 Extremely dirty toilets and pot washing facilities

Not cleaned in the time we were there.

When we complained owners were rude.

Wouldn't recommend anyone stay here especially families with children.

Bins overflowing and rats running around them.

Will never go back there.

 So close to being a fantastic campsite.

This campsite is so nearly there. The location is excellent—just a mile from Bude with easy access off the A39. The views are stunning, it's quiet and incredibly relaxing, and the pitches in what the owner called the “tepee field” are absolutely massive.

However, like others have mentioned, the site lets itself down with the facilities. The showers were only lukewarm, some didn’t have any hooks for clothes, and one of the toilets didn’t even have a seat. There were several abandoned old caravans scattered around, and it seemed like some might still be occupied.

When we arrived, the owner/manager seemed unaware of our online booking. It took a while to sort things out—only after the two owners had a rather awkward argument about it.

It’s such a shame, because this place has so much potential to be amazing. But until the basics are improved, we won’t be returning—which is disappointing, because I really did love the location.

 As many people have already said this is a campsite to book and stay with your eyes OPEN, I stayed here over the Easter weekend in a 1960s Camper (No toilet/Shower) and that's the problem, the toilets and showers are rudimentary at best, the owner even told us when the toilet paper ran out that it was complimentary?? inferring that we were lucky to have it.

The top field showers are tepid at best and the washing up facility tap isn't even connected to water! the bottom set you can see in/out of when in the shower plus there's no hooks to hang anything up.

The rubbish is burnt on site plastic and all (too tight to pay for waste disposal).

If you are in a self contained unit with amenities this campsite is bearable if you are without those tent, campervan etc don't bother.


Its a shame as with some thought this campsite could be decent but looking at the reviews. The same issues have been reported for the last 10 years.

 As we all look forward to 2023s summer breaks take time to read this statement regarding Atlantic Farm Bude.

I've read a lot of negative statements regarding this campsite which disappoints me. Firstly Atlantic Farm is not the Ritz its a farm with pitches, electric feed, water and showers, toilets and most importantly its value for money,

They do not advertise Bars pools etc its just an old fashioned campsite with old fashioned values where you call base.

Bude is 1 mile away. This site is where you can go and feel relaxed. No noise no car traffic great spaces for play and barbecue's so please if you want the noise hassle and clusters of people its not for you.

 Great little site. Nice and clean. Pitches wide enough for awning and partically enlosed with bushes.

The faclities are just fine - a little quirky but spotlessly clean. A short 30 min walk into Bude.

Easy to find off the main rod too.

Reviewer: Frigletts 2 reviews from this member

 As we went out of lockdown and with virtually no foreign holidays, we had trouble finding somewhere not fully booked, so we were happy to find vacancies at Atlantic Farm. This should have warned us of what to expect! On arrival we experienced rudeness from the staff which surprised us as the lady who took our phone booking was sweet and friendly.

The pitches are sloping, small and close together and the further you go up the hilll the more cramped it gets. The toilets are modelled on the Australian “dunny”, sheds with tin roofs.

There were two of them at the bottom of the hill and two more further up (queues were usual), along with the same number of shower sheds (which did not have a light) and were cleaned daily by a miserable man with a pressure washer.

The first visitors to the toilets after cleaning used up most of the paper trying to dry the facility, hence often there was no toilet paper. Showers were usually cold.

This was a disappointing stay although we made new friends. I would not recommend it and we certainly will not be back.

 Great camp site with a relaxed atmosphere.

Plenty of room to distance if required with lots to see and do.

Toilets and showers were always clean.

Will be returning for sure.

 This campsite has good access from the A39, the site has that cornish feel to it with palm trees and good size pitches all with electric, lots of tents and kids playing but all respected noise levels after 10pm.

As in other reviews only thing that lets this site down is the showers and toilets, I found it best going for a shower late afternoon as in the morning they were cold if the site is full, also the drainage in the showers is very slow.

We would return if there was a better shower block.

Reviewer: John2119 1 review from this member

 Good - Convenient location. Friendly staff. Quiet after 10pm.

Bad - this is NOT a spacious campsite (despite other comments) - tent pitches were big enough to get your tent up and park your car next to it - the next pitch and their vehicle / tent would be within 2 or 3 metres of you which as the best of times isn't very nice. There appeared to be little or no efforts for additional social distancing as all the pitches seemed to be in full use. I guess £££ are too attractive to turn away people.

Toilets and shower facilities are quite basic and very few of them - seemed to be 2 of each on the main camping area and the same again at the site entrance. So 4 toilets and 4 showers for the whole campsite male and female ? Expect to queue to use them.

Just based on the cramped pitches - especially in a COVID-19 pandemic and limited facilities I probably wouldn't come here again or recommend it.

Reviewer: Max111 1 review from this member

 Facilities at this site are atrocious. Showers are basic with tepid water that runs out if others are using it. Washing up facilities are not covered so unpleasant when it rained. Too few toilets when busy and no toilet paper that I found and area is badly lit.

Customer service is awful. The campsite owner is rude and aggressive. Worst campsite I have used. Shame as Bude is only 20 mins drive away.
