  • 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…

Liked Dog field, Friendly staff

Disliked The games room/arcade was poorly ran, no instructions or a notice saying you have to go to a member of staff to leave a deposit then put your money to play air hockey - Same with the pool table.
Vender machines were not restocked.
The park it’s self says dog friendly, we sat in the entertainment and was asked to move several times (our dogs are very well behaved)

Adam R. 2 reviews

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The space and the facilities were good, and very clean.
The highlight for us was the staff and entertainment team - the 3 'stripeys' were really excellent and considering they were all relatively new they organised the kids and the activities really well whilst keeping us entertained. I have 2 young children so we didn't stay until the cabaret but early evening was great.
The bar, restaurant and reception staff were really friendly and helpful.

Disliked The arcade was a bit sad with a lot of the machines were out of order. I did see families winning huge amounts of tickets but I honestly don't know where from :)

Harriet L. 1 review

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked It was nice to have facilities for the children - mini golf, arcades. Beautiful views across to the sea. We enjoyed Widemouth Bay, Bude canal and eating at LAB, Summerleaze.

Disliked The pool felt dirty - maybe some more chlorine needed and a general refurb. The pitches were sloping and not defined. The tents felt all quite close together and you had to watch children closely due to traffic.

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.
