 My sister and I loved Dove Meadows. The staff are very friendly and helpful. You can order milk and other basics to be delivered the next day.
The site is clean, well maintained and well organised for current COVID regulations. Can’t comment on bathroom facilities obviously! 16 amp EHU.
Location is superb, flat walk to beach and St Michael’s Mount. Kite surfing and paddle boarders were having a blast! Bus stops in both directions. From Penzance bus station take the A17 to St Ives.
I will definitely be back to Dove Meadows, with my husband next time.
A brilliant place to explore from, or to have a beach holiday.

Great location, 200 yds from Marazion beach and easy walk to town.
Very friendly with CV19 regulations well sorted.
Site was very clean and made a conscious effort to encourage recycling.

Stayed at Dove Meadows for 4 nights and found it to be fantastic.
Everyone really friendly and helpful and site very Covid safe. We were in our motorhome so didn't use the facilities so can't comment on those however copious amounts of sanitiser around the site including around the water and waste disposal areas.
Site is immaculately kept. Nice spacing and hedges between pitches which provides shelter. A lot of pitches not completely level so ramps needed if in a van.
Great location just opposite one end of Long Rock Beach. You walk out from the road leading to the site and you are looking directly at St Michaels Mount.
Long Rock Beach had dog restrictions lifted from 1st September so great to walk on this beautiful beach any time of day and despite lovely weather it was really quiet.
Marazion has a few shops, pubs and restaurants. There is only one shop for provisions which had all the basics you need but if you want more choice there is a Morrisons, Sainsburys and Tesco all next to each other about a mile or so along the road towards Penzance.
Bus service along the coast takes you both ways however the walk in to Penzance is easy and flat along a pedestrian walk way or the beach and is about 2 miles.
Lots of shops, pubs etc in Penzance and can highly recommend The Dolphin opposite Penzance Harbour. We ate there twice as it was so good. Really good food, service and dog friendly.
We will definitely return to Dove Meadows!

Fairly level site but may need ramps (we did). Very clean and well kept, no shop but plenty within easy distance. Site managers are helpful and knowledgeable.
Biggest drawback was very basic gents loos and showers - only three and no hot water to WHBs. Showers cost 50p a go but they were piping hot. Ladies more updated in timber built block but could be queues in busy periods. Be prepared to make more use of your own facilities I think. Waste disposal points at waist level so empty regularly unless you want to do some body building!
Having said all that, the site location is terrific, 5 minutes walk from the beach & an RSPB reserve and 10/15 minutes into town with fantastic views across the bay to St Michael's Mount.
The cycle way runs across the top of the beach all the way to Penzance and on to Mousehole and there's the NCN to Hayle (and on to the Godrevy light house) that runs from the site itself.
All in all, very difficult to beat, would certainly visit again.

Lovely campsite in a fantastic location.
Only a short walk to the beach and town.
Nicely landscaped, with clean showers and toilets.
Clear signs for bins etc. Will be back.

Stayed here for one week. Perfect location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Well located site. Somewhat uneven pitches in the majority of the site. I am told the ladies facilities were very clean and modern.
The Gents was VERY clean but very dated. With no hand drying facilities. Would we recommend it? Would we return? Absolutely. In fact we plan to return for two weeks next year. Thanks for a great stay.

Our 2nd year at this site for 2 nights. Basic but clean and friendly - big downside however is no hot water or light in the really poor washing up area.
15 minute walk eastwards into Marazion for St Michaels Mount. Slightly longer alongside the beach westwards to the great dog-friendly beach at Long Rock towards Penzance.
Special mention for the superb fish and chip van visiting site - Saturday if we recall correctly.

We really enjoyed out stay at Dove Meadows, it is a lovely peaceful site with nice big pitches separated by planting. The managers of the site and owners were helpful and friendly and the location cannot be beaten, being just a short stroll from the beach and Marazion.
The facilities were nice and clean but there is room for improvement in the gents. The only downside for us was that there was no hot water for washing up, which having camped years I find very odd, even at the most basic of sites there is usually hot water to wash up.
As we were in a tent this caused some issues for us as it was difficult to wash our pots, also we have a toddler who needed milk cups etc washing and everything was left feeling not quite clean.
In addition the pot wash is next to and shares a drain with the chemical disposal, and in the words of my 2 year old 'it stinks' not great to be washing your breakfast posts with someone emptying their weekends ablutions four feet away.
However, the majority of visitors to the site were in caravans and motor homes, which I suppose have their own hot water. And so washing up is not an issue for them. I would certainly return to this site, but hopefully when we have upgraded to a caravan (we are getting to old for camping now anyway!)

Spent two nights here in mid August. Cost for a grass pitch with hookup was £24 per night which I think is a bit high for the standard of site.
Approach road to the site is a little tight but not really an issuei. The welcome from the wardens was warm and very chatty, even coming for a look around our van as they were looking to chage their own.
The site is quite small and quite with areas of 6-8 pitches separated by hedges. All pitches are grass, well drained and predominantly flat. There is a new ladies facilities block which is excellent, the mens are part of the main house and a bit older but clean and perfectly adequate although with only two showers there is sometimes a queue in the mornings. Showers are 50p for 5 mins.
There is only one fresh water fill up, grey water and chemical dump area near the reception hut on arrival which is slightly limiting, the grey water particularly is not ideal as it is a slight distance and uphill from of where you have to park - we didn't bother.
Location wise the site is all about St Michael's Mount and It's an easy 10 minute walk into Marazion and the causeway/ferries (£2 each way for adults). The Mount itself with the catsle and the gardens is excellent and well worth a visit but like all National Trust properties expensive if you are not a member. We arrived around 10:00 and although busy it was bearable, by the time we left at around 13:00 it was heaving so plan to get there as early as possible to avoid the crowds. Penzance is a pleasant 1 hour walk along the sea wall pathway but as a town it's disappointing with little charm.
Overall although I think the site is overpriced it was nice and a perfect location for the Mount and we would probably use again if we were in the area and wanted to walk in.

Nice little site with very friendly wardens/owners. Easy walk into Marazion but you need a torch after dark. Slightly sloping grass pitches which strangely are overlooked by some houses.
Ladies facilities looked new, but showers needed 50p to use & were according to my wife, lukewarm & feeble. Gents, pretty awful but being updated it seems. Some road noise from behind but not too intrusive.
