The location

Ah, where do I begin? This campsite could be a gem — stunning location, just a 10-minute stroll to the sea (which kindly roars you to sleep... and occasionally back awake). Bude is beautiful, the beaches nearby are dreamy. Sadly, that's where the dream ends.

Enter: The Manager — part campsite owner, part tent dimension denialist, full-time patrol officer. I’m convinced he runs the place like he’s prepping for a camping edition of Squid Game. He eyeballs your setup like you’re parking a Boeing 747. Didn’t bother to read the tent dimensions we sent, and then had the cheek to complain that our (perfectly normal) T5 van and modest awning were apparently a crime against camping humanity.

The pitch? More like a game of Tetris on expert mode. Tent barely fit. Car? Good luck. Could’ve put us on the bigger pitch next door — but nah, that would’ve made sense. Once the field filled up, it turned into a festival of elbows and torchlights — people stumbling past our tent all night like they were on a midnight pilgrimage to the loos.

Also — forget maps or useful info. Just vibes (and surveillance). And the ground? Rocky near the road, like someone paved it with regrets and rubble. We basically slept on a bag of gravel.

To be fair: the toilets and showers were okay... when it wasn’t packed. But as soon as more tents arrived? Chaos. Think Glastonbury on a bad day, but with less music and more soap rationing.

Bottom line: If you enjoy being watched like a hawk, having your tent squished into a space smaller than your last parking ticket, and paying premium rates for chaos... you’ll love it here! If not, maybe try literally anywhere else.

Would not stay again unless the management is replaced with someone who reads pitch sizes and doesn’t act like a campsite prison warden.

So close to the beach!..perfectly placed for exploring the north Cornwall coast and nearby towns.

Beautiful spot, well-maintained pitches, modern & spotlessly clean facilities, easy to find and friendly and helpful owners - what's not to like? :-)

Spacious pitch sizes, you choose where you want to set up. ( i chose top end, so my dog was away from others as there is an embankment no one can pitch on - space for my tethered dog - see picture)
Nice and quiet for how big it is. People respected the 10pm quiet time rule. No road noise through the night. Quiet. No animals waking you up ( considering it is next to lots of farm land, unless we got lucky )

Shower / toilet block very modern and very clean. The whole campsite is spotless.
The wardens of the campsite are lovely and friendly. They leave you alone unless you need them ( then they will help you etc)
Free wifi if u need. However i had phone signal the whole time.

The beach opposite is lovely (however dogs are not permitted summer months between 9 and 6pm)
There is a couple mile walking trail acessible through the gate at the back.
Theres a shop across the road and a nature reseve, lovely little area for dogs on leads rule ( fishing pond) . Also the coastal path for walking.

Theres a pub restaurant next to the field. And another across the road and more within 1 - 5 miles
Lots to do outside the campsite if you fancy an evening / day out
Lots of other beaches in driving distance.
All surfers paradise everywhere

Highly recommend this place to camp

Good location

Hot weather (30 plus degrees) not their fault lol

Had to leave early as i could not escape the blistering heat ( in a tent) Otherwise i would of stayed the full 6 nights.

Location so near lovely beach.
Rules quiet time after 10pm which was followed.
Decent shower and toilet facilities and access to fridge

Not allocated pitches, so could pitch anywhere, oftern come back in the day and found somebody else pitched up literally touching distance from your tent so no privacy and can hear everything.

Relaxed, very clean toilets and showers.
Use of freezers, spacious flat pitches.
Great sea views, quick & easy access to to beach, shop & pub.

Nothing to dislike

Great location, clean toilets, showers and washing up facilities, WiFi and reasonable prices, easy access to beach

Lack of marked pitches meant people could set up very close to you, or park how they wanted taking up more space than necessary. Much of the field is sloping. It felt overcrowded with 150 + vehicles on the weekend we visited in early July

Stunning views. Excellent facilities. Wi-Fi very good which is a novelty when camping. Great pub by site

We were there wed-sun. Got very busy from Fri tho

Location close to the beach and pub

Price of electric pitch

A warm friendly welcome nothing was too much trouble. Clean and comfortable on the beach site. Would definitely recommend to fellow campers.
