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.

What customers say

This eco-spot has loads of space and a chill vibe, super close to Coverack village and the beach. Reviews rave about the clean facilities, including the compost loos and showers, and the legends running the place. A few folks said it's basic, with shower timers and WiFi being a bit dodge, but the country setting, ocean views and coastal walks are a winner. Most reckon they'll be back!

Main Field powered grass and gravel site

Liked Friendly and welcoming site, really good communication about a late change of pitch number, loved the eco feel and were really surprised by how good the composting toilets were. 15 minutes walk down into the village… may be 20 coming back up hill!!!😁

Main Field powered grass and gravel site

Liked Went there early June so site was quiet. Lovely welcome. Pitch in the main field near toilet blocks. Pitch very level. Pretty site. Excellent eco showers and toilets. Very clean and tidy. Great location, very near to Coverack. Couldn't go to Coverack via the woods because of bad weather, but road way still very good, about 15 mins down, 20 perhaps up, with brief rest stops, we're 70. A lovely site to stay on. Will recommend it.

Bay Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

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.

Celtic Pod safari tent (two person)

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.
