Cornish Coasts is one of the oldest established parks in the area. It is within a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, with glorious rural views to the coastline, with Lundy Island in the distance.

This quiet and friendly park is in an easily accessible rural position, with easy access from lay-by.

Widemouth Bay is only 2 miles away, with its sandy and surfing award winning beaches, also with many rock pools to explore at low tide.

It is an ideal touring location, for both North Devon and Cornwall. Within an hour's drive are Clovelly and Westward Ho to the north; Padstow, Newquay and Truro to the South and even to the south coast of Looe, Fowey, Plymouth for the National Marine Aquarium, and, of course, St.Austell for the Eden Project.

The park has easy access from a lay-by off the A39.

Pitches

The pitches are level and terraced for touring caravans and trailer tents, all with electric hook-up, with more space for tents on slightly sloping pitches.

There is also a more secluded lower meadow for tents and caravans not requiring electric hook up. The children's log land play area is close to the terraced area so children can easily be kept in sight.

There is a ready built barbeque for you to use, with picnic tables.

Amenities

The amenity block includes showers, toilet, wash basins: laundry; dishwashing area and chemical disposal point.

  

There is a site shop and we stock Calor Gas and Camping Gaz.

Dogs are welcome on the park, but they must be kept on a lead at all times and not left unattended at any time.

We do not have a dog walking area within the park; dogs must be walked/exercised outside the park.

The 4 berth caravan has one double bedroom, the lounge /dining area converts to a double bed.

Widemouth Bay

The rugged North Cornwall coast faces the Atlantic where there are many beaches and coves to explore, and the town of Bude, "the loveliest peace of Cornwall" only 5 miles north of the park which has two large sandy beaches that are popular with both families and surfers.

Other facilities include a leisure centre, indoor pool with waves, golf putting green, bowls, tennis, squash, fishing, and horse riding. Visit the Bude and Stratton Museum which tells the history of Bude canal and the shipwrecks of the area. 

Bude's sea pool

The Coastal Path, with its spectacular scenery, is ideal for just a short walk or for the really serious walkers.

There are now many cycle routes to follow or why not try the Camel trail which goes from Bodmin to Padstow. Cycle hire is available from Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow.

Heading south from Bude is Widemouth Bay( only 2 miles from the park) which is a sandy and rocky beach enjoyed by families and surfers, with many rock pools to explore when the tide is out. Take the coastal road from Widemouth Bay through Millook and on to Crackington Haven both of which have incredible rock formations and well worth a look. Just a little further south is the pretty harbour village of Boscastle and then on to the magical King Arthur's Castle at Tintagel.

Inland is Launceston, the ancient capital of Cornwall, Tamar Lakes, for fishing and water sports and much more. Bodmin Moor for the highest point in Cornwall, Brown Willy and also for Daphne du Maurier's famous Jamaica Inn.

There are many reasons to come to North Cornwall as there are many local events during the year, starting with the Battle of Stamford in mid May. The Royal Cornwall Show in early June and in mid August the Bude Carnival and the Bude Jazz Festival and Lifeboat week starting August Bank holiday.
