  • Small family-run site near Welcombe, on the Devon/Cornwall border
  • Easily accessible from the A39 Atlantic Highway and next to a bus stop
  • Two miles from beaches and the South West Coast Path
Welcome to… Welcombe X. And get prepped to stay here for quite some time: have a quick gander of the pics to see just why. Welcombe X is a small site near the village of Welcombe, on the border of Devon and Cornwall between Bideford and Bude, and two miles from the coast. It's a friendly and laidback place, lauded by grateful guests as 'perfect', 'lovely', 'fabulous' and 'very friendly and extremely helpful' among many more accolades… obviously you'll have to go and investigate for yourself… And as for what do to along the coast? You could stretch your legs on the South West Coast Path or take to the waves in the surfing mecca of Bude… or trot up the cobbled streets at the old fishing village of Clovelly… or decide firmly to do nowt more than bask on as many splendid beaches as is humanly poss. A bus stop is outside the site if you've decided firmly not to do any driving while here. The site has a peaceful rural atmosphere but is well connected, with direct access from the A39 Atlantic Highway. It's a five-minute walk to the village shop if you need to pick up groceries.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, friendly, and exceptionally clean small campsite, praised for its welcoming owners who offer local advice. Facilities, including showers and Wi-Fi, are spotless and well-maintained. Its convenient location is ideal for exploring nearby Bude and the coast. While some guests noted occasional traffic noise from the nearby main road and a few minor issues with pitch drainage or shower size, these were generally outweighed by the positive aspects. An on-site bar and recycling facilities were also appreciated.

Liked Family run campsite where the hosts are extremely friendly and genuinely want your stay to be as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.

Cleanliness of all facilities was impeccable. A tap was out of order in one of the toilets and immediately this was restored to ensure it didn’t affect those visiting.

The overall atmosphere of the campsite was one of relaxed and friendly and other campers felt this too.

Local attractions

It's a mere two miles or five minute' drive from here to the nearest stretch of sand, the sandy, secluded and mighty peaceful beach at Welcombe Mouth. The same distance will land you at the South West Coast Path for spectacularly scenic hikes around the entire Devon coast (and those of Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset, should you be so inclined). Take the path north to Clovelly or south to Bude, alongside your substantial picnic, and leave time afterwards for a potter around either town. Kids' attractions and activities are all around, such as the The Milky Way adventure park 10 minutes' drive away at Bideford and famed and fab The Big Sheep amusement park is within 20 minutes' drive. Do also mosey along to the Gnome Reserve and Wild Flower Garden (15 minutes), set up as a 'pastoral refuge for garden gnomes'. Splendid.
