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.

Main Field powered grass and gravel campsite

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😊

Amazing value for money!! Safari pod tent was clean, housed us well and was in good condition, it was actually bigger on the inside than we expected! Would recommend

Main Field powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked Location and relaxation of the site. Despite having no reception or greeting communication was OK from the owner

Disliked Very basic facilities and the eco toilets where you smell and visibility look at other people's faeces in the toilet. Then have minimal hand-wash facilities, bars of soap and 5 second showers at the end of the day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed our peaceful location, but we are sorry the facilities did not meet your expectations.

As a dedicated basic eco-campsite, as advertised, our facilities are designed specifically to minimize environmental impact, including our timed, water-saving showers. We pride ourselves on the overall cleanliness of our facilities, our attention to detail, and the high level of care we put into the campsite. Our composting toilets with urine separation are cleaned regularly, with regular waste disposal and ample supplies of sawdust always available for guest use.

We do try to outline these eco-features clearly in our listing so guests know exactly what to expect before booking.

Local attractions

Get a taste of the surf at the Kennack Sands (15 minutes’ drive) surf school, then sculpt sandcastles on Gunwalloe’s fishing cove (20 minutes) or go snorkelling and rockpooling at the National Trust’s Kynance Cove (half an hour). 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. St Michael’s Mount (40 minutes) is another grand spot, accessible by tidal causeway. There’s a big cocktail of things to do in the area, from the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (15 minutes) to Falmouth’s gardens, port and maritime museum (40 minutes). Gardens also have their place – there’s the botanical Trebah Garden (35 minutes) or Eden Project's biomes (an hour and 20 minutes) further out.
