Coverack Camping

There are thirteen compost toilets and 3 Male urinals individually located around the site (four female, four male and five unisex). A shower block with six solar thermal heated showers (with electric back up), a washing area and a covered picnic area with USB plugins for mobile phones and plug sockets for cool boxes. WiFi and good 4G coverage is available.

Coverack village and beach can be accessed from the campsite off-road by a valley walk (Lovers Walk). The village has all the essentials including The Cove Stores, Archies Loft, Paris Hotel (pub above theharbour), Lifeboat House, the Bay Hote, The Seine Loft and the Old Mill Shop.

The main attractions are the harbour and beach and water sports centre at the Harbour. A short drive away there is an excellent restaurant at Roskillys.

We, Jake and Annette Roskilly have been very fortunate to inherit this well-established campsite from Jake's uncle and aunt, Ben and Georgia. Jake was born here and has lived and worked most of his life on the Roskilly Ice Cream Farm.

Annette is German and has lived in Frankfurt, a massive change of lifestyle for Annette from working as a care home manager to helping run a campsite. Note from Jake "It only took 30 years of courtship to persuade Annette how wonderful I was, then love brought her to Coverack!"

We took over the campsite in 2021 and realised our campers wanted plenty of space with good basic facilities. For us, it was important not to change the character while making the campsite as eco-friendly and as close to nature as possible.

As luck would have it, we met Sam (Samantha) and Zack who offered to help get the campsite up and running, they are still with us helping out each summer and are now an integral part of the running of the site.

The campsite as it was, was definitely no frills. Ben encouraged his campers to bring tool kits for maintenance purposes! He was a real character and people loved him for it. Over the past 60 years, many regular campers have been returning year after year to this great location just above Coverack village.

We are proud of our wild hedges and have been extensively planting native trees and bushes to enhance and create shelter. We love our campsite without artificial light at night, you can see the Milky Way, hear the owls calling and the sound of the sea in the background. We hope you enjoy this close to wild camping experience.

It truly is a blessing to have met such a varied and interesting group of people at the campsite. Here's to many more memories and connections to be made. Jake and Annette
