Why stay here ...
The site is in the old orchard on this family run dairy farm, partly surrounded by trees it is quiet and peaceful and you may be lucky enough to see Owls at dusk and hear them calling.
Locally at Rosudgeon there is a grocery store which also has a petrol station, post office, off licence and newspapers. The Falmouth Packet Inn, serves food and there is a Fish and Chip shop
There is direct access from the camp site to the inland footpath network which connects to the South West Coastal Footpath. Walk east to Prussia Cove and enjoy the views of Mounts Bay towards Porthleven and Praa Sands, (you may catch a glimpse of a Cornish Chough or a seal on the rocks) or go west and marvel at the views of Perranuthnoe and St Michael's Mount with the villages of Mousehole and Newlyn in the distance across Mount's Bay.
Perranuthnoe has a sandy beach, two cafés and the award winning Victoria Inn. On thursday afternoons during the summer there are cream teas with homemade cakes in the church rooms, proceeds go to the beautiful old Church.
Marazion with its sandy beach and children's play area is just a short drive away. There are several cafes and public houses serving food in Marazion and there is a doctor's surgery, a chemist, bakers and gift shops. There are ferryboats to St Michael's Mount, but it is possible to walk the causeway at low tide. Longrock beach west of Marazion is dog friendly.
Penzance about five miles away has larger shops, banks and quaint old Chaple Street which leads down to the harbour where it is possible to catch a trip boat to view the Bay from the water. The seafront Promenade links Penzance to Wherry Town and Newlyn. There is an open air swimming pool near to the Promenade.
The Scillonian Ferry sails from Penzance to the Isles of Scilly daily in summer and day trips are popular.

Our favourite place to stay
We have stayed at Chiverton Farm many times - it is safe to say it is our favourite CL. We almost don't want to share it!! We love to walk down to the beach from the site - stunning views of the sea and Mounts Bay and a great beach.... Show more

Peaceful and tranquil
Basic but lovely site on a very old dairy farm. Truly a place to wind down and enjoy the birdsong with a glass of wine in hand. Drive through the farm lane and if you are lucky you will see the farmer bring his cows in for milking the Cornish... Show more

Great site
We looked at the reviews before booking and although some were negative, we took a chance. It is a lovely quiet site and the walk over to Perranuthnoe is about 20mins with spectacular views over St Michaels mount. The owner, Anita, was very friendly and welcoming. What you need to bear in mind... Show more

Cannot recommend this site
Booked this site in January for an October visit and requested EHU and hardstanding. Rang to confirm a couple of days before arriving and was told she didn't reserve hardstandings and we had to get there early if we wanted one. Unhelpful and not mentioned when we originally booked. The... Show more

Good Location but unless you like Mud and Stagnant ponds. Wouldn’t stay again
We chose this site as our introduction to CL sites as we love the Penzance area. Arriving after 9 hours towing we turned into the lane looking forward to settling. We had read some of the reviews so were expecting a typical farm lane, however and I’ll point out... Show more

Decent location but....
Ideally situated for those wishing to visit both The Lizard and the Land's End peninsulas the site lies at the end of a 0.4 ml rather rough farm track off the A394 approximately midway between Penzance and Helston. It is therefore a quiet site mainly grass, which was rather long,... Show more

Well situated for the little gems Cornwall has to offer
A well located site for exploring the southern most part of Cornwall. Therr are plenty of nearby shops like Co-op, Sainsbury's and Tesco as well as petrol stations too. The site is generally peaceful, although, the farmer was using a bird scarer in one of the nearby fields which was... Show more

Brilliant location
We had a wonderful stay here. Pitches are spacious and so peaceful. Some lovely coastal path walks directly from the site (our favourite was the walk to marazion). There is a bus service at the entrance to the farm if you want to walk one way and bus it back.... Show more

We are just back from a long weekend at Chiverton farm. A perfect CL, quite and relaxing. The best bit has to be the 25 minute walk through woods and fields to reach the coast path. Then you have a choice to walk east or west along one of the... Show more
