We have just returned from a touring holiday round Cornwall and Budemeadows was by far the best campsite. The owners were helpful and polite, and have lots of info on surrounding area.
The weather was mixed, but our hardstanding pitch with large grassed area was well situated. Others in the main tent area were not so fortunate as it was quite waterlogged in parts.
The pool was lovely and warm, there is also a well equipped outdoor and indoor games area. Excellent clean shower blocks.
Our 10year old made lots of friends and it was very safe for them to run about all over the site. However, it was quiet at night.
An extremely well stocked shop, with a bar and a takeaway serving breakfast and evening meals was a big plus. A cold bottle of wine and a proper cup of coffee!
There are several supermarkets nearby and Bude itself was a nice town with a good beach.
We would definitely recommend this site and will return.

Well this was our second visit.The first one being back in 2006 when we had a fantastic time with no concerns.
Since this time there are now new owners of the site.
You could not ask for nicer people to run this friendly,family run site.
The site was fairly full and the pitches had all had a good soaking. Our pitch had been well prepared prior to our arrival with a good layer of sand and a walking board had been provided to act as a walk way to enter our tent once pitched.
The site has a strict 5 mph speed limit it is just a shame that only cars and vans follow this code. Kids on bikes and scooters seem to be oblivious to this speed limit and it can be very dangerous for pedestrians. So watch out!
The little shop and bar facilities are great. The snack meals are a god send if you don't want to cook lots.
I do hope the new owners will invest some money into revamping the washing,showers and toilet blocks. They were ok but could be upgraded sooner rather than later as nothing seemed to have been changed since our last visit.But they were clean and as other people point out loads of hot water.
This is a fantastic site and great for people who have not done loads of camping.
The kids play area is great however the death slide caused a fair few injuries in the time we were there not because it is dangerous.Just lack of supervision by the parents in my book.I spent a fair few hours with my 6 and 8 year olds in the play area and watched in horror as 5 kids wizzzzzed down it over and over until it jerked them all off in a heap on the floor.
Supervision parents please!
The pool is fantastic and very warm.
The outdoor games by the pool are very tired and need some attention.
Overall a fantastic place despite any comments that sound negative.
We used the beaches in Bude most of the time. Lifeguards keep a close eye on you. The food in the seafront cafe is expensive and you have to wait ages. The Toilets are filthy and disgusting. It's the same in Widemouth bay as well!
Tintagel,Boscastle and Crackington Haven are great trips out as was the Otter Sanctuary.
We will go back to Budemeadows again I am sure

For us this was a very pleasant site as we had hardstanding.
Staff were OK, good shop and bar and the takeaway meals very good value for money.
Being so close to the sea it got breezy, but the hedgerows helped keep this down.
Toilets and showers were spacious and clean.
Very handy for Widemouth bay, where we spent a lovely afternoon. Lots to see and do nearby. I would go again if in the area.
But, the major downside is the mud. If the owners spent some money on the drainage problem this could be an excellent site.

I appreciate you can't control the weather but the pitches were sodden & muddy, drainage is obviously a big problem. We had pre-booked our pitch as we have a large tent but the pitches were small and we only just fit our tent and gazebo on. The toilet blocks were 'quaint' and showers not much more than a trickle but were very clean. We found that the owners didn't seem to mix and on the day we left they were there to check we had cleaned up our pitch (which of course we had) but not a word about if we had enjoyed our holiday or safe journey home etc.
The plus is the heated pool but kids must be accompanied at all times and the park is ideal for small children. We didn't use the bar at all so can't comment on this.

We have recently returned from a week at Bude Meadows. The previous week there had been heavy rain. Our pitch was waterlogged and very muddy. The owners did provide us with duck boards however as we were at the bottom of the hill, we had one of the worst affected pitches and the number of duckboards was inadequate although other less affected pitches seemed to have more than us!
The shower blocks were clean and had plenty of hot water however due to the sinks being inside the toilet cubicles, we did find ourselves having to queue for the toilets.
The pitches themselves were very small and the site felt very tightly packed.
The swimming pool was fantastic, clean and heated.
The nearby beaches were also great.

We have just returned from a nice week at budemeadows. We had poor weather while there but still had a great time.
Its a lovely site with reasonable sized pitches, although the pitches tend to get rather muddy in poor weather, perhaps a little more than other sites we visited during our stay. But hey, the owners cant control the weather.
The toilet blocks coped well given that the site was near full, although maybe a little dated but very clean and well kept. No problems with hot water there's plenty.
The pool is nice and warm (must cost a fortune to keep it at that temperature). It does appear smaller in real life than the pictures suggest as does the whole site.
The shop has every thing you could need and there is a morrisons about 3 miles away should you need it.
Grumpy petes bar is small but friendly, no music or tv in the evenings so can be a very quiet bar. The internet room ajoining the bar has computers for use at £1 per half hour. There is also a food van next to the bar serving breakfast and evening meals which you can eat in the bar, we found the food delicious and very well priced.
A perfect site for kids, ours are 8 and 5 and we let them play all over the site as its very safe 5mph speed limit which is obeyed as there are so many kids about on bikes. The play area is superb and there is also other outdoor games such as giant chess/draughts, giant connect 4, a skittle alley and table tennis, also the games room is good.
Overall a great little site, only niggle is the drainage issue which seemed to affect all the pitches, but in better weather I don't think I could fault it.
