What customers say
Coverack Farm Camping offers a peaceful, eco-friendly retreat with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Visitors praise the spacious pitches, cleanliness of facilities, and convenient walking distance to Coverack beach and pubs. While some found the showers lacking in heat and the compost toilets basic, the overall experience is highly recommended for its beautiful setting and thoughtful arrangement.

Bay Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Everything was excellent. Quiet and peaceful with great views . Showers and compost loos were good. Sam was a very friendly host, who gave us a 'laid back' impression. Will definitely like to return at some point if we're camping on the lizard.

Liked We had a lovely stay at Coverack Farm Camping. The toilets and showers were very clean, and the location is beautiful and peaceful. The wooden pod was excellent to sleep in — comfortable and cosy. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, which made the stay even better. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay again.

Really happy with our stay and the friendly welcome.
Main Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Loved the booking and self service check in. Knowing which pitch was allocated rather than feeling I was arriving unexpectedly.
The lovely warm welcome when we were greeted in person to check we’d settled. The relaxed atmosphere and facilités.
Aldo as it was quiet we weren’t told not to rush. We know that campsites have to turn things around and getting out can be a stress on the last day. So we appreciated taking our time.
Will definitely come back.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

From the manager: Hi Julie
In response to your review. We market our selves as a basic eco friendly, back to nature campsite in a great location just above Coverack bay with good basic facilities. If you are looking for an up market campsite with loads of facilities this is probably not the campsite for you. Re Wi Fi, we have good reception around the covered area but this does not extend around the campsite as the campsite is spread out over a large area to give campers plenty of space. We have very good 5g reception as the campsite is in site of the 5g mast. Walk under foot uneven ? We don't really get. But thank you for your review.

The Celtic pod was a great upgrade to our two man tent!

Liked Lovely position, felt suitably on our own. Having outside seating and a picnic bench was much appreciated. Plus a wood fire if we had arrived in time to order the wood (before 6pm)
