  • Simple but well-maintained Cornwall farm site in Poughill
  • A five-minute drive from Bude; 10 minutes from Widemouth Bay
  • Easy access from the Atlantic Highway (A39); lovely views all round
Most pleasant indeed are the surroundings at Mount Pleasant Camping – this small pop-up site in the village of Poughill looks out over the stunning north Cornwall coastline in one direction and has distant views of Bodmin Moor in the other… how’s that for a view or two? The farm site is mostly surrounded by grassland and arable fields, so mornings and evenings are lovely and peaceful. As a working farm with animals in the fields and due to a nearby repair garage, there may be some smells and noises on occasion during the daytime (and with the stunning surrounding grasslands, the location can also experience some wind). The village location is a handy one for proximity to a pub, and there are shops in Bude or Stratton, as well as a small shop and a fish and chips takeaway within 10 minutes' walk of the site. If you're looking out towards the coast, you’ve probably got the town of Bude in your sightline – it's about five minutes’ drive away and home to some of the area’s best beaches, especially if you’re into surfing. The farm is also only a little way from the Atlantic Highway (aka the A39), opening up the possibility of outings to all sorts of choice spots nearby, including Tintagel, Port Isaac and Bideford. Back at base, you’ll be staying on pleasantly level pitches with access to two clean unisex toilets, a warm shower, a washing-up area, a drinking water tap, a rubbish/recycling point and an Elsan point. When the weather is good, you may well be treated to gorgeous sunsets, good views and stunningly starry night skies while you’re here.

 Anna E. 1 review

Unpowered grass site

Liked This is a great little campsite, with one of the best views in Bude by far. It’s as basic as you can get BUT the owners have provided proper WiFi and very clean toilets and showers, and waking up to that view from your tent in the morning sunshine is a real treat. Thanks for being super friendly, but not overbearing. I hope these guys can keep this site going as it really is a gem!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Anna 🙂 Your review really made us smile! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and appreciated what we’re trying to create here. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos too, and we hope we’ll see you again in the future.

Would definitely stay again!

Liked Very peaceful, clean and friendly owners! The views are just spectacular

Disliked There isn’t anywhere for ball games/children to play, however this is also a bonus if you want the ultimate peaceful camp site!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for your lovely review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the views, the peace and quiet and your stay with us. It was a pleasure having you.

We also appreciate your comment about there not being a play area. We do welcome families, but we don’t advertise children’s play facilities, so hopefully that helps future guests decide whether our little campsite is the right choice for them.

Thanks again, and we hope to see you back again one day.

Local attractions

Bude (five minutes’ drive) is a fabulous place to spend a day or few – as well as some gorgeous beaches in Crooklets and Summerleaze, it's also got an open-air sea pool, a seaside links golf course, a castle and numerous other family-friendly activities. Of course, it’s also known for its surfing, so you might like to bring along a board, hire kit in town or sign up for surf lessons if you need a bit of guidance. Widemouth Bay (10 minutes) is the place to go for consistent surf waves. And if you don’t fancy surfing, perhaps a hike along the local section of the South West Coast Path is more your bag? Elsewhere along the coast, you may like to stop in at the cute fishing village of Port Isaac (45 minutes), see where King Arthur (may have) hung out at Tintagel Castle (40 minutes) or cross into Devon for a day at Westward Ho! (40 minutes). If you’ve got the kids with you, places like the Milky Way Adventure Park (25 minutes) and The Big Sheep (35 minutes) are likely to be popular choices for a day out.
