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

Beautiful, peaceful, well-kept eco-campsite. Spacious pitches, clean facilities (hot showers, compost loos). Fantastic rural spot, 10-15 min walk to Coverack village & coast path. Friendly, helpful staff. Some note basic showers, but overall very positive with many planning returns.

David L.

Main Field powered grass and gravel site

Liked Good size tent pitches,beautiful location, very quiet, not too far from shops and town. Friendly staff. Decent WiFi. Showers were hot. Plenty of bird life.

Disliked Showers could be set to run for longer once button is pressed. Only stays running for a couple of seconds. Lovers walk could do with some shingle/stones. It’s very muddy and slippy when it rains.

Jo W.

Sea View unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked What a super and simple (in the best sense) camp site. Facilities are spotlessly clean and sufficient for number of pitches. Basic but perfectly adequate facilities. Spacious and well laid out. Peaceful and quiet. A degree of trust on those who stay to keep it that way. Friendly Site manager ,Sam is very helpful and works hard to keep the site well run. There is a Shelter to sit and cook for those camping when raining. Picnic tables on site really handy too .

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.
