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.

Ben's Field non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The peace and quiet, the plentiful showers, the recycling and chemical waste disposal.
I loved the short walk into Coverack, the Sculpture Park and a lovely sandy bay at low tide. Very easy access to the coast path.

Disliked Nothing I disliked but I didn't know that the sea views were available at a slightly higher cost which I would have paid.

Local attractions

There are art galleries in St Ives (50 minutes); a barren landscape at the Penwith Heritage Coast (an hour); and alluring coastal scenery at Land’s End (an hour) including ancient prehistoric sites and wild granite scenery. St Michael’s Mount (40 minutes) is another grand spot, accessible by tidal causeway.
