Fabulous setting overlooking the bay and the coast path. Really great clean facilities. Plenty of camping space. Bus stops for Bude and Crackington Haven close to the site. A really relaxing stay which was intended as a budget break but actually felt quite luxurious.

Cleanliness of all facilities and location of the site

Not really a dislike but a couple of electric socket in the toilet block would be a nice to have for me.

The location is fantastic with views of the beach which is a short stroll across the road. The facilities, showers toilets are modern and lots of them. Also they offer fridge space.

Nothing

Great spot, lovely facilities and the pub on the edge of the site was amazing

Nothing oh the wind lol but can't do anything about the weather

Amazing Stay at Sandparks Campsite!

I had a fantastic time at Sandparks — this site offers the basic yet perfect blend of coastal charm and countryside feel. The pitches are spacious but take your leveling ramps, not many are 100% level, the facilities kept clean and are modern, the breakfast wagon make life morning life wonderfully convenient if you enjoy your bacon and sausage as you yawn your way into the day. I loved waking up to the sea breeze and scenic views, helpful friendly staff. WiFi is a bit iffy in some spots, but I didn't go for the WiFi. As a bonus there is a farm shop, limited stock but you can smash a meal together 'ready steady cook style' just over the road (08.00 - 14.00 7 days a week) its a bit open all hours style, you can't walk round, it is counter service. 4 candles anyone ?

Widecome bay beach (200m as the seagull flies) is a great beach location a couple of pubs, 2 x beach cafes, RNLI life guards, surf hire and tuition. Its a cracking place to unwind. South end of the beach is all day dog friendly off lead. North end has limitations through the summer. You can walk into Bude along the coastal path (approx 1 hour) or from the site head for the Canal Route out over the back of the site a 3 mile walk that after the first 3/4 mile is flat canal path. Alternatively there is an hourly bus service that will transport you and your dog into Bude for £2.50 and 12 mins of travel time, saves you breaking camp.

Plenty to do in Bude, more beaches, it has some lovely pubs, bars and cafes. Plenty of decent shops for all your surf style look. A sainsburys at the top of town and it even boasts a great links golf course.

Overall, Sandparks is a very well situated gem for anyone looking to unwind by the coast — I’ll definitely be back!

The only slight downside was the chalk gravel road up through the main camping area: every time a vehicle rolled over it, a little dust cloud kicked up, and depending on wind direction anyone camping either side (mainly the EHU pitches) recieved some dust.

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.
