Coastal park set in over 50 acres of grounds
A short drive from the surf schools and beach at Bude
Free heated pool, free wifi, clubhouse, kids' club and bar

Free! The price of zilch is what you’ll pay to keep the kids happy at Widemouth Bay Caravan Park a few miles from Bude, which is bound to result in wide-mouthed grins for all concerned... This large and lively family park has kids’ clubs run by the cunning Foxy, free evening entertainment by the Stripey Coats, crazy golf to go loopy at and an indoor heated pool, which are also…free. As is the wifi in the clubhouse. Huzzah. Widemouth Bay Caravan Park’s location is also pretty smilesome: on a hilltop overlooking the Cornish countryside and the fab Widemouth Bay with its three miles of sand. There are over 50 acres to lose yourself in around the park and pretend you never have to go home, with the takeaway, well-stocked shop and tasty meals at the bar keeping you sorted for nosh and a launderette looking after the essentials. Looking for yet more things to do on site? Challenge the kids on the amusements or show them how to hustle on the pool table – letting them beat you should result in even more wide smiles…

Powered grass tent campsite (large)

Liked: The site was spotless and well cared for staff were very pleasant.the amenities were very good ie showers ect shop ,bar

Disliked: I have a wheelchair and the pathways and access to our tent was very stoney with lots of potholes which made it very difficult to manoeuvre at night so we ended up driving most places as it was too dangerous to use the chair.and the pitch was on a slant

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we will make sure that your lovely comments are passed on to the team at the park. Due to the location of Widemouth we felt it was important to list the park on Pitch Up as situated in a hilly location. Best wishes, John Fowler Holidays

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great sea view from the tent pitch. Nice infrastructure with swimming pool, play park and evening entertainment for the kids. Good facilities overall! Convenient for the beach.

Disliked: The tent area without electricity is on quite an incline, good for a night and if you're quite high up. When we went there was only another tent apart from us, so we could choose a less slopey area, otherwise it's quite a challenge for the night.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Unfortunately due to the location of Widemouth there is very little that can be done to level out the pitches, this is why we felt it was important to list the park on Pitch Up as situated in a hilly location. We do hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, John Fowler Holidays

Local attractions

Widemouth Bay is where you’ll find the surf: if you’re new to launching yourself happily into the waves there are surf and bodyboarding schools dotted all around here and Bude, and Newquay is within 50 minutes' drive. Bude less than 10 minutes by car has a couple of excellent beaches: Summerleaze, to have a dip in the sea pool at the bottom of the cliffs and to bag a beach hut for hire so you can pretend for one fleeting afternoon that it’s your very own, and Crooklets, which you can reach by a short stroll from Summerleaze Down. Both beaches, and the sea pool at Summerleaze, are lifeguarded. The staff at Widemouth Bay Caravan Park recommends a car to see the best of Cornwall, but you won’t have very far to drive to reach most of the main hotspots: the Eden Project is about 50 minutes away, and Tintagel, legendary home of King Arthur and Merlin, is just along the coast.
