeway on the night we arrived but took the ferry to look around during opening hours - the tide is the key factor here. We had a lovely time on the beach, pottering and kite flying, or watching kite surfers when it got really windy. We also took bikes and had a breathtaking bike ride on the coast path (hard going with strong winds) through Penzance, Newlyn and then to Mousehole where we sat in sunshine and shelter in a lovely cafe with delicious home made food.
One of the highlights was going the half hour journey to Minack Theatre, open to the elements in the cliff face. It was still cold weather, but we booked to see Honk!, a musical about the ugly duckling, for the best night of our visit. It had been a calm, sunny day and the evening was the same. But it got very very cold (frost on the grass most mornings). Fortunately, as campervanners, we had all our bedding with us and were cosy under king size duvet and on mattresses, keeping us warm on the cold stone in the night air! It was a brilliant show and a memorable evening. We also visited St. Ives, several National Trust places, and the seal sanctuary.
All in all, a really lovely site with simple facilities and a warm welcome. The location is wonderful and the people delightful.

Only here for a weekend in the motorhome without our kids. Cant comment on the facilities as we didn't use them but owners very friendly.
We picked this site as I have never been to the Mount, we walked out and had coffee and cake (where did my rock n roll lifestyle go lol) I thought it was lovely. Campsite is in a great position for this.
We had electric bikes so cycled all along the beach path to Penzance.
A very pleasant weekend trip.

Janie and I have stayed at Dove Meadows several times and each has been absolutely wonderful. The location which is sandwiched between the RSPB Nature Reserve and St Michael's mount and just a few minutes walk from Marazion is so convenient. The facilities are excellent - showers and toilets clean (don't forget you'll need 50p for the shower) - and best of all is the welcome we receive from the owners. We're greeted like long, lost friends.
There's a choice of pubs - we've been to the Godolphin several times and they not only allow dogs they even have a bowl with dog biscuits on the bar. The food is good and inexpensive. We've also eaten at Ben's Kitchen which is excellent for a special occasion. They clearly have a really good chef and the quality compares with many London restaurants. Booking is advisable as it seems really popular.
We can't comment on 'child friendliness' as ours have grown up and we've only visited in the winter. However, we believe they try to strike a balance by encouraging families with well-behaved children so visits aren't spoiled for other visitors.
In summary, it's a great site in a wonderful location within easy reach of Marazion (10 minute walk) and only 2 miles from Penzance which is a lovely walk along the beach.
To sum up, Marazion is beautiful and only a couple of miles from Penzance which you can walk to along the beach and we'll be returning to Dove Meadow time and time again!

They were wonderful hosts. The camp site was beautiful, and very close to the sea and the town. We had travelled to England for a wedding and when we arrived at Dove Meadows, we realized we'd left luggage containing my bridesmaid dress and my boyfriend's suit on the bus from Penzance. The owner helped me call the bus station's lost and found, and they actually drove us back into town so we could check for the luggage at the bus station. Had he not, we would have missed our opportunity. We were able to catch the exact bus (complete LUCK!) and rescue the luggage. Then they drove us back to the campsite. We could not be more grateful for this - they took such great care of us.
The campsite was a good place to call home while in the area, being well-situated, with clean bathrooms and very pretty landscaping. The campsite was quiet at night, and in the morning, we were awakened to all kinds of lovely bird sounds. They also gave us a tip about a great pub in a nearby town, and we walked there and enjoyed a memorable afternoon drinking excellent local beers. We highly recommend Dove Meadows - thanks to them for everything!

Quiet small site, 3 toilets 2 showers which are cleaned often.
Pub, beach shops all in a 5 minute walk of site,
This is not a site with a clubhouse; but is a nice quiet site local to the beach, pubs, etc
Friendly site owners who are very helpful if you need it, they have a wide range of units, they have power to a lot of pitches, most are level or a slight slope grassy. Pitches are of a good size.

Great location - short walk down a country lane from the beach and town centre. Very pretty planting on the way into the site.
Friendly owners and wardens.
Facilities did the job - showers and loos clean. Take a few 50p pieces with you for the shower, especially if you have long hair - shower finished mid-washing out hair, and you have to go outside the room to insert a new coin - I had, of course, also managed to leave the other 50p in the motorhome!
Filling up with water and disposing of chemical waste all worked fine.
We got stuck trying to drive out of grass covered pitch with a very back heavy motorhome, but very friendly fellow campers came to our aide and we were soon on the move again, and knew to park on more of an angle next time.
Marazion and the surrounding areas so wonderful with so much to do and see that we had not looked for a site with lots of on site activities - just wanted somewhere nice to sleep, and this site was perfect for our needs.
