  • 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…

What customers say

Steep site with sloping pitches but amazing sea views, top staff, and great facilities (pool, clubhouse). Facilities clean but a bit old. Handy for beach/towns. Some noise/terrain gripes.

Liked Great place great location. Very helpful!

Disliked Electric hook up did not work so spent hours trying to figuring that out. But staff lent longer wires with a cash deposit and a phone power packs to to tie us over! Staff took my wire away and left it in the rain so have to buy a new one.
Ending up leaving a day early!

Liked The girl dealing with the tourers was absolutely fantastic, couldn't do more for us.

Disliked The pitches are extremely sloped. Our pitch was a bog, I would say it should have been made unavailable like some of the others where. The pool was absolutely disgusting

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked A lovely site with extremely pleasant staff all very welcoming and friendly with a very pleasant bar and entertainment facility our pitch was lovely reasonably flat with views of the bay .
We will definitely be returning soon.

Disliked As we were there out of season but we felt everything was ok.
The only drawback was the lack of privacy to just have a wash ,all in that won’t stop us going again

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.
