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.

Main Field powered grass and gravel site

Liked: Beautiful, natural, rustic camp site. Really felt we could enjoy the countryside and being away from it all. The facilities are rustic, the showers are hot and you can listen to birds tweeting whilst sitting in the loo. A friendly chap cycled round each day to check we had what we needed, the rest of the time we were free to do what we want - a stark contrast to the over manicured sites, where you feel like battery chickens sitting in rows organised by over zealous managers!

Upper Meadow unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: What a beautiful campsite!!!! We had a fabulous time. Lovely big pitch, plenty of space even when really busy. Very attentive and friendly staff. Lots of info about the area on display. Facilities were always clean and plenty of toilets all over the site. Handy charging stations and big freezer were of great help. Loved the location with lots of walks straight from camp and only 10/15 min from Coverack village and beach.
