Fantastic campsite. We spent 4 nights there and would have stayed longer if we didn't already have other plans. The pool was lovely and warm as was the welcome in grumpy petes bar. We will definitely be returning in the future.

This campsite is fantastic. We booked a pitch at the side of the park so we could watch the kids play. On arriving we were shown to the pitch and told where all the amenities were and the short cuts! All the staff at the park were wonderfully helpful and pleasant. They work so hard to keep the site as beautiful and clean as it is. The showers and toilets were spotless. The grass kept trimmed and the bin areas were smell free. We had the best holiday as a family we have ever had. I can not recommend this campsite highly enough, we will be returning. Any camp site we stay at now has a lot to live up too! Our kids loved the pool and the ability to play safely around the camp site. We as parents, had no worries at all about the safety of the children which made for a more relaxed Mum and Dad. The local beers in the pub are well worth a try we tried most of them and brought a couple home. The shop is reasonably priced and with a supermarket close by we didn't have to go far to get the things we needed. We toured a few local attractions and were amazed by the area. Its friendly welcome and white sand beaches. Widemouth bay is the closest beach and is more of a coarse sand but is fantastic for surfers and rock poolers. Padstow is just beautiful. It is Mediterranean in its beauty. I could go on and on. We are definitely returning to Cornwall next year, a little further south but we will be back to Budemeadws in the not too distant future. Thank you once again to all the staff at Budemeadows for your hard work to provide families with a fantastic camp site. |

Hello,
We've just arrived home and got unpacked after our first stay at Bude Meadows. We've had a wonderful time (shame about the weather though!) at the site. You all made us so welcome, it was like a home from home. Aidan loved the pool, I think he went in almost every day at least once and made lots of new friends while he was there.
Lovely site, great facilities.
See you again soon I hope, Innes, Sharon & Aidan

Stayed at Budemeadows for a week during August, first time at this site. Very friendly staff, walked us to our pitch. Very spacious pitches and a good sized site. During our stay we had a fair bit of rain but drained from our pitches without any issues. The toilet and shower blocks were very good, sometimes having to queue for a shower, but not for very long. Having two young children, they used the swimming pool, which was excellent, heated, and I mean heated! The children loved it. The bar was great, a good selection of local beers to choose from, and the takeaway food was also very good,, which we used on several occasions. Location wise, a short drive into Bude, and a few minutes drive to the nearest beach. We enjoyed our stay at the site, and when back in the area will be booking again

We have just returned from a touring holiday round Cornwall and Budemeadows was by far the best campsite. The owners were helpful and polite, and have lots of info on surrounding area.
The weather was mixed, but our hardstanding pitch with large grassed area was well situated. Others in the main tent area were not so fortunate as it was quite waterlogged in parts.
The pool was lovely and warm, there is also a well equipped outdoor and indoor games area. Excellent clean shower blocks.
Our 10 year old made lots of friends and it was very safe for them to run about all over the site. However, it was quiet at night.
An extremely well stocked shop, with a bar and a takeaway serving breakfast and evening meals was a big plus. A cold bottle of wine and a proper cup of coffee!
There are several supermarkets nearby and Bude itself was a nice town with a good beach.
We would definitely recommend this site and will return.

This was our third visit to Budemeadows and once again we had a great holiday. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the shop is well stocked including fresh rolls (for lunch) and airbed repair kits (for the hole in our airbed!). The showers/toilets and washing up facilities were always kept clean and our pitch was a good size.
Our children particularly liked the heated swimming pool and as we had good weather the week were there it was lovely sunning ourselves on the loungers by the pool and then swimming in the pleasantly warm water.
The games room was well used by our children and we all enjoyed our evenings in 'Grumpy Petes' bar. The hot food available was very tasty and reasonably priced.
We look forward to our next visit to Budemeadows.

