Upper Meadow non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved our short stay at Coverack Camping. The owner took the time to visit and great us for a chat, a personal touch we appreciated. The facilities may not be for everybody but are fabulous as far as we were concerned. Why don't more sites use eco-toilets?
The pitch was great. we had a huge choice as it's no longer high season. The walk to Coverack through the woods was a delight, as is Coverack itself. We would highly recommend the site to anybody who doesn't require shaved grass and flush loos. The peace was fabulous, as was the site rule for quiet times in the late evening. There is lots top see and do without travelling about and we will definitely return soon. Thanks for such a lovely and peaceful stay.

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

Liked We only stayed one night as we are walking the coast path but we loved our stay. The campsite had a very friendly feel and we loved all the eco credentials. The cheerful, upbeat notices amused us! And we were so appreciative of the kettle. The covered area with picnic benches was very useful. The location was great - very handy for the fabulous Roskilly’s. Thank you for having us.

Main Field electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Short walk into Coverack

Disliked Small pitches, felt like we were squeezed into our pitch between another campervan with a huge awning and on the other side there was a large tent with a car parked next to it. We felt we had to socialise with our neighbours as they were so close. Curiously there were a number if empty EHU pitches not far from where we had been allocated.

Main Field electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked A super cool camping spot! The toilets and showers were very good and the walk to the beach was lovely. We had a lovely little robin pop by our camp every now and then and we were lucky enough to see bats showing off as it got dark, couldn’t have had a nicer time😊
