  • Green and rural site within walking distance of beaches
  • A mile and a half from Bude town centre; Boscastle a half hour drive
  • Dogs, campfires and barbecues all allowed
Park up, admire the view and then wander down to the beach at Wildly Camping, a friendly Cornish site about a mile and a half from Bude town centre. With acres of space, peaceful vibes and a great coastal location, this site makes an excellent place to settle down, whether you're travelling as a family, solo, as a group of friends or with your dog. Surrounded by farm fields, Wildly Camping has essential amenities including luxury toilets and hot showers, two drinking water points and a recycling corner. It's an unlit site, so you'll want to pack a good quality torch with you to get around after dark. Barbecues and campfires are allowed. While it feels thoroughly wild (a vibe sustained by the site’s quiet hours at night after 10pm), this spot is within easy reach of civilisation when you need it. Pubs, shops, supermarkets and a tea room can be walked to within about half an hour, and the speedy A39 road is five minutes away by car, making it easy to zip around and see your favourite bits of the West Country.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Friendliness of the owner, Nick.
Clean facilities.
Almost flat pitches.

Disliked Location. Driving involves single track lane with numerous speed bumps and blind corners. Walking requires walking along these same lanes which have enough traffic in summer.
Queuing for the two showers or the two toilet cubicles.
There is a road alongside the site with infrequent, but noisy, vehicles.
Several campers had dogs which barked frequently at each other.

Local attractions

Bude is a well-liked seaside hub, with several top-quality sandy beaches, a wide range of independent shops and a number of well-regarded surf schools that will help you take your first steps on the board. Other top leisure options include golf clubs with sea views, offshore fishing charter trips and, if you really want to slow the pace down, beach hut rental, which is available by the day. For days out of town, simply set out north from the site, taking the South West Coast Path into the gorgeous Hartland Heritage Coast area (about a mile from base). Walk the 45 minutes across the cliff tops to Sandymouth Bay, or pack a picnic and press on to Duckpool beach (an hour and 20 minutes on foot), a remote mix of sand and shingle that's bound to be even quieter. Being in such a central location opens up explores further afield as well: other north Cornwall gems like Boscastle (30 minutes) and Tintagel (40 minutes) if you want to head west, while Devon sights like Clovelly (30 minutes) and Bideford (40 minutes) lie in wait to the east and north.
