  • Quiet Cornwall pop-up campsite on a farm 15 minutes’ drive from Bude
  • Widemouth Bay 10 minutes’ drive; Milky Way Adventure Park 35 minutes
  • Valley views from the grass pitches; shop and pub 10 minutes’ drive
It’s all about location at Kitsham Camping, a Cornish pop-up campsite 15 minutes by car from Bude, and close to Widemouth Bay for surfing consistent waves or Black Rock Beach (both 10 minutes’ drive) for anyone looking to walk their dogs on the sand. Long-distance walkers can also hop on the South West Coast Path at either beach. This peaceful site on a working farm is also handy for a bundle of family-friendly attractions – from adventure parks to petting farms and ten-pin bowling alleys – ensuring you’ll have no complaints about being bored from the kids. The pitches are nicely spread out over three acres on a gently sloping grass field with far-reaching views across the valley. No-frills facilities include a brick-built shower block with copious amounts of hot water at the edge of the camping field, and a separate washing-up area. Should you get caught in the rain (always a possibility in Cornwall), the use of a washing machine and dryer are available on request. Pick up local Cornish produce in the community-run village shop in Marhamchurch (10 minutes, there’s a pub there too), and if you’re in need of a larger resupply of provisions, Bude supermarkets will have most things you need.

Local attractions

Surfers can head down to Widemouth Bay (10 minutes’ drive) to get their thrill, or join the crowds on Newquay beaches (an hour). If your kids are not keen on swimming in the sea, try the tidal pool at Bude (15 minutes); you can also play golf or tennis nearby, and participate in extreme sports including coasteering and abseiling on the cliffs. Toddlers will surely love getting up close to cuddly farm animals at The BIG Sheep (45 minutes), or setting off on gentle bike rides through the trees at Tamar Trails Centre (50 minutes). Kids of all ages can find something to amuse them among the rollercoasters, gravity rides and dodgem cars at Milky Way Adventure Park (35 minutes), and you can all scare yourselves silly on guided ghost walks around the Bodmin Jail Attraction (45 minutes). Pretty fishing villages with buzzing harbours and traditional old pubs abound in this corner of Cornwall; head for Port Isaac (35 minutes) to browse indie shops and spot locations made famous by the TV series ‘Dr Martin’, or have a potter around the Court Gardens at gorgeous Clovelly (40 minutes); with its roots in medieval times, it’s one of the few privately owned villages in the UK.
