Why stay here ...

We have been running Specky Wood C.L for many years and thoroughly enjoy welcoming back regular visitors (some of whom have been coming back year after year) as well as introducing new club members to this unspoilt part of Cornwall. Our 1.5 acre site is flat, has easy access and the grass is kept short. It is a well maintained, secluded, spacious site set in the quiet hamlet of Trevothan about 1 mile from Coverack.

Coverack is a beautiful Cornish fishing village with an unrushed, relaxing quality about it. There is a picturesque harbour, thatched cottages and many other attractions including a sandy beach (at low tide), rock pools to explore, windsurfing school, a popular pub, general village store, restaurants, cafes as well as speciality shops and a gallery. The village Website is certainly worth looking at, with information on what’s on and more details about the above attractions.

We are in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and are conveniently positioned for the S.W coastal path. There are many attractions locally, which can be linked to if you visit our Website.

We aim to make all our visitors feel welcome and our site has a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Children and animals are allowed but we ask that dogs are kept on leads whilst on the site and dog owners are responsible.

The site is  part hardstanding

Toilets and showers on site need to be booked in advance of use, please speak to owners when booking.

We stayed for three nights as part of our coastal tour of Cornwall. Site was very peaceful and spacious, good facilities - clean and well maintained. We loved the walk into Coverack, beautiful little harbour and beach, suite a steep climb back up but well worth it.

Specky Wood
Easy access to site providing one follows the directions (compared to most Cornish sites!). Good communication on booking. Very friendly welcome with the owners obviously keeping careful watch on what is happening. Large, flat hardstanding pitch but options for grass in better weather by the looks of it. Easy access to water for vans. Facilities not used. Beautiful surrounding countryside with easy access to coast path & Terence Coventry Sculpture Park. Short walk into Coverack but steep uphill walk on the way back. Excellent CL.

We are regular visitors to Specky Wood, it's been our base near Coverack for many years. We've been twice this year and the 1st time after breaking down on A30 we didn't arrive till 10.30pm. Both of them were there to welcome us and to see if there was anything we needed. They always make you feel so welcome. There is plenty of room between pitches and they are either grass or hardstanding, it is also very tranquil. The site is spotless, the grass never gets chance to grow much before Jeffrey is out with the mower. Both Jeffrey and Nicola are always on hand for any tips on where to go around the area. Whenever we go, there are always lots of people that are regulars. To us that definitely means they are doing everything right. We love the area as its not busy and you are close enough to travel to surrounding areas. We love it, can't wait to go back. Try it and you'll love it also. See you soon Nicola and Jeffrey, can't wait for our next visit

Peaceful and Relaxing - 5 STARS

Specky Wood
Peaceful and Relaxing – 5 STARS This is an outstanding site that is ideally located to explore the Lizard peninsular and all its awesome natural beauty including the famous pasty mines. Coverack village is only a twenty minute stroll away with its picture perfect harbour and safe sandy beach. The sea air here is so clean and fresh it soothes the soul. The owners, Jeffrey and Nicola who live on site have worked hard to create a lovely campsite that will appeal to people seeking relaxation, peace and quiet. The site is well organised with level pitches of generous size and conveniently located water, recycling and electric hook-up facilities. Jeffrey keeps the grass and hedging looking pristine with new planting, drainage and access improvements enhancing the site. The owners are very knowledgeable about the local area and are always on hand to offer help and advice. They are really friendly and go out of their way to ensure their guests have a great stay.
