We stayed at Dove Meadows for a week in our caravan. We found the site easily from the directions given-there is a very sharp bend to access the road but once in the site manoeuvrability is easy.
The site is approx. 10 minutes walk to the beach, St. Michaels Mount and Marazion village, which comprises of lovely shops, pubs and places to wander.
The site itself has good points and not so good points:
Positives:
*Excellent location
*Friendly owners/staff
*Pitches are well spaced
*Well maintained
*Child friendly
*Away from the road
Negatives:
*Only 2 showers and cost 50p (this was not advertised on website), always a queue!
*Only 3 unisex toilets for whole site (always a queue!)
*No separate sinks for washing, only tiny basins in toilet cubicle.
*Shower/toilet facilities started off clean in the morning but by lunchtime were filthy.
*No hot water in the pot wash.
Things to be aware of:
*Lots of children on site-this equated to lots of noise, especially in the evenings. We were unlucky enough to be the other side of the hedge to a large group which played music (and bongos!) constantly well into the evening.
*The chemical waste was adjacent to pitches.
*If you get a pitch the wrong side of the hedge you will have no sun after 4pm. The site was East/West facing.
Overall, a pretty site in an excellent location but in view of the poor facilities (which we never used and made do with our caravan facilities, ) £20 p/n was too much. We will definitely visit this area again but will shop around for a site that is better value for money.
This site is great. The owners are lovely & so helpful along with the wardens who help on site. The shower facilities are limited if you're looking for a five star luxury block, but if you want adequate shower/wc facilities on a fantastic, well kept site in an outstanding area with friendly owners, this is the place to come. After all, isn't camping mainly about the surroundings, which being about a ten minute walk from the St Michaels mount causeway is a top place to be. We enjoyed ourselves so much for two weeks last year, we've booked for three weeks next year. Can't wait!
On arrival to dove meadows we had a lovely welcome from the site wardens and the owner.
Nothing was too much trouble for them, we had arrived early and we were able to leave the caravan and truck parked up while we went for breakfast and they even cut the grass before we pitched up! ringing us at the cafe to let us know the pitch was ready!
Very pretty site, clean, well kept, spacious pitches. 5 minutes walk to the beach and a couple of minutes more into town.
If we went back to marazion we would definitely stay at this site. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone and its very competitively priced.
Many thanks to leighton the site warden for the use of his wardrobe pole to adjust the aerial for my other half to get reception on the tv for the Olympics. He really saved the day!
I wish all sites, owners and site wardens were as nice as this. It made our stay a great one.
A great site in a great location. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The site is well-kept and peaceful. Marazion is beautiful, and the beach is great, with fantastic views. Transport links are good, buses go to Penzance and there are links to St Ives and Land's End, and we also took a trip to the Isles of Scilly. We visited in 2011 and were so impressed we returned for a longer stay in 2012.
Very friendly & helpful from booking on the telephone to sorting out our arrival on site.
The site used to be a CS (Camping & Caravanning Club which could only have 5 units on site). It has been expanded. There are electric hookups & tent pitches without electric.
There are only 2 unisex showers & 3 unisex toilets which was not a problem for us as this was not high season. The previous problems with cleanliness mentioned on the previous review appeared to have been rectified. The shower costs 50p but we found the paid time adequate. We also found the cubicle size adequate.
Site is very well laid out & attractive with hedges dividing the various areas. The pitch we were on is slightly sloping but we did not find this a problem with appropriate levelling.
Excellent dog walk at the end of the lane once you have turned right out of the site. The beach is brilliant but sadly dogs are not allowed on it during the day from May to September. No playground area or similar on the site for kids.
All in all a great 'no frills' site but not suitable for those who prefer full facilities. Luckily this isn't us so we will use this site again.
We have been to Dove Meadows so many times and it just gets better and better, lovely friendly and always helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble. Help is always at hand,
Toilets and showers on site and they do what they are there for, tidy grounds and no playground so great, not always too many children, for the more mature generation!
I would recommend this site to anyone, the walk to the beach and St Michaels Mount is level and flat, no steep hill and a very quite lane to the main road.
We stayed at Dove Meadows as part of our surf tour of Cornwall.
Camping, we found that the site catered for our requirements.
The facilities are functional and clean. Many a pleasant conversation with site Owner and Warden were had whilst the facilities were obviously being cleaned.
The site was busy but I did not experience the queues mentioned below. The site was calm and noise did not last into the evenings
The surrounding area is incredible. Marazion, a small market town is only 10 mins walk away. St Michael's mount (the reason why we all come here) can be seen from some pitches on the site. Awesome.
The site is great value for money. When you compare it to some of the sites near St Ives you realise just how good it is.
I was really rather disappointed with this site, when on the surface it appears to be a wonderfully pretty site, but the facilities really do let it down.
Let’s start with the positives. The place is really attractive, there are hedges separating different parts of the site, pleasant planting and the ground is well cared for and of course there are views of St Michael’s Mount from some of the pitches, but only a minority of them. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, offering numerous leaflets on the area and they took us to our pitch and asked if we were happy in that location. Marazion is a pleasant little town/village and along with St Michael’s Mount is very close.
The negatives are very much facilities related, the toilets really are not up to scratch. Firstly, they are located on the end of the large house and there are just three unisex toilets and two showers and they are small. In fact they are very small, cramped almost, if you’re larger than average as I am it was quite difficult moving around inside and easily closing the door. As they were small, so the sink was small, in my opinion not enough room to wash, shave or brush your teeth in.
Secondly, the toilets were not clean, which along with the size of the sinks resulted in brushing my teeth using a cup full of water at my van. The toilets were what I call long term dirty, i. E. Hadn’t been dusted and there were cobwebs in the corners and they were short term dirty, i. E. The sinks and toilets bowls didn’t get a clean whilst I was there. The bins were open and had no swing lid on them and did not appear to be emptied during my three day stay.
The site was average price and therefore, you expect better than this. It appears from previous reviews that the toilets are generally kept clean and maybe because the owner had a bad back and could barely move was the reason they were not cleaned, however, if you can’t keep your site clean don’t take money off people, close the site or offer a discount. Plus of course it was 50p for about a five minute shower, which if I’d paid a lot less I might have accepted. There is also only one washing up sink with a cold water tap only.
I don’t like to write bad reviews as all campsites are different and have their differing charms and so does this site, but the facilities just do not do this site any favours.
Lovely well maintained little site, ideally situated for both Marazion & Penzance.
Site warden extremely pleasant and helpful.
Pitches all grass and generally level.
Due to time of year we had the place to ourselves therefore facilities were adequate, could be a different story in high season when busy, as only 2 Showers & 3 Toilets.
Marazion is a 5 minute walk away and has several restaurants/pubs - Tried them all!
Would recommend & will return!
