What customers say

Great spot near beaches, with super friendly staff. Families love the entertainment & activities. Facilities generally clean, though some find them dated & pitches sloped. Noise & long walks to amenities were noted by a few. Many would still return.

Sarah b.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Club house was good had good food just not a big selection if eating most nights

Disliked Lack of amenities in camping area, seen ppl peeing next to tents due to long walk to the only toilet block. Which was also where the only waste water and toilet emptying was. Lighting was not good and roads full of holes, im unsteady on my feet nearly fell in dark multiple times

Afiqah R.

Powered grass tent campsite (large)

Liked Facilities suitable for families with kids. Toilets are cleaned regularly.

Disliked For a park this big, having only 3 washing machines & 3 dryers are insufficient. The laundrette also opens from 9am-8pm only, limiting the time we can use these facilities. During peak times, we had to wait almost 3 hours to get the laundry done, with long queues.

Some areas have no wifi connection which is not ideal.

Lee D.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Check in service was very good, customer service was great in general, all questions got answered.

Location was on the hill so the view was amazing with the sea not far from you.

Water point was close enough and power point was convenient.

Security was one of the best on site, always seeing them around, they were super helpful and friendly too.

Disliked Toilet was average and dated, only few showers on the older block and we queued for ages then it was no water. We had to go to the newer block with 3 showers to queue again. With the size of this camp site, definitely need more facilities.

Entertainment was ok but the queue at the bar was so long. Same for the food, 90 mins waiting time for burger and chips. Show was over by the time food arrived.

Swimming pool was so dirty and packed! Signs said no jumping into the pool but lots of jumping in, said no ball game but lots of kids playing ball games. It’s too small to have all these activities. Safe guard was very uninterested to care. Also lots of dead flies and hair when you swim. Gross.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Large pitch size
Stunning views
Good for kids riding bikes

Disliked The toilets are dirty,
showers are cold
entire site on a hill so be prepared to roll
Out of bed regularly.
Large hill to walk from Clubhouse/pool/arcade to top.
Can only book swimming at reception day before, if at the top long way down.
Food was not great in the clubhouse. Arcade games shocking.
Went to play bingo but it’s cash only so we couldn’t.
Crazy golf, old and tired and again all on a slope.
Pool was ok but not the best
Park not the safest child flew off as design meant went to fast ( he is 9)
The worst part was the toilet blocks were emptied (which I appreciate has to happen) but it was done over lunchtime 12-1 and the entire upper site smelt like a slurry pit so bad that my child threw up and meant we couldn’t eat out our camper and had to leave site. Perhaps consider timings of this being done.

Liked Lovely, family friendly site with plenty to do for all ages! Including our 4-legged members

Disliked That dog owners were made to sit outside. We missed all the entertainment and had to sit outside where it was cold, so ended up leaving early

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.
