We are delighted to offer 50 family and child friendly campsites - specifically selected for us by the Camping and Caravanning Club. We don't have a personal review for Bude as we haven't visited yet, so if you require further information please visit the owner's website by clicking the top right button and please do bear with us until we visit all these sites.
The Camping and Caravanning Club recognises how important it is for campers especially with children to find clean amenity blocks with a high standard of fixtures and fittings. All sites highlighted have additional on-site laundry facilities, just in case your brood happen to have fun frolicking in the mud! Your pitch will be available after noon on your arrival day and you will need to vacate it before noon on your last days stay.
The children's outdoor playground should help keep little ones entertained whilst parents need a breather or while tea is being prepared. There is also a recreation room with which is a handy respite when the weather is wet and the TV allows you to catch up with the news should you so wish.
