What customers say
This small, well-maintained site offers exceptional, far-reaching views over Bude and the coastline, with pitches described as large, flat, and clearly marked. Visitors consistently praise the cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the toilets and showers, and highlight the attentiveness and friendliness of the host. Easy access to walking routes, including a pleasant walk into Bude and to local pubs, is a significant draw. While the site is generally well-received and considered good value, some guests noted that the limited number of toilet and shower facilities might be an issue for longer stays.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review, it’s great to hear you enjoyed the views, dog walks, and facilities, and we’re delighted you’ve booked to return next week! Thankyou
We also really appreciate your feedback about the shower to us.
Just to mention: the showers are set to a safe temperature to accommodate guests of all ages and are on a timed push button (15 seconds), but we have provided a little red clip hanging on the button which can be used to keep the water running constantly. Hopefully that will make things more comfortable on your next visit. Looking forward to welcoming you back very soon!
A gem of a place for peace and tranquility! Welcoming friendly owner!

Liked If you would like to get lost in a truly beautiful view and watch the sunset of an evening on a small, safe and friendly campsite this is the place!
Without a doubt one of the best I’ve been to!!! I’ve been to many campsites over the years in a tent or caravan and now I’m blessed to have a campervan and this is hands down a real gem ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The pitches are clean, well laid out and fantastic sizes! Room for camper and awning and windbreak if wanted.
The toilets and shower facilities are very well kept, clean and huge bonus…. decent toilet roll!!! If you find yourself camping as a woman at certain times of the month you know what a difference this makes; both the toilet roll and clean facilities!!
John is so welcoming, friendly and is willing to go that extra mile, he genuinely cares about your experience.
I’m a single mum travelling with my daughter and I felt very comfortable and safe here!! And I was able to truly relax, the energy here is on point!
I even considered whether to cancel moving on and stay a few more nights I love it so much!! Il most definitely be back!!!!
To quote my 5 year old daughter ‘mummy this is the best site ever, my favourite. Can we stop here for the rest of the nights because I want longer’
This site is perfect for anyone with an appreciation for peace, tranquility, no light pollution, stunning views, good vibes, calm energy and cleanliness!!
Disliked LEAVING!!!
