  • 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.

What customers say

Friendly, scenic spot near beaches & Bude. Praised for clean facilities, level pitches, and welcoming owner Nick. Occasional noise noted. Some suggest more shower cubicles & hot wash-up water. Great value, hidden gem, many want to return.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Such a great campsite! Toilets and showers are well maintained and never had to queue.

Pitches are a very good size and a short walk to the beach and amenities.

We’ve used this campsite several times now in the last few years and will continue to do so.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A lovely quiet site for maybe 1 or 2 nights. Pitches are a good size

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked The facilities are basic but clean. Two showers and two separate toilets. One cold water tap. Would benefit from an outside light above the showers / toilets as it is extremely dark at night and can be difficult to see where you are going as you step out of the cubicles.
Close to the beach 20 minute walk, (will need a torch for the walk back if after early evening) and Bude town centre
We arrived in Bude earlier than expected I contacted the owner and he was happy for us to check on to the site.

Disliked The hot water in the shower was only hot for 1 minute before running cold, very quick shower!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked New favourite, great clean facilities and the location is unbeaten as there are two beaches that are 10 minutes stroll away plus your not far from Bude town, real peaceful site. Nick the owner is a top bloke also. Very welcoming.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Had a great stay in Bude at Wildly Camping. Great communication throughout our stay and a good host. The campsite is in a quieter part of Bude making it a good place to enjoy the lovely town but get a bit of peace and quiet at the end of the day. Decent pitch with good ground for camping. The toilets and showers were clean and warm. It's secluded with trees which gives a nice countryside feel. The nearest beach is a few mins away, it's an ideal location for us as a couple but could imagine families also. Thanks for such a lovely stay!

Recommend to friends Visit again

All in all, this is a lovely, peaceful, clean little campsite. Great!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Everything really.
The location is excellent; a short walk to a lovely beach in one direction. A slightly longer (but perfectly reasonable) walk along quiet lanes into Bude.
Lovely owner, Nick, is always available, very helpful and friendly.
Very clean and smart toilets and showers.

Disliked Umm, the only suggestion we could think of is maybe a supply of hot water for the excellent washing up area?
Otherwise nothing.

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.
