  • 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.

Lori O.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We’ve stayed at a lot of campsites over the years, but this one really stands out. The facilities are some of the best we’ve come across – showers are hot, powerful, and spotless, and the toilets are always clean. The flat pitches mean you can set up quickly without a fuss. The owner clearly takes pride in the place and goes above and beyond for guests. Add in the unbeatable location right by the beach, and you’ve got a perfect campsite. Highly recommended

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had the best family holiday here! The site is flat which made pitching our tent super easy, and the showers and toilets were spotless the whole time. The owner is really welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had a great stay. Being so close to the beach was the icing on the cake – we’ll definitely be back

Jo S.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Ideal location, lovely site. Warm welcome and it was nice to be able to choose our own pitch.

Disliked The downside for us was that there were only 2 toilets and 2 showers for roughly 30 pitches. Plus only cold water to wash up in, this isn't ideal when you are trying to clean greasy frying pans.

Easy to find and use, great facilities, and a very helpful site owner.

David R.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Good sized pitches. It was great that you could pick your own pitch on arrival. Only 10 other campers there in the middle of August. Reasonably flat level pitches. Clean toilets and showers. Good supply of toilet rolls and hand wash.. Easy walk into Bude town centre and to the beaches. Quiet at night so actually slept in for a change. The site was well maintained. We are definitely booking again.

Disliked Only two small things that could be improved: There’s two sinks but they share one tap so had to wait once before washing up.
Pushing a button every few seconds for the shower.

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.
