Resisting the pull, are two farms on the edge of the village, both owned by members of an old-school Cornish family, the Roskillys. The north-east hillside is home to their ice cream farm and the organic dairy herd that supplies it. The south-west hillside is home to Coverack Camping, with a pleasant footpath connecting the two. Caravans and campers have been making their way to Coverack Camping at Penmarth Farm for half a century, attracted by the valley views and sea glimpses the place provides. Established by Ben and Georgia Roskilly, it’s now being run by the next generation; nephew Jake and his partner Annette. They have introduced 4 x Celtic Longhouse Tents & a Celtic Pod Tent and upgraded the facilities with lots of conveniently place compost toilets place around the various small meadows, refurbished solar thermal shower (electric backup) and a washing area, freezer for ice blocks, covered picnic area with wi fi and USB phone charging points. Basic facilities, everything you need but nothing you don't. Pitches are pre-allocated and set across a number of small hedged paddocks. There are 8 x EHU pitches on gravel standings, all other pitches are grass with countryside views, some with see views. Parking is alongside the pitches grass pitches where electric hook-up is possible. The real glory of this place is that it’s the closest campsite to the village. It’s a five-minute walk via a private valley to the sand and shingle beach that low tide reveals at Coverack and to its little harbour. The village has all the basics; a shop, fish and chips and somewhere to windsurf, hire kayaks and paddleboards. You can walk from here on the South West Coast Path or drive 30 minutes to the UK’s most southerly spot at spectacular Lizard Point. And, don’t forget, for a taste of Roskillys organic ice cream you only have to hike over to the next hill. It’s a couple of miles from the campsite and a visit also offers a look round the farm. Cows, countryside, coast and ice cream... the staples of a holiday in Cornwall are here in spades – or should that be scoops? ## Highlights - **Best Hipcamps in South West England:** Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2026. - **Best in South West England: 3rd place:** Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023. - **Annette is a Star Host:** Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences. ## Amenities - **Amenities:** Pets, Potable water, Toilets, Campfires, Showers, Trash, Cooking equipment, Picnic table, Wifi - **RV amenities:** Electricity Hookup - **Activities:** Biking, Boating, Fishing, Hiking, Paddling, Wind sports, Surfing, Swimming, Wildlife watching - **Terrain:** Beach, River, stream, or creek, Swimming hole, Coastal, Field, Farm ## Sites - **Distant Sea View Pitches (9)** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £20.00/night) - **Grass Pitches Upper Meadow (2)** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £18.00/night) - **EHU Gravel Pitches Main Field (8)** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £23.00/night) - **Grass Pitches Lower Meadow (5)** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £18.00/night) - **Celtic Pod Tent 12** (safari-tent, up to 4 guests, £33.00/night) - **Donkey Field Grass Pitch** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £18.00/night) - **Grass Pitches Bay Field (2)** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £18.00/night) - **Grass Pitches Ben's Field (5)** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £18.00/night) - **Grass Pitches Main Field (7)** (rv-tent, up to 6 guests, £18.00/night) - **Celtic Longhouse Tent 4** (safari-tent, up to 6 guests, £75.00/night) - **Celtic Pod Tent MINI 51A** (glamping-pod, up to 2 guests, £28.00/night) - **Celtic Pod Tent MINI51B** (glamping-pod, up to 2 guests, £28.00/night) - **Walker Pitches (5)** (tents, up to 2 guests, £12.00/night) - **Celtic Longhouse Tent 1** (safari-tent, up to 6 guests, £75.00/night) - **Celtic Longhouse Tent 2** (safari-tent, up to 6 guests, £75.00/night) - **Celtic Longhouse Tent 3** (safari-tent, up to 6 guests, £75.00/night) ## Recent reviews > Exactly as listed, basic but that’s all we needed. > > - Kevin B., October 4, 2026 > Very basic showers and toilets. Toilets are compost which I personally found a bit gross as they are dirty as they obviously don’t flush also they are not cleaned, with huge spiders webs in all. In the summer heat this made me not want to use them or at least have a shower afterwards if it was urgent. There is a very nice hotel in coverack called the bay hotel which we ended up using for meals & toilets. Showers only stay on for 5 seconds which makes it impossible to effectively clean. There is also no reception or welcome upon arrival so overall I would rate this 2/5 in terms of facilities an… > > - Si K., August 15, 2026 > Location was great.
