  • Riverside camping near Bude
  • Woodland and wildlife walks, hammocks and free firepit use
  • Heated shower block; disabled shower and loo; games room on site
‘Campfires are allowed by the riverside,’ say the owners of Woodview Campsite near Bude in Cornwall, which is symbolic of such splendid pitching it's worth repeating again. Campfires allowed. By a riverside. In Cornwall. Oh, and the firepits are free to use, and by the river there are also hammocks. And swings. How excellent. Woodview Campsite is in north Cornwall on the Cornwall/Devon border (nifty for both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Park) and six or seven miles from Sandymouth, Crooklets and the other beaches at Bude. The many, many activities and things to see are covered in the local attractions section, but if you’re all of a flutter trying to decide what to do, just have a word with the Woodview team, a local family that know the ins and outs of all to see and do in Cornwall. On site, all is rather lovely: Woodview is an elevated position and sheltered by trees (clue in the name there). Wander south for the stream on the edge of the campsite that flows into the River Tamar, or branch out into the beech woodland a short stroll away for wildlife walks among the wildflowers. Facilities – all free – include a games room with table tennis, air hockey, Freeview TV, indoor football and snooker, and a shower and loo block with underfloor heating, baby changing and a disabled shower and loo. Laundry facilities are also available. If you’re not using one of the seven riverside firepits, barbecues can be used (sensibly please) in the main pitching area, with a side helping of views towards Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor.

Scott J.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Arrived at sight just before 8pm after the usual M5 traffic. Guy at reception couldn't have done enough and I left with a bag of logs, kindling and fire lighters. The whole site was clean and grass etc well presented. Down by the stream after coking some food headed down with logs some beers and a string of lights and chilled with a fire and the hammock already their. In the morning he was flexible as I had parkrun at Tamar lakes and got away an hour later than the given time.
All in all well impressed and a great find.

From the manager: Thank you . Happy to help

Over all owners super lovely and nice. Place nice and clean.

Power optional concrete and grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely friendly family campsite.
Very clean facilities.
Shop available to purchase lovely local produce.
Fire pits area were a real bonus.
Nice level pitches.
Cars can be parked near to pitch for practical loading/ unloading.

Disliked Pitch flanked by caravan and lodge for my family’s large tent which gave no view and limited space around it.

From the manager: Thanks for your comments .
Hope to see you again

Route directions

From Bude, follow the A39 towards Bideford. After going through Kikhampton for a mile on the Bideford side, turn right for Bradworthy then left at the T-junction. You should see Woodview Campsite signs. Follow these until you come to a crossway in the woods. There is another sign here for Woodview Campsite - turn left and the site is 100 metres along on the left. From Bideford, follow the A39 towards Bude for 10 miles. Just after the Cornwall/Devon border sign, take the first left turning by a bungalow. Keep straight on, following Woodview Campsite signs for 2.5 miles. If you miss this turning, take the next left off the A39.

Local attractions

Within 20 minutes of Woodview Campsite, holidaymakers of all flavours will find beaut beaches, old seaside villages, family days out, coastal walks, sporty days and King Arthur legends at nearby Tintagel. On days when not cooking over a campsite firepit or barbecue – because even with riverside firepits available one should sample quite a bit of Cornwall and Devon produce – pubs serving food and many tiptop restaurants are close by in the area of Bude, Hartland and Bideford (hang around in summer for carnivals and family events). Bude’s three beaches, Sandymouth, Summerleaze and Crooklets, are popular with families and those dipping into watersports; surf schools and surf gear hire shops are plentiful on this part of coast. Tamar Lake is also nearby to try sailing, fishing and canoeing, and the Bude Tourist Information & Canal Visitor Centre has info on navigating Bude Canal by kayak or rowing boat. On land, Bude is on the National Cycle Network NCN3 linking to the Camel Trail; both have gentle rides suitable for families. The South West Coast Path can be picked up at Bude tourist information centre and covers superbly scenic walks from Bude to Boscastle, Marsland Mouth and Crackington Haven. Also within 20 minutes, land fans have tenpin bowling and six levels of play at Harlequinns Leisure, and to rock climbing, tennis, squash, horse riding and golf: ask the Woodview team for their recommendations. To the south, Tintagel and its castle are among the most visited places in Britain: stop at Boscastle on the way for the great Museum of Witchcraft, and carry on down the coast to Newquay for Newquay Zoo or a day at the Crealy Great Adventure Park in Wadebridge. Cobbled Clovelly is to the north: clop around here for the day to see the town’s renowned steep street and have an astronomical day out at The Milky Way Adventure Park. Bodmin Moor, Exmoor and Dartmoor are all within an hour’s drive, and an abundance of other family days out are easy to get to from Woodview, such as the Eden Project at St Austell, Launceston’s Tamar Otter Sanctuary and Trethorne Leisure Park, and famed The Big Sheep at Abbotsham.
