Coverack Camping at Penmarth Farm is a peaceful, eco-friendly site with small, sheltered meadows above the fishing village of Coverack on the Lizard Heritage Coast. Surrounded by native plants and animals, it has access to a private five-minute valley walk to Coverack. In Coverack, there are most of the usual essential amenities, including a village shop, pub, takeaway and restaurant, as well as a harbour and a sandy beach. In the village, hire out a kayak or paddleboard to spend some time on the water if you wish. As an eco site, Coverack Camping at Penmarth Farm has many conveniently placed compost toilets and solar thermal showers. The large pitches have plenty of space, and campfires are also welcome. The farm is also a 15-minute drive from Kennack Sands and half an hour from Kynance Cove if you want to track down more beaches.

Walker Pitch on Upper Meadow non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars)

Liked Easy to check in, with info on a whiteboard on arrival. Good access from the southwest coast path - not too far off the trail. Clean facilities. Quiet, not too busy - visiting early June. We had a very level pitch.

Disliked Very basic facilities - compost toilets, and showers that you have to keep pressing to run.

Celtic Pod safari tent

Liked The site was really lovely, clean and well maintained. The Celtic tent we stayed in was really warm and cozy, and much bigger than we expected. The toilet and shower facilities were again, very clean and well looked after, we’ll definitely be trying to get down and visit again. Thank you!
