What customers say
This is a peaceful, back-to-nature eco-campsite with a strong emphasis on sustainability. Guests praise its tranquil atmosphere, beautiful location, and convenient walk to Bude via a scenic canal path. The site offers spacious pitches, fire pits, and friendly, helpful owners. While many appreciate the eco-friendly facilities, including compost toilets and solar showers, some reviews note that they are basic and could benefit from more attention to cleanliness and maintenance, particularly when the site is busy. Despite some dated facilities, the overall experience is highly recommended by many for its relaxed vibe and natural setting.

Liked Location and pleasant owner/host
Disliked Sloping pitch (definitely need levellers) and decrepit toilet block with leaking showers. No hot water for washing dishes.

not recommending because website and reality are not common!
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked the view, the green place and location
Disliked no glory like subscribed on the website...no clean sanitary. Eco idea is nice but not if you notice trash and a messy forgotten place...We didn't see the owners. No light in the evening. Sadly i payed an amount that can give some better place on other campsites with good service.

Good location for walks, too rustic for us & lack of level pitches
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked The location accessed some narrow lanes, is close to the canal (short walk down the hill) where you can walk, just over a mile into Bude and onto the beaches and the town centre. The canal walk has lots of wildlife (ducks, geese, kingfishers etc., a very peaceful stroll (no bikes permitted on the canal tow path) and the Dunes on the beach were a great place to enjoy the sun and views over the bay and shelter from the wind late September so the weather was on the turn). Access to the headland and coastal walk is 10 mins in the other direction The site was very quiet as it was end of season, the owner was very friendly and met us on arrival to let us know various things.
Disliked It's hard to be too critical as this is an eco-site, so you do expect more rudimentary facilities. There was plenty of hot water for the showers but in short it really does need an upgrade - I don't mind 'rustic charm' but would expect to have better maintained shower area in general. Two hand basins and only one was working. There is no hot water to the pot wash area. The site only has a few level pitch areas - we were able to position the VW camper and awning and with the aid of our vehicle levellers set up between some trees but this made opening the tailgate fully a little tricky. Being picky, you can hear the constant 'drone' of the A39 "Atlantic Highway' in the distance but perhaps my sharp hearing is more my issue!

Good space to pitch and some…
Non-electric grass tent pitch (small, two person)
Liked Good space to pitch and some sheltered spots from the wind. The facilities were good for the price, warm showers and plenty of toilets. The campsite is a short walk along the river into Bude and an even shorter walk to the south west coastal path

My go to site whenever I can
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked A lovely tranquil site, close enough to Bude to walk.
The walk along the canal and through the marshes is really nice.
The eco facilities are brilliantly kept and having phone Chargers is a good facility.
Disliked Nothing to dislike. I hope that guests appreciate the ethos of the site.
