What customers say
This quiet, scenic spot boasts stunning Bude and coast views. Campers rave about spotless facilities, level sites, and the host's friendly attentiveness. Great for stopovers or exploring locally, with walks to town and pubs. Some noted shower limits, but upgrades are planned.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked I was camping for the first time with my two children (8 and 15). We liked how small the site was as it didn’t feel overwhelming as first time campers. I had seen the excellent reviews and we went for it. Farmer John came over within 5 minutes of us pulling up to go through everything which was great; thank you. Honestly couldn’t have loved it more. The views were stunning!!!

From the manager: Thank you so much Kathleen. It was lovely to have you and your children stay with us, and we’re really pleased your first camping trip was such a success! It’s great to hear that being a small site helped make that first experience a little easier too. Thank you for choosing us after reading our reviews and for now taking the time to leave one yourself, it really does help future guests. Thanks for the photos too, and hopefully this is the first of many camping trips for you all! 😊

Fantastic, basic campsite with stunning views.
Powered grass travel trailer, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Fantastic little campsite with good size pitches. Basic but very clean and well maintained facilities. Friendly and helpful owners. Dog friendly, pub within walking distance that does great food and within a few miles of Bude and the nearest supermarket. Very tranquil and with stunning views.
Disliked Due to the campsites location, its very windy so tents can take a hammering, but you dont get views like that without being exposed to the elements!

From the manager: Thank you so much Lucy for such a lovely review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed your week with us and it’s especially nice to hear in your private message that you rate our little campsite among some of the best you’ve stayed at – we really appreciate that.
Thank you as well for taking the time to share your photos. We always enjoy seeing the campsite through our guests’ eyes.
Our elevated position is definitely a bit of a trade-off at times! Being so open towards the coast means we can certainly feel the Atlantic weather when it decides to blow, which is why we always try to make guests aware of it. On the other hand, that open position is what gives us the outlook we’re lucky enough to enjoy across the countryside and towards the coast, and we take great pleasure sharing it with our guests.
It was a pleasure having you both stay with us and we’d happily welcome you back again. 🙂
Peace, quiet and tranquility. An endless view…
Powered grass RV campsite
Liked Peace, quiet and tranquility.
An endless view over Bude and surroundings.
Short walks (45 mins) into Bude or to the beach.
Pub 10 mins through a wooded path.
Very clean facilities - toilets, shower and pot wash.
But most of all, the host is a delight. Meets you soon after arrival, explains the layout and any problems, he responds immediately.
There won’t be any problems…it’s perfect 👌🏼

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Amazing campsite, so clean and very well looked after, and seems to attract a certain kind of guest (no one was loud or rude or obnoxious, everyone was very polite and and the whole vibe of the camp was exactly what my partner and I were after. Lovely walks to the Bude town and Northcott beach. Loved our stay and will definetly be coming back next year for longer! Special shout out to john who was polite, welcoming and who came straight to see us upon arrival and set the rest of the time away perfectly! Toilet and shower facilities spotless, wash up are spotless, the whole site was spotless from head to toe.
Disliked Disliked the fact we had to leave!

From the manager: Thank you so much Ryan, what an amazing review to receive! It genuinely means a lot to us.
We try really hard to keep the site a relaxed, friendly and well looked-after place where people can simply switch off and enjoy their stay, so reading this was lovely.
It was a pleasure meeting you both and I’m really glad you enjoyed your time here. As for your only dislike… unfortunately we haven’t found a solution to having to go home yet! 😂
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave such a brilliant review. We’d absolutely love to welcome you both back next year, hopefully for that longer stay!
All the best,
John
