Dove Meadows Campsite

26/10/2026

And we are all done for 2026!
Claire and Graham waved off our last departures for the year before closing the gates. But the work doesn’t stop there….with 10 tonnes of top soil arriving tomorrow!

The bookings diary is open all winter and we take bookings all year around so drop us a line on the enquiry form for next year.

Massive thanks as always goes to our wardens. This year’s team: Graham and Claire, and Alison and Jason (over the peak months). They all work tirelessly to make sure everyone had everything they need and to keep the site in immaculate conditions. Thanks so much guys, we salute you! 🙏🏻

But the main stars of the show will always be you guys - our customers! Loyal and new, we love you all and can’t wait to see what the 2027 season begins!

Have a happy and restful winter all! 🕊️

Public announcement : Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 September

Forecast stormy seas mean our ferry boats will not operate on Tuesday or Wednesday. The island will be open while the causeway is uncovered, so you can visit on foot during the times below.

Tuesday 29 September
Island open: 12 noon–3.30pm
Last Castle admission: 2.15pm
St Michael’s Day church service: now starting at 12.30pm

Wednesday 30 September
Island open: 12.30pm–4pm
Last Castle admission: 2.45pm

While you’re here, you can also visit the Steward’s House Art Gallery, Barge House Visitor Centre, Café, Harbour Loft Restaurant, Mount Shop and Island Shop.

If you can visit during these times, or on another open day up to and including Sunday 4 October, you can use your existing tickets. There’s no need to rebook.

Any tickets unused by the end of Sunday 4 October will be refunded in full on Monday 5 October. Refunds should reach the original payment accounts within 5–7 business days.

We’re sorry if these changes affect your visit. As a tidal island, access is governed by the sea, and sometimes conditions mean our boats can’t run.

And just like that, the beast is back on the road!
Alison, Jason and Syrus have joined us in this magnificent beast over the summer season and took on the role of our summer wardens. They now return to Wales for the winter and we hope you will all join us in wishing them all the best! Thankyou guys! Bora Da!

A few days ago, we joined our fellow campsite owners in the local area by banning bbqs and flamed ovens on site due to increased risk of fires, after 2 massive wildfires in the local area within 12 hours of each other. One resulted in a holiday park being totally evacuated.

We are grateful to the government for now officially enforcing this with the national alert issued on 14th August. It’s just not worth the risk.
Our thoughts are with the residents of Stourbridge.

Thank you to our lovely customers who are always supportive and understanding 🕊️

Well, it’s official. Also, scared the living daylights out of us all! But it did the job it was supposed to do I guess!

Blimey did you hear that just now 🤣

Millions of people across England and Wales are receiving an emergency alert on their phones, warning against lighting anything that could spark a wildfire, including barbecues, campfires, and fireworks, the Cabinet Office said.

It comes as Andy Burnham has called in the military, announced a ban on disposable barbecues and warned smokers not to risk setting light to “tinderbox” Britain as he scrambled to respond to the summer heatwave and wildfires.

The Prime Minister also revealed he planned to commission firefighting planes, as used to douse flames in Europe and the US, to combat the spread of wildfires.

12/08/2026

After relentless months of dry weather and now 2 massive wildfires within 12 hours, we are making the decision to ban all naked flames on site.
We hope all of our customers will be understanding of this decision - the risk now is just too high.

We already do not allow campfires or fires pits but this now extends to:
🔥coal bbqs
🔥disposable bbqs
🔥wood burning ovens
🔥any method that entails lighting a flame

Gas bbqs are still allowed but please be extra vigilant and make sure hot grills are kept away from the grass and have a methods of extinguishing the unit close to hand.

Thank you for your support and please don’t hesitate to check with us if you have any worry’s or concerns

Upon arrival we orientated guests to site so please make sure you know where to find the fire equipment, alert systems, and fire assembly point.

Our warm, dry conditions are set to continue after a potential rain shower or two! We're still advising our residents and visitors:

✅ Avoid barbecues and bonfires
✅ Extinguish ci******es completely and dispose of safely
✅ Pack a picnic or pasty instead
✅ Take your rubbish home

10/08/2026

🚨🙏 In light of the good weather forecast and a hosepipe ban across Cornwall, we're asking our residents and visitors to be extra vigilant:

✅ Avoid barbecues or lighting fires of any kind, especially in or near areas that are already dry
✅ Always ensure that when discarding ci******es they are completely extinguished
✅ Pack a picnic or better still, grab a pasty from your local baker!

Big love and massive respect to our friends over the fields at Trevedra who have been tasked with dealing with a wild fire. 🔥 a reminder to all how dry the bracken and grasses are and how quickly wild fires can spread.

We’d like to firstly give our thanks to the local fire services that have been dealing with the wildfire, they’ve worked day and night over the last few days to protect everyone and contain the fire. We would also like to thank our guests for their patience and cooperation during this time. Although it was acres away from Trevedra and it was monitored around the clock, it is evidence of why we have specific pitching instructions and how important it is that we remind you that camp fires are not permitted on site. BBQ’s with charcoal only, are to be raised off the ground, with a bucket of water at hand. Although we’re all enjoying the heatwave, the ground is very dry and the public are advised to be especially vigilant.
