 Site a fair way out of Bude but has direct access to the South West Coastal Path.
Very nice site but very expensive for what there is.
Small shop, good showers and toilets but, for some reason the toilets are some way away from the showers.

Really pleasant looking site. We came with my parents who had never holidayed like this before and they were pleasantly surprised and settled in to the van quite quickly. It is very well kept and maintained and the owners are very friendly.
The site was very quite and easy going. The coastal walk scenery was absolutely stunning and its worth going even if like me you don't go very far. 5 mins downhill to great pubs and restaurants and 2mins over a bridge and you are in bude.
Surrounded by great places to visit, tintagel, boscastle and bodmin for example.Would consider going again.There is a small shop that is good for basics but there is a couple of super markets in bude. Didn't need the showers etc but they looked clean and adequate.
There was washing drying and ironing facilities which I did use.It did rain heavy at night a couple of times but ground was well drained as next day it wasn't boggy at all.

Lovely quiet and well maintained site. Despite quite a lot of rain, site was well drained and not at all muddy. Great size EHU pitch for out tent, had loads of space and reasonably flat.
Facilities were always clean and lots of hot water. Didn't find the separate toilet / showers and issue. Great location for walking the coast path and short walk into Bude either on coast path, road or by the canal.
Would definitely recommend for a quiet holiday but within easy reach of amenities.

One of the best run sites ever visited.
Lovely, friendly welcome. No booking for non EHU pitches so relieved to find plenty of space even on Whitsun bank holiday. Advised to pick any vacant pitch and where to find things.
Nice to see lack of signage with Do's and Dont's everywhere which can plague other sites. Everyone was very considerate and relaxed. Children's area positioned away from campers area and seemed very popular.
There were two tent pitching fields, we chose the one beyond the statics in a sort of cul de sac and found it very quiet, well mown and almost child free (perhaps a tip to make it an adult only end?)
Hi hedges for shelter but also great views all around site and only a 10 min walk to edge of Bude town even less to the coast path.
The laundry and amenity blocks were well thought out, perfectly clean and very adequate. The showers and washing up sinks always had free piping hot water and seldom had queues.
The shop at reception was very handy and unusually reasonable. The pitch prices were slightly dearer than most but good value when considering the high standards and free hot water. Recycling was not evident but was available if bagged separately and left by the general bins (emptied every morning)
NB-Hill top site so peg down securely against the wind! Would definitely recommend.

We arrived later than expected at just before 7pm as the van had a breakdown enroute.
The owner was helpful and efficient and book in was speedy.
We were able to choose a pitch as was quiet so getting a flat one was no problem. The site had a mix of people who were friendly.
The facilities were acceptable. The separate toilet/shower block was of no problem to us. The facilities were a bit dated. The laundry and dish washing area was good though and I liked the small touch of having a proper draining rack on which to place the dishes!
The camp site was within easy reach of town and we had a drink at the Brandon Arms I think it is at the bottom of the hill. We then had an Indian meal at a restaurant up by the Co-op. The name escapes me at present but was a recommendation from the chap in the pub and it was a good meal.
The site had excellent views over the countryside and its high position meant that on clear nights like the one we had the view of the stars was amazing with minimal light pollution.
The site met our needs but at £13.50 we felt it was a little pricey given that the facilities could do with a modernisation.

Being only 30 miles from this site it made a short break & a practice run as we have just invested in a new tent after many years of not camping, had a great break, excellent facilities, toilets & showers, tidy children's play area, grounds well managed & well lit, no security problems, overall a great location for a short break or a longer stay with good walks to & from the site.
A clean & well managed site, would give this site a well earned bit of praise. Close enough to Bude where a variety of shops & eateries can be found, lovely walks along the Bude canal, great strolls over the cliffs to Widemouth Bay & beyond, unspoilt costal walks, within car distance worthwhile visits to north Cornwall or north Devon.

This is an undulating site. There are flat pitches but there are also some very sloping ones. Fortunately it was not full when we arrived and we were able to choose somewhere flat! It is also true that there is a unusual arrangement where the toilet block is a short distance from the shower block (free hot water and showers) but we did not find this to be a problem in the slightest.
The site owners are an extended family living in the beautiful Devon Cob farmhouse which has been theirs for generations. We found them incredibly helpful and friendly - they offered to charge my camera batteries, and even chased after us when we left because I'd forgotten my cycling glasses.
The whole site showed evidence of a great deal of care and hard work with grass that would have graced a golf course, and an exciting-looking play area that included a wooden castle. There is access to the coast path from the top of the site and the walk into Bude along the cliffs is magnificent - do try it.
Bude has quite an old-fashioned feel without the tackiness of some of the larger resorts. There is plenty to do and see for everyone, from surfers to sitters-on-benchers. Plenty of history too, with a castle, historic canal, and other quirkily-attractive features. It has a mid-sized supermarket (Somerfield, I think) and lots of specialist shops - we loved Bude, and appreciated being able to stay so close to it.

Despite weather - rain on Friday, fine on Sat & windy on Sunday, I was glad to stay at this site because it's so close to beautiful coast and town of Bude!
With me being profoundly deaf, camp staff were very friendly and helpful - made me feel at ease. I know the pitch a bit of problem (woken up with my face at the entrance of my tent after 1st night!)
Shower and toilet are not that far apart to be honest but still strange!
Will look forward coming back there again in near future!

This is a beautiful part of Cornwall, we cycled from the site along the coastal road to Boscastle stopping on the way at all the little villages and beaches. It was a hard cycle but worth it.
Now the site, very few of the pitches are level, so motorhomes need plastic levellers but the campers in tents must roll down hill when they go to bed! As previous reviewers have said it is a strange setup with the showers and toilets being so far away from each other, although they were very clean and there was plenty of hot water.
The site is on a hill and can be windy so take a wind break if you have one. The electric hookup pitches are of a reasonable size.The lady on reception was helpful if you asked the right questions! As said by others Bude is a ten minute walk down the hill, but a twenty minute walk back. The town is quite small and attractive without the usual tacky shops you usually find in some seaside resorts.
I've seen this part of Cornwall now and I don't think that I will go back, but for others this is a family friendly campsite with playground and with plenty of nearby sand and pebble beaches for kiddies so I can see why families would make return visits.

Our visit to Upper Lynstone was during a wet bank holiday.
We arrived to be greeted by unpleasant staff.
The field we were put in was very sloped - down and to the side, which was very impractical for tents.
The toilet and shower blocks were separate - which is impractical for cold, wet mornings.
The showers were dirty, tepid and low pressured.
The toilets were OK - relatively clean and modern.
There is a shop on site which was well stocked but only open for a few hours each day, other than that there is a Somerfield in the town about 15 minutes walk down the road.
The site is ideally located for the coastal path, only about 2 minutes from the site.
We wouldn't go back to Upper Lynstone, we felt it was over priced and disappointing. It lacked the fundamental necessity of camping; a hot shower.
