  • Tiny pet-friendly site in the grounds of a quiet Cornish farm
  • A mile and a half from Penzance; Marazion 10 minutes' drive
  • Farm produce, water supply, recycling points and waste disposal
For somewhere to stop while wending your way westwards to the end of Cornwall, try Fox Farm Motorhome Park, a well-maintained, intimate site set in the grounds of a small farm a mile and a half from Penzance town centre. It won't take you long to get out and see the local wildlife here – this site is located on the edge of an area of outstanding natural beauty on the sparsely populated Penwith Peninsula. This Cornish spot has a very small number of secluded pitches, all of which are spacious and level. Amenities at this low-key spot include practical features like a water supply via a spring borehole, recycling points and chemical disposal facilities. There's also a small on-site farm shop where you can pick up fresh local fruit and vegetables. Well-behaved dogs are welcome but please keep them on leads, as this is a working farm. Open barbecues are allowed too, but the owners would appreciate it if quiet hours could be respected after 10pm. This site feels peaceful and out of the way but is easily accessible from the main road, which can get you down into Penzance with roughly a five-minute drive. There are several beaches here (including a fair number of dog-friendly options), as well as a railway station, bars, restaurants and supermarkets.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely little site for campervans or motorhomes. Wonderfully situated just outside of Penzance, perfect for a short trip across the moors into St Ives, a 10 minute drive to St Michael's Mount and everywhere else you fancy going is super easy. Loads of nearby supermarkets for filling up your cupboards and very reasonable priced fuel. Your host is lovely, super helpful and friendly. Nothings too much trouble. Showers and toilets were clean and water hot. I'll definitely be going back.

This was a quiet site that suited us for one night.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Secluded pitches, in a quiet location. There is a walk that starts virtually from the site down to St Michael's Mount. The showers and toilets are clean, spacious and have hot water.

Disliked No photo signal (EE, 02 and Smarty), but thats not the campsites fault.

Recommend to friends Visit again

After disappointing first opinion, enjoyed the stay.

Local attractions

Drive 10 minutes down the road to Marazion to see the iconic St Michael's Mount and to explore two sandy beaches, or walk there from Penzance (two miles) along an almost entirely level traffic-free path. Other local outdoor attractions you won't want to miss include the Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (10 minutes' drive), where modern art meets panoramas over the sea, and The Minack Theatre (25 minutes), an open-air events space with regular shows in a spectacular clifftop setting. Finding yourself in St Ives (20 minutes) is another popular option, as this artsy north coast town is home to a Tate art gallery, a pottery centre and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. For something a bit grittier (although without leaving behind the fantastic scenery), there's also the Geevor Tin Mine (20 minutes), where you can discover three centuries of Cornish industrial heritage. Hopping back over to the south coast, you're also within day-tripping distance of Falmouth and King Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle (50 minutes), while just driving west will take you straight to the Land's End Landmark Attraction (25 minutes) where you can look out over the Atlantic.
