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.

Celtic Pod safari tent (four person)

Liked We spent four wonderful days at this campsite. It’s in a very convenient location, with everything you need within walking distance. The village is beautiful, there are a couple of lovely beaches nearby, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

This was my first camping experience in many years—I hadn’t stayed at a campsite since I was a child. Thanks in large part to Coverack Camping, I’m sure I’ll be returning to this kind of holiday in the future.

Liked Perfect, relaxed site, we were in a campervan on non electric, beautiful sea views and total chill.
Very warm welcome and wonderful stay
Short walk down to the village where you can find great pasties and the best pub garden in England, if not the world.
Totally wonderful stay thank you team Coverack, we will be back 😀

Celtic Longhouse 2 bedroom safari tent

Liked Quiet, wild camping. Great set up. Like the communal area. Clean showers. Loved the safari tent, perfect! Location perfect!

Disliked The no noise policy. We wouldn't play loud music but like to enjoy respectful levels of music.

Recommend to friends Visit again
