Coastal Camping
Peaceful pitches, wild views, and a low-impact stay
You'll find all the essential facilities you need, including toilets, hot showers, and a washing-up area. Skern is committed to keeping its environmental impact to a minimum—and once you've experienced the peaceful surroundings, chances are you'll feel the same.
We offer no-electric grass tent pitches, each accommodating one tent and up to 5 people (maximum 2 adults). Pitches are unallocated, so you’re free to choose your perfect spot on arrival. Or, for a little extra comfort, opt for one of our en-suite camping pods. Please note: pets are not permitted on site.
