 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.

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.

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.

We booked a bell tent for three nights at £150 but found the one toilet for 6 family tents did not have hot water in the sink and the shower went completely off when the washup sink was used.
It was all off one gas canister and in a field quite a distance from the bell tent, with rusty old caravans in.
We asked to stay one night instead of three and the owners daughter said she had to check with her dad who was really angry and quite scary.
We were very glad to leave and don't want any one else to feel intimidated or threatened by this bonkers owner who provides shoddy facilities.

Just returned after spending 5 nights over the bank holiday. Found site easy from the directions that were given to us & as we were given our pitch number we were able to go straight to it. Pitch was slightly sloping but we managed to level ourselves out!
The site was very busy over the weekend & was a bit worried about the amount of toilets/showers on site. No need to worry though as we never had to wait once the whole time we were there. Both the toilets & showers, although basic were always clean.
The walk into Bude takes about 20 minutes & the directions we were given by the friendly staff were easy to follow.
This is a basic site, but we had a lovely 5 relaxing days here & will return again if in the area.
The only negatives about it is that there was no drain to dump the grey waste from our onboard tank. However, we were told you can empty it down the toilet waste!
Also, the farm dog was allowed to wander around the site, which was fine until it did a poo on our pitch!

After reading reviews on this site we were wary of going! Especially once we have received the email from the site (only a few days before due to arrive) advising us about the fine for non-breathable groundsheets and the need to take your own toilet roll! But after a phone call we agreed to lift our groundsheet daily when we went out to let the ground breath and not get fined. It was a bit of a pain but it was a compromise.
SO. Off we went! And I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The site was quiet, and friendly. The kids loved the playground, which was very close to the camping field. They also loved the shell craft workshop which for £7 each kept them entertained for an hour one damp afternoon. At night we saw the milk-way and during the day often we just chilled on site.
The facilities are basic, but from a scout leader, they are much better than scout camps! every day I had a hot shower and only once had to wait. And that was on a sunny evening when most people had been to the beach and wanted to wash down.
As far as the cleanliness of the facilities. They were spotless! Every morning a warden came round with a jet wash and washed the whole set of cubicles down which left everything looking and smelling very clean.
Bude is a half hour walk away (a bit longer with little legs!) and its a lovely town with 2 beaches. There are quieter beaches within 5 miles north or south which I would definitely recommend. It did get very busy (summer hols!) but this just meant that some days we only left the site at 3pm, as driving into Bude early on a sunny day is bedlam! There is a big Morrisons very close for shopping. The site shop had bits and pieces but didn't stock much.
Overall we were happy with the site, it did us fine for our first visit to Cornwall

Just back from a two night stay.
Having read the reviews we were prepared for a basic site but even so!
Arrived and tried to find camping field - the grass was so long at the entrance that the sign was hidden. On arrival at camping field all pitches are steep and grass very long. Wasn't ideal - particularly this morning in the rain. One short trip to the toilet block and shoes ended up soaked through.
Showers basic - didn't mind 'tin roof and cobbled together from stuff from the farm' feel, but wasn't impressed with no drainage and standing in half a foot of water from my shower whilst trying to shower and dry self and a rowdy 3 year old while water floods out to the ante-shower area that is supposed to be dry!
Washing up facilities adequate, used the undercover one and there was plenty of hot water.
First night there was us, 3 other tents and 2 resident caravans (apparently staff). Second night about 4 touring caravans arrived. Despite this, facilities were never cleaned once. Don't think they've been cleaned all year. There is a new toilet block half way up the field (new for this year) we had to ask for the water to be switched on so the toilet would flush but they wouldn't turn on the water to the showers. Despite being new, this wasn't clean either. Several months of dead insect life in the hand basin.
Kids play area was decent enough and seeing the chickens, donkey and sheep took up an interesting 10 mins, but even my animal keen 3 year old didn't want to bother with a second viewing.
Got the distinct feeling that the guests in the surf pods and cottages had a very different experience.
Location was ideal for visiting Bude which is approx 5 minute drive, but downside is A39 runs along the top of the camping fields so traffic noise all night. Lidl and Morrisions about 3 minute drive.
All in all, won't be rushing back!

Stayed last year in September. Ground was damp and there is a sloping gradient so I slid a bit.
I had a good rest. I was alone no one else was there. Facilities were good but basic. Line of toilet sheds. Washing sink showers. Clean. Everything worked ok.
The site is close to a coastal road so I could hear some traffic but only occasionally and it wasn't heavy.
Bude by bike is 10 minutes away. Down a hill which is not challenging but gears are useful. Bude has a Morrisons.
As the website says it's a proper camp site. Grass sun the wind sun mud if it's wet.
It's not a holiday park. Urgh and I hope to go back again.

Having read some of the sites negative reviews here, it was with trepidation that we booked for a three day break on this site to visit Bude. Both of us have worked at camp sites in the UK and abroad as wardens and are used to the expectations and comments of clients, ranging from the sensible and practical to the unrealistic, and in a lot of cases, extremely unfair.
Expecting the worst, we found it easily, were impressed with the beautifully planted entrance drive to the site and nice welcome from the owner. Okay, for those of us who like to be pampered, you won't find that here. You won't have lots of pamphlets throughst into your hand and a 30 minute briefing of where everything is! Lets face it, you never remember half of it anyway, and the pamphlets end up not being read. We were left to find our own way to the non electric pitch, and once there found it to be really spacious, on a shallow slope. Lovely views of surrounding countryside, and a practical if very basic toilet and shower block. Tip for those who have reported negatively on having cold showers - they get cold because of safety electric cut outs when the pressure of water reduces, particularly in mornings where the main toilets and showers down hill are being used, leaving little to find its way uphill to the block serving the higher pitches. Not difficult to work out, if they don't heat up, go to the bottom block - simple. We weren't bothered by anyone, staff or otherwise - okay, as wardens ourselves we enjoy chatting to clients, giving them local information when requested, having a laugh, being seen around the site etc, BUT this site is extremely well priced, without bells and whistles, and offers basic, efficient amenities, provided you are not expecting hotel service, and can use your own eyes to locate facilities! Good atmosphere, met some lovely people there, and will definitely visit again, because we love Bude!
