Clear filters Not for me VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Not for me this and not cheap but it should be. The facilities were not great! I get the whole eco thing but its not an excuse for poor facilities.
It’s all about the location!
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 This camping is in a great spot, that's why I keep coming back.
It's a basic site with basic facilities with composting loos and plenty of hot water, which is all you need. The fields are sloping, so be prepared for that, but the ambience is lovely, relaxed and kind. The site is spacious and you can bring a firepit, which I love, so all good for me!
Absolutely perfect
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 We had a brilliant time here, everything was exactly as described and they couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming and the facilities provided everything we needed. We had a perfect holiday and couldn't have asked for more!
Lovely, peaceful campsite with nearby beaches
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Lovely little campsite, walking distance to Bude and the beaches.
Lovely wholesome weekend away
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 We booked this trip extremely last minute (the day before!) but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The campsite is searchable by name on Google Maps so was very easy to find, and with two fields, there was plenty of space to set up. The location was perfect, just a half hour walk along the coastal path or the canal into Bude, and a short drive to other beautiful beaches also in the area.
The place was peaceful and even though there were a lot of people around, we never had to queue for the toilets or showers. Facilities are basic but do the job.
A great stay!
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 We absolutely loved staying here and the campsite was great.
Our daughter loved all the animals and she met so many friends.
The showers were always warm and the toilets were cleaned regularly. The fire pit was great to loan and we had use of a picnic table too. The walk into Bude along the canal is beautiful.
Will definitely stay here again!
All good
Backpacker Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 All good. Will visit again.
Nice location Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2023 Great location. Pretty simple site. To get into Bude, it's just a a short walk along the canal. The coastal path is a 29 minute stroll the other direction.
The site was very basic. Essentially a field with a rustic shower block. No loo paper in the toilet. No hot water in the showers as the boiler had been switched off. One of the other campers turned the boiler on but the owner seemed to have come around and shut it off again!
It was a freezing cold, rainy morning already and fairly muddy everywhere. To have to then take a cold shower felt pretty poor for a £40 a night site.
I guess it might have been more welcoming in high season.
Peaceful site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2022 Close to coastal path and a beautiful peaceful walk along the canal into Bude. Very peaceful site, a lovely zen quiet space with a wildlife pond and alpacas. Hot showers and everything you need if a bit rustic!
Basic campsite, but clean and friendly
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Basic clean site. It was friendly and well signposted to all amentities. Has phone charger point. Greatly appreciated.
Sweet, traditional camping and a good canal route into town
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Traditional campsite, with basic eco toilets and shower. Well run by the owner. Great location and plenty of space to set up. Nice and relaxed.
Happy campers
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Very happy with this campsite, just the right balance of simple and developed facilities.
Great location for getting to the beach and Bude by car (5 mins) or walking (10 mins via Upton, 30 mins via canal). Good as a base for day trips, but also nice to just hang around the campsite; was a good home for a whole week of camping. Loved the eco approach to facilities- composting toilets work and regularly emptied (need to bring your own toilet paper is all); enough showers and hot water when wanted. Kids loved seeing the alpacas and cats around the secluded pond area. Not absolutely quiet - get some noise drifting up from Bude but not a problem for us - also got a great free view of fireworks one night. Worked for us with a campervan and large tent (other sites I'd looked at didn't allow both together), and provision of firebowls and firewood.
Likely to visit again next time we're in the area.
Peaceful
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Wow. Arrive and relax. Great location for doing busy life but amazing for chilling out. Very rustic, but showers always hot and the toilets were always clean. Candy was available for questions and always happy. Animals were so sweet. Veg from the veg plot were delicious. Cannot fault this site.
Lovely site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Lovely site, very peaceful with consideration to other campers being part of the ethos. We had lots of space for our extended family to camp.
The showers were hot. It is eco, composting toilets were frequently changed and generally clean, the washing area is basic and no hot water to the washing up sinks.
We had a lovey time and the fresh veg from the garden were delicious.
Chilled campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Basic but lovely. Really lovely chilled campsite outside of Bude. Owner very present (in a good way!) to help with any questions. Basic amenities, but enough for everyone.
Lovely canal walk into Bude centre.
Great eco-camping!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 If you want eco-camping this is the place to go! Hot showers. Good location. Children had a great time.
Very peaceful, lovely setting, a little tired
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 The idea behind the site is great: traditional style, eco friendly camping as a break away from everyday life. With solar heated water, compost toilets, rustic charm and alpacas! It's a lot of work for one person to keep up so I reckon host (Candy) needs a maintenance hand around the place.
As such the place would benefit from a bit of a reboot to get all the facilities back up and running. We had to wait an hour and a half to get checked in but used the time to orientate ourselves and meet the animals. The fact that check-in and checkout times are fully flexible is a great option and indicative of the relaxed atmosphere fostered by the host.
Great, relaxing campsite with a good vibe
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2022 This is a lovely picturesque site about a mile outside of Bude. We loved it as a relaxing base for a week of beach fun and surfing. Very kid (and dog) friendly, with lots of playmates for the 9yo in particular. Only niggle was the loos and shower...great eco credentials and lots of hot water (most of the time), but they could do with a daily clean... but don't let that put you off...
