What customers say
This site boasts a superb location directly opposite Widemouth Bay beach, offering stunning sea views and easy access for surfing and coastal walks. Guests consistently praise the immaculately clean and modern facilities, including showers and outdoor wash-down areas. The friendly and helpful staff, particularly wardens Sue and Gary, contribute to a relaxed atmosphere. Nearby pubs, restaurants, and a shop add to the convenience. While some mention occasional wind and occasional crowding during peak times, the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits.

Amazing
Electric grass pitch
Liked Wonderful campsite in the most beautiful location. We were there over bank Holiday weekend so it was busy. However the facilities were immaculate and well maintained.
The two people on arrival (sorry couldn't remember names) were so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. We will 100% be back next summer. Thank you!

Excellent location opposite beach.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Very laid back campsite in a great location opposite beach. Clean facilities. Plenty of water points around field. Burger van on site which is open from 7:30am for fry ups and evenings from 6pm for burger & chips etc.
Great farm shop across the road selling fresh bread, eggs, milk and hot pasties at a reasonable price.
Disliked Sloping field with minimal facilities for amount of pitches/people staying on site. Four showers/six toilets in ladies & same in gents, some outside showers. Pot washing area. £15 per person in high season.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Clean, great view, nice people, chilled vibe. Spacious and quiet enough.
Disliked Local shop closes before check-in time, do had to drive back to Bude for any thing we’d forgotten. Not the campsites fault though.

+'ve: location, view, facilities, level enough. -'ve: grumpy warden.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The site is a bit undulating, but there's enough flat bits for those in tents. The proximity to the beach couldn't be better, we could hear the sea in the evenings as we sipped a beer. Showers, toilets etc. are all excellent. New in the last couple of years I heard, there's also communal fridges and freezers for storing ice packs and food. We didn't try leaving food or drinks there, just froze our ice blocks. They'll happily charge your devices for you in the office or in their accommodation which is a cheeky bonus. Sue was lovely and very helpful, try to ask her when you need help.
Disliked Why oh why would you work in a people facing job if you don't like people?! Gary (warden) is 'grumpy old man' personified! Not just our opinion, our neighbours had a run in with him too. He's one of those people who says "well, obviously..." when it's not at all obvious. Just explain it clearly because we don't work on campsites everyday. Say "please could you..." in a polite tone, instead of "don't do that" in a snappy voice.
A few inconsiderate campers. Music late at night. Drunk 20-somethings coming back at midnight. Generator going for hours. The wardens did try to keep these things in check, but one lap at 10pm doesn't keep the noise down.

Excellent location. Very clean and very accommodating managers
Electric grass pitch
Liked Loved the managers. Could not have been more accommodating with our larger vehicle and request for an extra night. Location is great. Across the road for widemouth bay beach and 10 mins easy walk to black rock beach which allows dogs.
