General
- Family-run farm site
- A mile from the beaches and town centre of Bude
- Animals to feed and a shell craft studio on site
If you're staying close to Cornish beaches, you might want to do something with your seashells. Such is the state of affairs at Atlantic Camping near Bude, a site so family-friendly it's set up its own shell craft studio for small (and big) sorts to craft their foraged shells into ornaments or use them to decorate bits and pieces like pots, mirrors and picture frames.
And the kids might like the menagerie in the adjacent field too. Greeting – and feeding – the chickens, turkeys, geese, sheep, three alpacas and a donkey all living right next to the site are usually a big hit with small guests: just ask a member of staff for feed if you want to dispense dinner.
Atlantic Camping is a family-run farm campsite, set within 26 acres of farmland, a mile from the surfing beaches of north Cornwall's Bude. The farm entrance is set directly on the Atlantic Highway (the A39, the main road past Bude) so is easily accessible to all vehicle types, but the campsite part is set well back from the road on the other side of the farm: no traffic noise here.
The planted-out pitches are set among two and a half acres of well-mown grass, with a climbing frame and ball game area for the kids. Amenities include a washing-up area with four sinks, and a toilet and shower block with six showers and seven toilets, including a disabled toilet and one with baby-changing facilities.
The pubs, restaurants and attractions of Bude town centre are a 20-minute walk from the farm: bring a torch if you're coming or going at night.

From the manager...
Thank you for your review, you can walk out of the farm for 3 miles without meeting a main road, you can get to the beach or follow the old canal path, or you can walk to the ancient village of Stratton . There are also signposts from the drive to direct you to Bude on pavements and without going on the main road (although you do have to cross the A39 once). Our facilities are simple but are clean and tidy. We are a basic family run farm campsite. |

From the manager...
Thank for the comments. The showers at the top don't have lights as they are only in use in the summer months but the toilets do. At the bottom there are lights in every unit. |
|||||
From the manager...
Thanks for your comments. The bins are emptied daily and the toilets cleaned twice a day. When we have guests who abuse the toilets and it is reported to us we do re-clean if necessary as quickly as we can. |

From the manager...
You can reach Bude without going on the main road. We signpost the footpath up the inside of the farm hedge. Then you cross the A39 where the visibility is very good. After that it is though an industrial estate and pavement all the way, with more signposting from us. If you don't follow these instructions the road is very dangerous. |

Local attractions
The beaut beaches of Bude are rightly famed for their golden sands, clean water and surfing breaks: get along to Summerleaze and Crooklets within Bude for surf, and to the National Trust-managed Sandymouth for a quieter vibe via its steep ravine.
The long sands and popular surfing waves of Widemouth Bay are a few miles from Bude, Crackington Haven is within eight miles, and the family-friendly beach of Northcott Mouth is a top spot nearby for rockpooling.
In Bude town, spend a morning wandering around the harbour and Bude's buildings including the oldest in town, Quay Cottage, and the heritage centre now housed in Bude Castle. Then, perhaps, a pint, lunch or pasty before tackling the local stretch of the also-famed South West Coast Path, from Bude Canal to Crackington Haven, and then further south to Boscastle and Tintagel…?
Horse riding, cycling, ten-pin bowling, fishing, tennis and golf are all available in the region too: ask the Atlantic Camping team for its top tips.

Calls from campers being disturbed led us to go to the site only to find a large group starting a fire at 10pm forming a rowdy gathering, inviting non campers to join them. This site is for camping guests only. As a family site it is just unacceptable for a disregard of others enjoyment and safety.
