General
- Lakeside site with sandy beach
- Kayaking, canoeing, fishing, sailing, cycling and more all available
- Short drive to the surfing beaches of Bude and Widemouth
There’s nothing to mar your enjoyment of the panoramic vista at this site near the pleasant seaside resort of Bude...the pitches face out on the larger of the two lakes on site, Upper Tamar, and its sandy beach. And anglers will no doubt have some fishy tales to tell after a day out netting some of the bream, roach, rudd and huge carp stashed in the two lakes for a small daily rate...
Make the most of the views using foot, cycle, wind or paddle power, or wander around the large pathway circling Upper Tamar Lake, designed for wheelchair and pushchair use and suitable for walking and cycling. The trails continue into the woods and countryside beyond for those who are feeling energetic, or there are easier walks and good picnic spots to be found around Lower Tamar, which is a haven for wild birds (both lakes have a hide).
Or one could get stuck into watery sports right on site: pedalos, Canadian canoes and dinghies are available for hire at a small charge, as well as windsurfers and surf skis - although you can also bring your own boats and equipment too. Taster sessions, lessons and activity programmes for adults and kids run in the holiday season and most weekends from April to September at the watersports centre.
Tamar Lakes Campsite has communal style showers, a washing-up area, a chemical disposal point and recycling facilities. More leisurely, you'll also find a new playground, a tearoom selling souvenirs, and a café serving up light meals, cream teas and some rather moreish Cornish ice cream.
Open from 30/03/2018 to 28/10/2018

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Local attractions
Attractive Bude has lots to offer and is surrounded by ancient villages such as Poughill and Kilkhampton. North of this area is the wild and beautiful Hartland Peninsula, where you can find the precariously perched, carfree cobbled streets of Clovelly.
To the south, a tour of Tintagel Castle followed by a visit to the pretty fishing village of Boscastle would make a good day out. A short trip inland brings you to Launceston, where you can take a nostalgic journey on the steam railway.