This campsite was the first stop on a weeks adventure, walking the Coast Path. The directions sent with the booking confirmation were very accurate and helpful, the journey was not stressfull at all.
The site was kept spotlessly clean and staff were helpful.
The facillities were excellent , with everything you could need there. The takeaway was particularily good, with home cooked, well priced meals.
The setting was convienient next to the A39, and even though our pitch was next to the road, the road noise was not a problem. The location was a good walk from Widemouth Bay, but there is little there, so it was a good job the campsite had such good facilities. We found a good pub in Marhamchurch on the way back from Bude, which is worth visiting.
There was an excellent array of info and leaflets which were accessible 24hrs. Grumpy Petes bar served delicious cappucinnos and real Ale in bottles.
Overall, would reccommend this site to anybody.

Yes we do like the back to basics style! Also, no it doesn't make you sound like a snob! Live and let live, we all like different things!
Although I have stayed on plenty of normal sites. Simply the best one I can recommend is Bude Meadows (www.budemeadows.com), although not sure if Bude (Nr. Newquay, SW England) is any good for you?
It's a lovely site with a pool and very very good showers (and a bath!) and wash up area. It is also very reasonably priced at £4.60 - low, £8.00 - mid, £10.50 - high (seasons) for one night. 7 nights and the price goes down. Have a look at http:/
We met some fantastic people there and formed good friendships. The site is very kid friendly, and although you are kid free, when we were there it was no problem at all as the kinda people it attracts ensure that it's a quiet site.
Lots of nice stuff quite close as well - bring on the cream teas!
Sorry for waxing lyrical about this site, but it is the best I have found to date that would suit your needs.
Check out the ukcampsite link I gave above, as its a great site that has reviews from real people that have actually stayed on the site. There is also a link to sites that allow open fires if you are interested. If you can't find it, ping me on here and I will post a link.
Will try and dig out some pics for you. Please don't post a personal email address here, I will chuck them up on my flickr account if I can find them.

Living in the Westcountry it can be easy to become blase about the beautiful scenery that we might regularly pass.But it was impossible not to be blown away by the awesome sight from on high over the beginning of the Camel estuary between Rock and Polzeath.
I set up stall for the night at Budemeadows camping park just off the Atlantic Highway near Bude. Facilities have changed a lot since my last experience of campsites about 20 years ago and campers here can enjoy hot showers, spotless toilets, a heated swimming pool and electricity to fire my much-needed two-bar heater.
I carried on up the A39, dropping off on to country lanes to climb up to the magnificent Hartland Point and then on to Bideford and the top surf spots of North Devon around Croyde.

Recently returned from a superb 2 weeks at Bude Meadows and would highly recommend this site to any touring/camping visitors to North Cornwall.We all liked it so much we booked again for another 2 weeks next year. (Even our 12 year old daughter was happy - helped along by the heated outdoor pool, pool/games room and “Grumpy Pete’s” bar/board games/Internet room).
The pitch sizes were good and the electric hook up superb (16amp all round). The toilet blocks and washing up facilities were always clean and have plenty of character (they’re not just prefab buildings in the middle of the site). There are plenty of water/grey waste points around the site but you’re best off using chemical toilet disposal point for your grey waste for ease of use.
The local beach is fantastic and only a mile away (Widemouth Bay). Dogs are allowed on the South beach (which was the quieter beach). Whether on the North or South, the beaches were superb with plenty to do. Great sand, rock pools, shallow pools and superb waves for boarding.
The staff were always helpful and managed to act ‘over and above the call of duty’ on more than one occasion. They made us feel as if we’d known them for years and were part of their extended family. Simply brilliant!

18 CAMP SITE Budemeadows Holiday Park, Cornwall If your holiday accommodation comes in a bag with a rubber mallet, this place is bang on. A mile from the surf-strafed strand at Widemouth Bay, and a Camel Trail bike ride from Padstow, Budemeadows combines immaculate facilities, heated outdoor pool, playground, bar, with a proper bucolic sense of getting away from it all. Not big, not crowded, even in high season - but book fast if you want to pitch up here in August.View the full article at
