What customers say
This small, well-maintained site offers exceptional, far-reaching views over Bude and the coastline, with pitches described as large, flat, and clearly marked. Visitors consistently praise the cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the toilets and showers, and highlight the attentiveness and friendliness of the host. Easy access to walking routes, including a pleasant walk into Bude and to local pubs, is a significant draw. While the site is generally well-received and considered good value, some guests noted that the limited number of toilet and shower facilities might be an issue for longer stays.

Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Fantastic views. Warm welcome from owner on arrival. Well kept site. Footpaths straight from site.
Walk to pub in 20 mins and into Bude in approx an hour. In Bude is a large Sainsbury which I wasn't expecting.
For best views go for non electric.
All round good value for money.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked That it was a small site, and that the owner was really attentive and cared about the site, and his guests. The view was amazing, and it was actually in a good location. Out of the busy town, but close enough to get some shopping done.
Disliked It only had one shower, and two toilets. Just not practical, although clean and maintained well. People were driving on and off the site late. Because of the size it can all be heard.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re glad you liked our campsite and location, and thankyou for choosing to stay with us at Mount Pleasant Camping :)
Sorry to hear that you had disturbance, our campsite rules are quiet after 10pm and we try our very best to ensure this is adhered to.
We are a very small pop up site with only 10 pitches and only have room for the facilities we have.
We do hope that our profile advert shows this clearly for everyone to see before booking, but we appreciate your comments and hope this helps future guests when deciding their choice of campsite :)
We are small and minimal but with lovely views and a relaxed setting.
Information and photos of the site can be found on Pitchup and on our own website.
Definitely will recommend it!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Spectacular views, lovely pitch, plently of space, clearly divided, very clean shower and toilets, easy to find and alovely host whp greeted us on arrival. Highly recommend walking down to bude, it was the highlight of our stay! Definitely will come back.
Disliked Not disliked however if we were to stay longer then I’d say the shower would be an issue, water runs for approximately 15 seconds, 5seconds cold, 5 warm and 5 hot… it’s tricky but doable.
