  • Family-friendly site on spectacular Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast
  • Less than two miles from the beaches and surf spots of Bude
  • Seven acres of scenic countryside for walks and dog walking
Pack those hiking boots, make sure cameras are fully charged and snag yourself a stay at Willow Valley Camping Park, a family-friendly site in the Cornish village of Bush, five minutes’ drive from the coastal town of Bude – you’ll most definitely want to put those legs to good use. The site is on the stunning Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast, with sandy beaches to stroll along, cliff walks to follow and plenty of spectacular treats to stumble on during travels, like the clifftop village of Clovelly, where cars are banned and donkeys are the main mode of transport. The fab long-distance South West Coast Path passes through Bude too, so lengthier rambles are within easy reach. There’s a fair share of exploration to do on site too if a day at base appeals: seven acres of walks to wander (and dog walks as well, so bring pooch along), and a spacious adventure play park for the kids if they need a bit of distraction or grownups need a chance to unwind. A small on-site shop will keep moods up during high season, taking the stress out of packing by stocking the basic essentials and giving little sugar bursts as needed (check out the selection of treats to get that all-essential fix). For more substantial fare, Bude has plenty of options for local eats.

What customers say

A well-kept, friendly park with plenty of room on the sites and top-notch facilities. Staff are a big hit, as is the great location near Bude, though you might hear the road sometimes. Good for families and doggos, with recent upgrades a plus.

Bell tent

Liked The tent was clean and set up ready when we arrived and beds were very comfortable. As was the tent. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay onside.

Even better I didn't have to set a tent up pr take it down.
A fab little site.
Always clean and good facilities. Tea/coffee/milk &biscuits in a welcome box for our arrival.
Basic utensils. Access to a fridge/freezer on the communal deck and toilet/shower facilities regularly cleaned. Staff friendly and welcoming.

Perfect for exploring Bude and surrounding areas!
Travelled with 2 young children.

Disliked Nothing

Power optional grass site

Liked We had a really lovely stay. The site is clean and the staff were so friendly. The showers, toilets and washing up facilities were great, they really do cater for everything you need.

The pub and dog walking area at the top of the hill are a brilliant bonus too. Perfect for evenings and morning walks with the dog.

Disliked My only suggestion, and I don’t want to be a killjoy, is that they might consider banning ball games on site. It’s a small site and with tents and caravans so close together there’s a real risk of them getting hit.

Local attractions

Start any stay here with an immediate jaunt into Bude – there’ll be something here for everyone. There are splashing times to be had on the town’s Widemouth, Crooklets and Summerleaze surf beaches (all about 10 minutes’ drive from base) and with a few hours of coasteering, paddleboarding or swimming in the sheltered sea pool. Anyone who prefers to stay on dry land can visit the heritage centre in Bude Castle or pass by the town’s oldest house, Quay Cottage. Keep one foot in homes of the past by tripping around stately piles and seeing how the one percenters of yore lived hereabouts: within 45 minutes of base, wandering the halls and rooms of Hartland Abbey, Pencarrow House and the Lawrence House Museum comes highly recommended. The stunning cliffside ruins of Tintagel Castle (believed to be the place where legendary King Arthur was conceived) and the pretty RHS Garden Rosemoor are within 40 minutes for easy scenic strolls and explores. There’s plenty to keep kids entertained too: The Milky Way, The Big Sheep amusement park and trips on the Launceston Steam Railway are within half an hour. If longer car rides aren’t a problem, Crealy Adventure Park, Exmoor Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium and the fab Eden Project are a little over an hour away.
