This campsite was the first stop on a weeks adventure, walking the Coast Path. The directions sent with the booking confirmation were very accurate and helpful, the journey was not stressfull at all.
The site was kept spotlessly clean and staff were helpful.
The facillities were excellent , with everything you could need there. The takeaway was particularily good, with home cooked, well priced meals.
The setting was convienient next to the A39, and even though our pitch was next to the road, the road noise was not a problem. The location was a good walk from Widemouth Bay, but there is little there, so it was a good job the campsite had such good facilities. We found a good pub in Marhamchurch on the way back from Bude, which is worth visiting.
There was an excellent array of info and leaflets which were accessible 24hrs. Grumpy Petes bar served delicious cappucinnos and real Ale in bottles.
The directions to this site which were sent with the booking confirmation were great. On arrival at this site we was shown to our pitch by a member of staff, the pitch was spacious and in great condition considering the dire weather we had had in the week leading up to our visit. The site was clean and tidy and obviously well cared for, the toilet blocks/showers although a little dated were obviously cleaned throughout the day because they were spotless.
Grumpy Pete's bar was very handy for the odd drink or two when required.
The only down side that I found on this site was that there was no designated dog walk area, so if you are a dog owner who likes to take your pooch with you be prepared to find somewhere else to exercise them.
We will definitely be returning to this site but perhaps minus the dog.
We have been to this site 5 times and are returning in 2008. The area is fantastic and the site itself is extremely well maintained. The games room, giant chess, petanque and park area are great for the kids. Grumpy Pete's bar is cute and interesting, the shop has everything you could need and Bude itself is lovely.
Widemouth bay is a huge clean beach and is well supervised. If you're in this area Clovelly is a must. If you are unfit get the landrover in and out as its the steepest walk I've ever done, well worth it though.
The pitches on this site are huge and very private. A really cool base to explore the area. Try the Big Sheep adventure park and a run to Lands End. Georges Grill is excellent for food and the Atlantic Diner does great baked cheesecake. The Jersey Cow has lovely Scones with clotted cream and will post some to your relatives at home should you wish. Love this place as it has everything we as a relatively peace loving and chilled out family could want.
Was very easy to find just off a lay-by on the A39 (Atlantic highway) Instructions on how to get there were most helpful.
We were personally shown to our pitch, and a member of staff helped to park our caravan as it was a little too tight to manoeuvre by car.
The site was wonderfully landscaped with hedges and trees to give a sense of privacy. Even though the park was situated by the A39, we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was on site.
The staff were always found to be helpful, indeed, when we had a few problems getting running water in our caravan on setting up, a member of staff gave us some fuses thinking that it was a fuse that needed replacing, and then we were advised of a local caravan dealer, (5 miles away)where we discovered it was a new pump we needed.
At reception there was a tourist information porch set out with lots of info and the customary leaflets.
Although the site wasn’t busy, I should imagine, that even in the height of the season, noise is kept well under control.
The toilets and showers were kept spotless, and there is a bathroom for those who opt for a bath. (Free water!)
The site also has an excellent indoor games room with the likes of pool, a few arcade games, and a tv. The outdoor play area offered ping pong, giant chess game, and skittles. There was also a small field to kick a football including 2 goal posts. In high season, there is an outdoor swimming pool.
The only negative point we found was that Grumpy Petes bar was only open on Friday/Saturday evening, subject to demand. But obviously demand didnt require it to open whilst we were there, which was a pity.
The shop was unmanned, whilst we were here and you had to go to reception to ask someone to open the shop, which was a bit of an inconvenience. Especially if they were busy on the phone taking bookings etc.
Having said that, We thoroughly had a relaxing week here, and would come back again.
If you choose to explore, Several places are nearby. Bude, Tintagel, Boscastle, Port Isaac, even Clovelly (North Devon) is only 40 mins away. Launceston is only 30 mins away.
As said in other reviews, everything fantastic with a nice personal touch! Just to say that the site is perfect for touring north cornwall, Boscastle, Port Isaac, Tintagel, Padstow and of course Bude all within easy reach and well worth the visit and the site is on a good bus route to most places. Lovely stay we will be returning soon I hope.
