Camping pitches with Widemouth Bay views in Cornwall
A five-minute drive from Bude; half an hour from Tintagel
Pub, shop, restaurant and surf hire all a couple of minutes' walk away

Ever dreamed of waking up to a sea view? Or perhaps stoking the flames of a campfire as the sun sets over the waves? Sign up for a bit of both with a stay at Sandparks Campsite, a friendly, informal site with pitches overlooking Widemouth beach in north Cornwall. Those in the know will no doubt recognise this name as being one of Cornwall’s top surfing beaches – and as well as viewing it from your pitch you can also get down there to hit the waves whenever you fancy from here. And it’s not just the beach that’s handy: a pub (with top-notch Cornish ales), a restaurant (with fresh seafood) and a shop (with local meat and fish for your barbecue) are all a mere 50 metres away from the site. There’s also surfing kit hire available for those who don’t have their own board. If you fancy exploring a little further afield, it’s worth noting that this is a fine spot for getting out to walk on the South West Coast Path or to spend some time roaming around north Cornwall. Bude is about a 40-minute walk or five-minute drive away and you can get to the likes of Boscastle, Tintagel and Bodmin Moor within half an hour’s drive. Life on site is pretty simple, but guests have access to a waste disposal point, a washing-up area and a modern toilet and shower block. Barbecues and campfires are both permitted at this laidback spot, as are visiting dogs.

Liked Cleanliness. Friendliness on arrival. Within easy walking distance to beach. Amenities nearby e.g beach cafe for decent coffee and light bites as well as restaurant (didn’t try it so can’t comment), but was reassuring to know it was there if needed.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Absolutely couldn’t fault this campsite. Clear and friendly instructions as you arrive and very fair rules for the site. Wifi is excellent. The facilities were very clean and accommodating. The taps located all round the site are drinking water and fresh tasting. Location is also brilliant with the beach in walking distance. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Disliked Toilet/shower to guest ratio
Post midnight music and shouting from other guests
Campfires close to tents - no separation protocols and lots of smoke

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi,

Sorry you did not enjoy your stay .Sue and Gary (the wardens) are there to sort any issues, but you obviously did not pass any of your concerns on. Just for information the ratio of toilet /showers is within guidelines but obviously will be busy at certain times of day.Separation protocols in place, can only assume you were camping near a bigger group who were camping together. Cannot please everyone in this industry ,99% of people we do, but let us have the opportunity to see if we can do anything to help before placing a review like this. Happy future camping. .

Liked The best campsite I ever been! Toilets and showers on top standard, new and very clean like in hotel. Very friendly staff(especially woman who welcomed me). After leaving allowed to leave my car on their field just outside the gate. Then when I back they allowed me to go to toilet too. Close to beach, cliffs and restaurants. Ocean view! Perfect place!!!!

Local attractions

Widemouth isn’t the only bit of coastal Cornwall that’s easy to visit from here. Sandparks is also in a handy spot for outings to Bude (five minutes’ drive), where another top surf beach beckons, along with surf lessons and a sea pool for more gentle swims. Elsewhere along the coast, you could stop by in Boscastle (20 minutes) for a stroll around a traditional fishing village, or explore Arthurian legends at Tintagel Castle (half an hour) – perhaps also stopping by at the mystical St Nectan’s Glen (25 minutes) to see if you can spot pixies as you walk to the waterfall. Turning inland for a while, there are some great walks to be done on Bodmin Moor (25 minutes), or you could delve into the area’s history at Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum (15 minutes). Other options for entertaining the kids might be the animals at New Mills Farm Park, the puzzle-themed attractions at Hidden Valley or the characterful residents of The Gnome Reserve and Wildflower Garden – all are about a half-hour drive away.
