  • Serene and green eco camping over seven acres, a mile from Bude
  • Within easy walking distance of beaches, shops and pubs
  • Animals, veg garden, wildlife pond and forest garden
There are many reasons to make your way to Cerenety Eco Campsite: the laidback, friendly atmosphere, variety of animals and plenty of space to unwind are just a few. You may like to meet Red, the site's ex racehorse, who now sees out his days in the pleasant pastures, or the sheep and Heather the alpaca. If you like tortoises, they always appreciated being fed with dandelion leaves and flowers… and let's not forget about sitting by the wildlife pond, listening to birdsong and watching for the moorhens or the visiting heron. A 10-minute walk from the site leads to the South West Coast Path, where there's a little-known beach called Upton beach (wild, clean and great for rockpooling). In the other direction, take a short walk downhill to the canal. You could stroll quickly inland for a cream tea or take a one-mile canal stroll to the town of Bude and its two surfing beaches A huge amount of other first-rate things are on offer at this off-grid, peaceful and back to nature site: you may, for example, care to amble around the driftwood archways, play chess on the giant tables, or spy species around the wildlife pond… Or you could potter around the forest garden – and try your hand at creating your own – or just find your own peaceful place for lazing among the grass. Guests can pick herbs, fruit and veg at the vegetable patch and forest garden. Solar-powered showers and compost toilets are also on site.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Eco ethos. charging point for power packs and devices. Warm shower in the morning
Picnic tables. Fire pits to rent.

Disliked Uneven fields. Difficult to get even pitch. Facilities a little run down. Blocked sink.
Ran out of sawdust for the eco toilet one day. Difficult turning into site as overgrown bushes at entrance.

Ok for a quick visit :)

Liked Friendly host, functional compost loos (bring your own loo paper) quiet, nice views.

Disliked The access to the site is tight, but doable, site aesthetics not quite as the photos depict

A good value off grid site. A little taste of the countryside.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked This is such a lovely peaceful site. It is so relaxing. There's plenty of room to pitch without being too close to neighbours. Picnic benches are provided, which is a really nice touch.
The shower block is quirky and interesting, with composting toilets and solar powered showers.
There's a charger for phones.
Everything you need really for an off grid campsite.
It's accessible to Bude by foot along the canal and through the marshes. It's a lovely walk.

Disliked This is not really a dislike, but the access lane is quite narrow.

Several stunning Bude beaches are within easy reach: ask the Cerenety team for their local tips on the best beaches for families, dog walkers and coastal activities. You'll need at least a day in town too, at Bude's cafés, pubs, restaurants and locally-owned shops selling surf kit, arts and crafts, and Cornish ice cream. For hikes, the South West Coast Path passes through the town. Day trips include the harbour village of Boscastle (25 minutes' drive), King Arthur legend at Tintagel (30 minutes), and the spectacular and famed Cornish destinations of the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, both within an hour and 20 minutes.
