 Excellent stay
New owners had just taken over days before we arrived but they made us very welcome, nothing too much trouble,
Facilities were excellent, showers & toilets clean, plenty of hot water
Pitches very spacious.

We spent the half term holiday with our daughter and family.
The facilities were clean and the water was hot.
The pitches are huge.
There are swings in the main field and another area with play equipment.
There is a pizza van that calls at weekends.
My only negative comment is that the sign asking caravans and trailers to stop and then walk to reception needs to be bigger.
I drove to reception then had to reverse the caravan back through a gate.
The campsite is on the A39 but we didn't notice much road noise.

Great site, well looked after and ideally placed to explore Bude and around North Cornwall.
Amenities block close to the camping field and well maintained, good size pitches as well.
Couple of good walks straight from the site. Owners are really helpful as well.
One I'll be visiting again!

Small and nice campsite. Very reasonable
6 miles from Bude.
Showers clean but need a bit of TLC.
No shops so need own provisions.
Friendly staff and was very quiet.

Just returned from a bank holiday trip at this lovely little campsite - we expected bank holiday madness, but although the campsite was fairly full, because of the way it is laid out, it felt almost empty.
We had a huge pitch - seriosuly, you could have parked a 747 on the pitch and still had space - in the first field. This is oppisite the busy A39, but the road noise really didn't bother us - the pitch was far enoough away for noise during the day not to be an issue, and it's quiet at night. Although it's a major A road, it's really not that busy.
The pitches are well laid out, and we noticed that trees at the back of the pitch were well tended, which meant we didn't get loads of birds poop on the tent. There's a small fence between the pitches on this field, so good seperation, but our neighbours were really friendly, so this wouldn't have been an issue anyway.
Ammenities were great- very clean toilets and showers (I did have to queue for the gents loos once) and, as previous reviewers have said, the showers are really spacious.
Nice little shop with everything you might need last minute.
The owners (Chris and Jen) are really friendly and helpful, and are obviosuly thinking hard about how to further imporve the site since taking it on last year (there's really not that much to improve).
The site is about 3 miles outside Bude - an ambitious but OK walk. There is a pub within walking distance over fields, and there is a plethora of takeaways in Bude and Kilkhampton if camp cooking isn't your thing.
We had a fab time, and are looking forward to visiting again.

Excellent campsite.
Large well laid out pitches, with lots of space on the site.
Fantastic shower and toilets blocks, always clean, never had to queue for a shower.
The shower cubicles are well laid out so that your clothes stay dry whilst showering.
The showers are large with two different height shower heads so that parents and children can shower together.
Great (well priced) little shop on site.
Very friendly caring owners on site.
Nice play area and field for children to play in.
Close to Bude.

We have just spent 2 nights at this lovely spot. It is only a 5 minute drive from Bude, and our favourite Northcott Mouth, with its fabulous long sandy beach, rockpools and surf.
We were warmly welcomed on arrival, and given a quick tour of the facilities, which besides the generously sized showers as previously mentioned, even include a designated sink for washing wetsuits. Everything else you could possibly need is provided.
The site itself makes a welcome change from some of the more characterless sites. It is leafy and green, with the sound of birdsong, and of particular interest is the wild area behind the site where little paths have been mowed, and picnic tables provided. It makes a lovely adventure area for children in particular, and dogs can run free here.
The pitches are very generous in size, and all are kept neatly mowed. There are many footpaths in the area for those who like walking.
I would totally recommend this site, both for families with children, and for older campers looking for somewhere green and pleasant and with a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Located on the A39 on the way to Bude. Mainly grass pitches, with some hardstanding gravel ones.
A stream runs through the property. Really nice couple own this park with a well stocked shop in reception. This is rarely open, so a bell to ring to get them to open it would be good. Separate toilets and showers, very clean. One family/disabled room and another mens toilets in the old house.
The chemical toilet is the worst one I have ever used; right down on the ground, and open, I had to rescue bugs and other things that had fallen in. Lovely sloping grass walk up the hill for dogs.
So many birds and frogs, we found some under our awning, thank goodness we did not stand on them. No privacy between pitches, they mix tents and caravans, which we don't like.
Did not notice the road noise at night, but the people who live behind have two dogs who bark when they see you, and that is the only thing that I didn't like about this place, and we love dogs!

Willow Valley 1 week Nr Bude on the A39
A family owned and run site. We spent a week at Whitsun here. We are a family with 3 young children.
The booking was seamless and they were so helpful on the phone and even answered my MANY questions. The site has a wooden cottage or two and NO mobile homes but takes tents, caravans and campervans. Some pitches have EHU and others are without (like ours). The pitches are massive.
We had our Montana 6P tent, extension porch, trailer, car, our table and chairs and one of their wooden picnic tables and there was still space. The wooden picnic tables, the ones with the benches attached each side, were free to borrow, just move them to your pitch and use them. There is a shop/office which is mostly open; if it is shut the owners are around and will open it for you.
They have ice-block hire which we did not use, but one day we had bought supermarket ice creams and they offered to keep it in their shop freezer for me until we got to dessert (about 2 hours). They are so kind and thoughtful. As it is in a valley there are no problems with strong winds which you have at coastal sites.
Playpark: There is a small patch of flat grass in the centre of the pitches, a sort of central area for small children. This is good for small children or parent and child ball games where the ball is controlled and other people will watch too.
The play park is at the entrance of the site and is on a huge hill. The site is at the bottom and at the top is the A39! I let my little one play if the big ones looked after him or we were there – our tent was very close and we could hear the children. Probably age 6 plus would be fine with other children there.
Washblock: The site has one main wash block and a separate mens old one (only saw it from a distance). The main wash block is spotless but only contains a couple of toilets and another entrance has showers 2 or 4 but they are huge family sized ones.
There is room for all the family in the shower and room for all the family to dry (that big). The other side of this block is the washing up sinks x 5. There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer which we used – it took money so no waiting to get tokens from the shop.
Food / Outings: Visited The Old Market Inn in Holsworthy for a Sunday carvery. Was very nice and the children enjoyed deserts too. Parking behind the pub. Used Morrisons on the way to Bude and Sainsburys near Bude beach.
Parking on residential streets before the main beach car park was free but is further to walk. Good crabbing on the beach. Cliff tops brilliant for kite flying – there is a campsite up there but it gets lots of the wind and we were so pleased we were not staying there.
