  • Small dog-friendly site close to the North Devon/Cornwall border
  • Half an hour's drive from Bude beaches; bus connection to Bude nearby
  • Walk to shop and pub serving home-cooked meals including breakfast
If you can’t quite decide whether you fancy a trip to Devon or one to Cornwall, Crescent Camping is on hand to sort that dilemma for you… This small family-friendly campsite is just outside the village of Beaworthy, in a handy location right on the border between the two coastal counties. From here you’ll be able to dip in and out of the best attractions of both counties – it’s well placed for the north coasts, for hikes around Dartmoor National Park, for walks and bike rides on the Ruby Way or Granite Way, and for all sorts of other activities including horse riding, fishing and watersports. You'll also be in a good position to drive or catch the bus to the beaches of Bude. Everyday amenities are equally handy: local shops are within walking distance, as is a pub serving home-cooked meals and breakfasts. The nearby villages Bratton Clovelly, Hatherleigh and North Lew have more pubs to explore – although you’re equally welcome to stoke up a barbecue or campfire on site for some outdoor cooking. Simple and laidback are the key words here. Facilities stretch to bathrooms only, but they’ve been nicely done, in a clean modern heated block with a hot shower that’s just the thing after days of hiking or surfing. Please note that cars are not allowed on the grass, but there's a hardstanding parking area about 25 metres from the pitches.
