About Coverack Camping
Perched on gentle slopes above the Lizard Peninsula, Coverack Camping spreads across seven named fields – from the coveted Sea View pitches overlooking the coast to the sheltered Donkey Field and quieter meadows – plus a clutch of dog-friendly Celtic pod and longhouse tents for those after canvas with a bit more character. Campfires are allowed, which adds a lovely evening atmosphere, and the site's relaxed, family-run feel wins consistent praise from visitors who appreciate the warm welcome and unpretentious vibe.
The facilities are straightforward rather than fancy – showers, loos, hook-ups in the main field – and some regulars note they can feel a touch tired in places, but most agree the setting and friendly management more than compensate. With the picturesque fishing village of Coverack a short stroll away and the dramatic coastal paths of the Lizard on your doorstep, it's an honest, well-loved base for exploring one of Cornwall's quieter corners.

What visitors say
We absolutely loved Coverack Campsite. The pitches are enormous and really well spaced. The eco loos are fab, the views are amazing and the kitchen / shower / picnic block is brilliant too. We were a big family of 13 across 3 pitches so we had the back of Donkey field and it was the ideal spot. So close to lovely beaches and walks. Really friendly and helpful owners too. We would definitely recommend and will definitely go back.

Lovely quiet campsite, particularly mid week. Large pitches and a variety of fields make this campsite special. Eco loos worked well and showers always warm and clean. We found the freezer particularly useful for ice blocks and usb charging points brilliant as I’d forgotten apple plug. A very handy community kettle and washing up facilities were much appreciated. We stayed an extra night as we were very happy there. Friendly host who warned us about possible thunderstorm and wind and kindly offered a pod if we needed it. We didn’t as our tent was fine. We hadn’t used our tent for over ten years but our motorhome was being repaired and we wanted to make the most of the good weather. I understand that we offered considerable free entertainment taking it down!

We had the loveliest 3 days at Penmarth Farm Campsite. The perfect for what we needed (an escape from the crazy St Ives crowds for a few days!). The site was simple, but had everything we needed. We have never seen such generous sized pitches and it had such a lovely relaxed vibe. I was pleasantly surprised by the compost toilets- so clean and not at all smelly despite the heatwave! Great idea! The walk down to Coverack gave some welcome shade, the kids loved being able to run ahead without the worry of a road. Had some lovely chats with Sam, who was so nice and made us feel really welcome. We'll definitely be back!

I have camped here multiple times over the last few years and will certainly be back again. A well laid out and maintained campsite, with basic but clean facilities and has everything you need. It never feels crowded as the pitches are spacious and only along the edge of the fields, so that a lot of open space remains in the middle of the fields. Great location just a short walk to beautiful Coverack and one of my absolute favourite beaches in walking distance too. Great base for exploring the Lizard peninsula!
