About Coverack Camping at Penmarth Farm
Tucked into sheltered meadows above the Lizard Heritage Coast, this peaceful eco site wins fans for its spacious pitches, pristine compost loos and genuinely hot solar showers. A private valley footpath delivers you to Coverack's harbour, sandy beach and village amenities in just five minutes, while the South West Coast Path beckons in both directions. Campfires crackle across the fields after dark, and there's room for everything from backpackers on the car-free upper meadow to motorhomes seeking those sea-view pitches.
The friendly team keep things relaxed and great value, though in high summer you'll share the magic with plenty of others. Beyond Coverack itself, strike out for the golden arc of Kennack Sands or the serpentine cliffs at Kynance Cove, both less than half an hour by car.

What visitors say
Has a lovely night at this campsite in the walkers section on a trip walking some of the south west coast path. Lovely to be with the other walkers. Great facilities including being able to charge my phone which was a bonus. Loved them composting toilets particularly the cute signs. The inside area would be really useful if it was wet and was a nice communal area. I’d return on foot or in my van

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!

Excellent site! Stayed before and after a few days hiking along the coast path. The campsite is great. Excellent location for local pub and cafe plus close to the beach. The site feels really homely and I enjoyed my stay there. Sam was super friendly and a great help so special thanks to her. Will definitely recommend and visit again.