With sea and countryside views, Tregarton Park is ideal for couples or families with younger children, given its relaxed seclusion and proximity to so many of Cornwall's fine safe sandy beaches. Large grass and hardstanding pitches with electric, divided by hedging and shrubs, perfect for tents and tourers. No statics! Superb toilet and shower block with large glass shower cubicles operated by motion sensors with ceiling mounted shower heads, laundry room, baby changing station.
This peaceful park is home to an outdoor heated swimming pool with waiter service, tennis court, adventure playground, outdoor football table, table tennis, pool table, large shop and take away service. FREE WiFi, dog walking meadow. Pentewan Beach is just five minutes away! Find out more here
Well I really don't see much point in leaving my review because everyone has already said it all!
We have just enjoyed 10 marvellous days at what is a lovely site.
We were shown to our pitch personally on arrival, much nicer than being given a diagram and pointed in the right direction.
All the staff were very friendly, and the site is spotlessly clean.
Our party was 2 adults and 4 children (2 x 14yrs and 2 x 11yrs) no one was bored, there is plenty to do, they loved the giant chess and the table tennis, not to mention the swimming pool which was lovely and warm.
We had car trouble and were without a car for 2 days, no problems here though - we had a great day in the pool etc. One of the owners very kindly offered to get us some shopping whilst she was at Morrisons as we couldn't get there. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty!
Would I go back - without a doubt - highly recommended and a definite ten out of ten!
We received excellent service from prior to booking our pitch at Budemeadows through to departure. As we have a large twin axle caravan we checked on pitch sizes before reserving. The staff very efficiently advised us of all the available pitch numbers that our caravan would fit onto so we were able to select from the site plan. There was a small fee for reserving specific pitches but it was well worth it. On arrival check in was quick & we were shown personally to our pitch. The site was immaculate, with pitch boundaries clearly marked. Pitches were large & in the top fiels level. Lower field sloped. Staff were always visibly busy emptying bins & maintaining grounds & facilities. The ground was still very soft in places due to recent wet weather but the site provided timber decking strips to cover any soft spots & sharp sand. The toilet/showers were always very clean with plentiful hot water & we never had to queue. The Takeaway was very reasonable with daily specials on offer & there was a small bar with both in & outdoor seating areas. The pool was very warm & regularly policed by staff to ensure that safety rules were complied with. Very family friendly site & also for dogs. Though no designated dog walk on site there is a public footpath just along from the site & fantastic beach & cliff walks a mile away. Bude & the surrounding area offer lots to do even if the weather isn't as good as we had! All in all a very clean, relaxing touring park.
Recently returned from a superb 2 weeks at Bude Meadows and would highly recommend this site to any touring/camping visitors to North Cornwall.
We all liked it so much we booked again for another 2 weeks next year. (Even our 12 year old daughter was happy - helped along by the heated outdoor pool, pool/games room and “Grumpy Pete’s” bar/board games/Internet room).
The pitch sizes were good and the electric hook up superb (16amp all round). The toilet blocks and washing up facilities were always clean and have plenty of character (they’re not just prefab buildings in the middle of the site). There are plenty of water/grey waste points around the site but you’re best off using chemical toilet disposal point for your grey waste for ease of use.
The local beach is fantastic and only a mile away (Widemouth Bay). Dogs are allowed on the South beach (which was the quieter beach). Whether on the North or South, the beaches were superb with plenty to do. Great sand, rock pools, shallow pools and superb waves for boarding.
The staff were always helpful and managed to act ‘over and above the call of duty’ on more than one occasion. They made us feel as if we’d known them for years and were part of their extended family. Simply brilliant!
This was our first visit to both Cornwall and to Budemeadows. We had a really enjoyable and relaxing week. The site had a friendly atmosphere about it and we spent many hours relaxing around the pool! The children enjoyed all the facilities the site had. Playground, games room, swimming pool and just riding their bikes around. The facilities were good and clean and the family bathroom was ideal for washing my two sons at the end of the day. 'Grumpy Petes' bar was far from that and the lounge area was well used by us as were all the board games that were available. We will definitely be making a return visit to Budemeadows.
