General
- Pick your own pitches at this back to basics camping field in Cornwall
- A five-minute walk from Bude and the South West Coast Path
- Spacious hilltop pitches; barbecues and dogs permitted
With a splendid clifftop setting on the north Cornwall coast, Efford Down Campsite is a no-frills spot in a farm field that's great for family breaks. Located five minutes' walk from Bude and its independent boutiques, cafés, pubs and arty shops, it's also within easy strolling distance of supermarkets for picking up self-catering supplies.
There’s plenty to do outdoors too: a five-minute walk will see you surfing off Summerleaze beach, or you can potter down to Bude Sea Pool for a swim in less than 10 minutes. There’s also direct access to the South West Coast Path from the campsite, for action-packed days hiking headlands, or gentler ambles along Bude Canal and around the fishing harbour.
But that’s not all – there are canoe and mountain bike rentals, pony trekking and golf courses all within a few minutes' drive, and you can try your hand at coasteering, sea kayaking and surf kayaking from local activity centres too.
There are no designated pitches, so please pick your own camping spot from what’s available when you arrive in the gently sloping field. Simple facilities at the site include running water, toilets, showers and plenty of space to park cars by your pitch.
Open from 28/05/2022 to 03/09/2022

Local attractions
Around Bude, there are plenty of things to keep you busy. This pleasant resort has half a dozen different beaches to explore, with sandy spots, secluded coves, rockpools and the saltwater Bude Sea Pool to try out. Just out of town, you can escape the hustle and bustle at Widemouth Bay (five minutes' drive), or for a peaceful few hours of sport you could make a day of it at Bude and North Cornwall Golf Club (five minutes), where visitors are welcome.
The South West Coast Path (five minutes' walk from base) has ample hiking opportunities for serious walkers (and less serious ones who fancy a shorter jaunt to some of north Cornwall's less accessible beaches). Good public transport services run along much of the route, making it possible to loop back to base in Bude by bus rather than walking the long way home.
For families, this part of Cornwall has Tintagel Castle (35 minutes) with its connections to King Arthur; the village of Tintagel also has caves and a toy museum to keep the kids occupied. Alternatively, take them for a go on the rides, slides and flumes at Camel Creek Family Theme Park (50 minutes).
Must see
- Tintagel Castle (14.3 miles)
- RHS Garden Rosemoor (19.6 miles)
- Rock Beach (25.3 miles)
National Trust
- Tintagel Old Post Office (14.4 miles)
