Camping at Keveral
Keveral Farm, near Looe in Cornwall, is a community of 12 adults and 10 kids, and has been an organic farm for 39 years.
We offer you a small, eco-friendly campsite, spread over three different locations around the farm. There is a good amount of space between the tents.
You can take a 15 minute walk through the woods to the beach in the daytime, and sit around a campfire at night.
Advance bookings only - please do not turn up without having booked in advance.
The Orchard
Our Orchard Camping is cosy, sheltered and car-free, and is terraced to create flat pitches. It includes The Mongolian Yurt and two 5m Bell Tents for hire. The upper part of the orchard is usually reserved for people without kids (small-medium size tents only, but including Bell Tent No.2).
There is a campfire, three picnic tables and a shelter for shared use in the lower part of the orchard. It is about 150m from the unloading point (there are big wheelbarrows to move your things) and about 250m from the shower room and Visitor's Barn.
The Funky Field
Our Funky Field Camping is accessible for vehicles, so is suitable for people with big tents and more equipment. It is flat and more open, but has plenty of trees around. There are two shared campfires each with large shelters and picnic tables nearby. There are other picnic tables that you can place by your tent (though not enough for everyone in busy periods).
We can take a limited number of camper-vans in The Funky Field. After pitching up, cars are parked 50m from the camping area. It is 130m from the shower room and Visitor's Barn.
The Ridge
The Ridge Camping is home to The Cornish Yurt, is in a secluded location. There is also a tent pitch (8m x 5m oval) for use only in conjunction with the yurt.
The Yurts and Bell Tents
The Mongolian Yurt and The Cornish Yurt both have their own campfire, picnic table and gazebo. There are also three 5m bell tents.
Yurts and Bell Tents for hire.

Accessibility
You must be reasonably able-bodied to camp in the Orchard, which is at least 200m down a gentle slope from the car-parking and shower room. As the orchard is terraced, there are steeper slopes below each terrace, and steps up to the compost toilets. Good shoes must be worn when the ground is wet to avoid accidents.
The Funky Field is suitable for less able-bodied people.
