Liked: Hassle free booking and location, clean toilets and showers, dish washing facilities and a great view across Bude.
Disliked: On a slight slope but if you can get a spot around the edge then it's not a problem we had ramps for the van so we were fine.

Liked: The close proximity to Bude centre. The cleanliness of the toilets/showers. The general appearance of the field. Friendliness of the owner. The fact that I was generally left alone to enjoy the site as I wished.
Disliked: One of the toilet seats was broken which caused a bit of mayhem in the dark! I'm sure it'll be fixed soon!!

Liked: Great view of the town and has good facilities
Disliked: Limited spaces that are not on a noticeable incline. Sleeping in a double bed in a camper van was difficult because of this.

From the manager: Geddon My Dear, Cheers for your cracking review. We are very sorry that you did not notice the massive hill that the campsite is located on. I've got to ask... ave you been smoking some of this years hay with our farm hand Roderick? He said that has a new batch this year and it makes gatepost swinging extra enjoyable. Limited spaces??? Ere Rodders....we've got a wild one here

From the manager: Geddon You! Thank you for coming to visit. I like to pop me washing up bowl under one of the shower cubicles to fill me bowl up. A bit of soap and clippings won't do no harm.. isn't that right Rodderick? Not sure what the kicking means. Each to their own! Come again x

Liked: Close to beach and quiet location.
Disliked: Overpriced. It is basically just a field with portable showers and nothing else. I stupidly camped at the bottom of the field when it was raining heavily So can’t complain that the field is a massive slope when I pitched at the bottom of it. 😂😂😂😂 Two showers for women is not enough at all and washing up outside with only cold water !!! Yikes

From the manager: Geddon Penny! Firstly, I would like to say how please we are to ave you stayin with us. Secondly, I would like to say thank you for leaving your pop up beach tent that you stayed in throughout your stay. Roderick is now keeping his evil Guniea Pigs in it. Luckily the zip (pretty much the only thing) still works so the little blighters can leave my giant dandelions alone! Yes, pitching in a beach tent at the bottom of a hill on a wet week in Cornwall is not the cleverest place to camp. As we have non-allocated pitches and allow campers the freedom to choose where to pitch I must apologies sincerely and deeply for your choice. We really are very very sorry about that and take full responsibility. 'Two showers for women is not enough' Most of the women I know only need one and they are proper filthy!
