Bude - "Carry on" Camping at Efford Down Farm

Discussion in 'Cornwall' started by davecymru, Aug 2, 2016.

  1. Before you go any further, please understand that we tend to go for old-skool campsites. i.e. basic facilities (no clubhouses!) but good locations and this site is one of those.

    I thought I'd share this hidden gem of a site with you lot as we've taken a bit of a shine to it and i find it a shame that he's never just a tad busier.

    We stumbled across this site last year and have just been again last week.
    The site is on a slope but facing away from sea so you don't get battered by the summer rain! The camping is all around the edge of the field and a number of T5's came and went in the time we were there as well as there being just under a dozen tents.

    It's only open for 28 days a year (with a break in the middle this year for a scout jamboree!) , it's never too busy, it's cheap and from what we can see it's the closest site to Bude main beach.

    The facilities are basic, but all there. i.e. a portable toilet block, a portable shower block, some outside sinks for washing up, an additional standpipe at the top of the field, an outside wetsuit shower and 2 loos in sheds (best seen in person)

    In the 5 nights we were there it was mainly families, but with a sprinkling of surfers, couples and the occasional walker doing the coat path. All were well behaved and if you like a chilled basic site then this is certainly worth a try :)

  2. We enjoyed how close to the centre of town this is
