Camping pitches with Widemouth Bay views in Cornwall
A five-minute drive from Bude; half an hour from Tintagel
Pub, shop, restaurant and surf hire all a couple of minutes' walk away

Ever dreamed of waking up to a sea view? Or perhaps stoking the flames of a campfire as the sun sets over the waves? Sign up for a bit of both with a stay at Sandparks Campsite, a friendly, informal site with pitches overlooking Widemouth beach in north Cornwall. Those in the know will no doubt recognise this name as being one of Cornwall’s top surfing beaches – and as well as viewing it from your pitch you can also get down there to hit the waves whenever you fancy from here. And it’s not just the beach that’s handy: a pub (with top-notch Cornish ales), a restaurant (with fresh seafood) and a shop (with local meat and fish for your barbecue) are all a mere 50 metres away from the site. There’s also surfing kit hire available for those who don’t have their own board. If you fancy exploring a little further afield, it’s worth noting that this is a fine spot for getting out to walk on the South West Coast Path or to spend some time roaming around north Cornwall. Bude is about a 40-minute walk or five-minute drive away and you can get to the likes of Boscastle, Tintagel and Bodmin Moor within half an hour’s drive. Life on site is pretty simple, but guests have access to a waste disposal point, a washing-up area and a modern toilet and shower block. Barbecues and campfires are both permitted at this laidback spot, as are visiting dogs.

Liked Great location, friendly staff, shower blocks and other facilities excellent. The beach is literally a stones throw. Small shop selling everything you need including freshly baked pasties. Bay View Inn next door has sport on TV and food is excellent. Beach is monitored by RNLI for safety. Can walk to Bude along the clifftops in just over an hour.

Liked Laid back approach, fire pits allowed (a rarity these days), chilled atmosphere and amazing views of Widemouth Bay which is just across the road, facilities excellent and very clean. There is a choice of two pubs/restaurants just a short stroll away, we ate at the "Beach House" which was absolutely lovely
We loved it here and will be back as soon as possible to soak up some more of this little piece of Cornish heaven, a big shout out to Gary the warden too who's always on hand to help with any issues, Oh and not forgetting the jaw dropping sunsets!!

Disliked Having to leave!!

Local attractions

Widemouth isn’t the only bit of coastal Cornwall that’s easy to visit from here. Sandparks is also in a handy spot for outings to Bude (five minutes’ drive), where another top surf beach beckons, along with surf lessons and a sea pool for more gentle swims. Elsewhere along the coast, you could stop by in Boscastle (20 minutes) for a stroll around a traditional fishing village, or explore Arthurian legends at Tintagel Castle (half an hour) – perhaps also stopping by at the mystical St Nectan’s Glen (25 minutes) to see if you can spot pixies as you walk to the waterfall. Turning inland for a while, there are some great walks to be done on Bodmin Moor (25 minutes), or you could delve into the area’s history at Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum (15 minutes). Other options for entertaining the kids might be the animals at New Mills Farm Park, the puzzle-themed attractions at Hidden Valley or the characterful residents of The Gnome Reserve and Wildflower Garden – all are about a half-hour drive away.
