  • Serene and green eco camping over seven acres, a mile from Bude
  • Within easy walking distance of beaches, shops and pubs
  • Animals, veg garden, wildlife pond and forest garden
There are many reasons to make your way to Cerenety Eco Campsite: the laidback, friendly atmosphere, variety of animals and plenty of space to unwind are just a few. You may like to meet Red, the site's ex racehorse, who now sees out his days in the pleasant pastures, or the sheep and Heather the alpaca. If you like tortoises, they always appreciated being fed with dandelion leaves and flowers… and let's not forget about sitting by the wildlife pond, listening to birdsong and watching for the moorhens or the visiting heron. A 10-minute walk from the site leads to the South West Coast Path, where there's a little-known beach called Upton beach (wild, clean and great for rockpooling). In the other direction, take a short walk downhill to the canal. You could stroll quickly inland for a cream tea or take a one-mile canal stroll to the town of Bude and its two surfing beaches A huge amount of other first-rate things are on offer at this off-grid, peaceful and back to nature site: you may, for example, care to amble around the driftwood archways, play chess on the giant tables, or spy species around the wildlife pond… Or you could potter around the forest garden – and try your hand at creating your own – or just find your own peaceful place for lazing among the grass. Guests can pick herbs, fruit and veg at the vegetable patch and forest garden. Solar-powered showers and compost toilets are also on site.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: Amazing location, very beautiful walk to Bude.

Disliked: Very very dirty. Did not want to use the facilities after a day. Would not come again due to cleanliness. Overpriced considering amenities and how dirty they were. Not eco at all apart from a composting toilet, could see chemicals being used to clean.
