Simple but well-maintained Cornwall farm campsite in Poughill
A five-minute drive to Bude; 10 minutes to Widemouth Bay
Easy access from the Atlantic Highway (A39); lovely views all round

Most pleasant indeed are the surroundings at Mount Pleasant Camping – this small pop-up campsite in the village of Poughill looks out over the stunning north Cornwall coastline in one direction and has distant views of Bodmin Moor in the other… how’s that for a view or two? This farm campsite is mostly surrounded by grassland and arable fields, so mornings and evenings are lovely and peaceful. As a working farm with animals in the fields and due to a nearby repair garage in the village, there may be some smells and noises on occasion during the daytime (and with the stunning surrounding grasslands, the location can also experience some wind). The village location is a handy one for proximity to a pub and there are shops in Bude or Stratton, as well as a small shop and a fish and chips takeaway within 10 minutes' walk of the site. If you're looking out towards the coast you’ve probably got the town of Bude in your sightline – it's about five minutes’ drive away and home to some of the area’s best beaches, especially if you’re into surfing. The farm is also only a little way from the Atlantic Highway (aka the A39), opening up the possibility of outings to all sorts of choice spots nearby including Tintagel, Port Isaac and Bideford. Back at base, you’ll be staying on pleasantly level pitches with access to two clean unisex toilets, a drinking water tap and a rubbish/recycling point. The camping field is fairly open to the elements, so you may well be treated to gorgeous sunsets and stunningly starry night skies while you’re here.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Fab site with exceptional views. The weather was amazing. Toilets and general site really clean. Host popped over to say a friendly hello and advised on best walking routes to village pub. Managed the pub and the beach. Great to have walks directly from site. It was a slice of paradise. Stars at night were also spectacular. Dog loved it.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Fantastic far reaching views from the site. John was very welcoming and helpful about walks down to Bude. Site was very neat and tidy. Grass kept short and the facilities were spotless.

Disliked: Not a dislike but a sink to wash pots would be good.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review, so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and was nice to meet you. Really appreciate your suggestion to have a pot washing area, it’s certainly something I will add. Being a brand-new site, I appreciate any positive criticism at this stage and will strive to add some more facilities for next year. Thank you for choosing Mount Pleasant Camping.

Fantastic view over Bude , lovely to wake up with a sea…

Local attractions

Bude (five minutes’ drive) is a fabulous place to spend a day or few – as well as some gorgeous beaches in Crooklets and Summerleaze, it's also got an open-air sea pool, a seaside links golf course, a castle and numerous other family-friendly activities. Of course, it’s also known for its surfing, so you might like to bring along a board, hire kit in town or sign up for surf lessons if you need a bit of guidance. Widemouth Bay (10 minutes) is the place to go for consistent surf waves. And if you don’t fancy surfing, perhaps a hike along the local section of the South West Coast Path is more your bag? Elsewhere along the coast, you may like to stop in at the cute fishing village of Port Isaac (45 minutes), see where King Arthur (may have) hung out at Tintagel Castle (40 minutes) or cross into Devon for a day at Westward Ho! (40 minutes). If you’ve got the kids with you, places like the Milky Way Adventure Park (25 minutes) and The Big Sheep (35 minutes) are likely to be popular choices for a day out.