Just returned from this site and found it one of the better sites we've visited. We have a large pitch plenty of room for our large tent and the car.The pool was warm,put could get crowded on occasions.This site had a small stocked shop,a take away service and a small but friendly family bar.There were only 2 showers in the mens block but 3 unisex showers by the pool area,i only had to wait once for a shower,not bad for a six night stay. My 3 children really enjoyed themselves spending at least 2 hours in the pool in the morning and evening and made good use of the games area. We booked in january so if you are after a certain spot then book early.I would defnately use this site again as it was child friendly.

I need to set a backdrop before I begin this review. As we know, the summer of 2007 was a total washout & conditions on-site as we arrived were very poor. The pitches were very waterlogged and soon turned into a very muddy swamp.
On the plus side :-
The site its self is very pleasant with good size pitches (our diablo 600 had plenty of room). The pool was surprisingly big and warm and kept the kids very happy.
A well stocked shop and very friendly staff all round.
Its location is great! only a few miles from Bude, but the real gem is the one mile away,widemouth bay. A great clean beach for surfing, swimming and BBQ's
The down side
There are only 2 showers in the mens and 2 in the ladies on the lower field toilet block and the lack of communal sinks led to long queues for shaving and brushin yer teeth.
i would give budemeadows a 7/10.
To be fair to the management, it was a very difficult situation with all the rain and waterlogged pitches, they really did try to manage the situation using sand & giving out duckboards when they could.
We would definitely return to budemeadows in future.
My husband and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at Budemeadows. The staff were so helpful and friendly, they really went out of their way for you. The showers and toilets were immaculate with hot water and we never had to queue. There was a cafe on site which was run by a delightful American lady who cooked tasty food which was reasonably priced. She fully catered for vegetarians. Grumpy Petes bar was great for a nightcap (or two!). The swimming pool was a luxury we were not expecting. I would visit this site again and again, it's fantastic for children with all the play facilities and great for adults who want to unwind.
This was our first visit to Bude Meadows which is a very clean, tidy and well kept site. When we arrived for our seven night stay we were allocated a pitch that was far too small for our 21' caravan and the only other vacant pitch was only available for four nights. We were offered a grass pitch on the bottom field for the remaining time but due to the amount of rain this summer the ground was too soft, so we left after four nights. The main Shower/toilet block was always clean but could do with a makeover as it is looking a bit dated now. The grey water disposal points are very awkward to use with a wastehog and are very slow to drain. The site is under new ownership this season and the management have a lot to learn about customer relations if they are to maintain the success of this site. If you're looking for surfing lessons we would recommend Outdoor Adventure very keen and enthusiastic instructors catering for all ages and abilities.
Spent a fantastic 2 weeks at this great site. Site is nicely laid out with plenty of room on the pitches. We were on the bottom field next to the toilet block which did get a bit smelly when the tanks were due for emptying so avoid it down there if you can!
There was loads to keep the children occupied & being a family site they made plenty of friends. The swimming pool was always lovely & warm even on chillier days.There was a good play area & a small games room & some outdoor games such as table tennis as well. There was a small take away on site & a little bar with board games to use.Also there was a small shop selling essentials.
My only gripe with the site is that the toilet block on the bottom field was too small. There were 3 toilets but they were contained inside wash cubicles so if ladies were having a wash in the mornings you couldn`t get to use the toilet! Having said that there is a larger toilet block in the top field & I think I would specifically ask to be pitched in that field if I went again.
It was very easy to get down to the beach about 1 mile away & also into Bude which has a nice beach.We had a great day out at Tintagel castle & there is lovely beach at Crackington Haven. The waves were fantastic & our children loved to body board.Keep a close eye on the kids in the sea though as the beaches around here are quite dangerous.
All in all a great site & a good holiday.If we go back to this area we would definitely camp here again.
Just got back from visiting this excellent site showers plenty of space and lashings of hot water always clean, the pool at times was hot enough to be a bath tub! good wash areas, only complaint that the tumble dryers at 50p per ten minute were a pain and would pay more for longer dry times 10 mins for towels was not long enough and we had to keep hanging around to feed the dryer.
The pitches were large and flat and all have electric if required, a busy site with lots of kids and if pitching would recommend choosing a pitch away from the park and games room as these did get a bit noisy during the early evenings but as a rule camp was quiet come 10/11pm would go back agian
