  • Camping pitches with Widemouth Bay views in Cornwall
  • A five-minute drive from Bude; half an hour from Tintagel
  • Pub, shop, restaurant and surf hire all a couple of minutes' walk away
Ever dreamed of waking up to a sea view? Or perhaps stoking the flames of a campfire as the sun sets over the waves? Sign up for a bit of both with a stay at Sandparks Campsite, a friendly, informal site with pitches overlooking Widemouth beach in north Cornwall. Those in the know will no doubt recognise this name as being one of Cornwall’s top surfing beaches – and as well as viewing it from your pitch you can also get down there to hit the waves whenever you fancy from here. And it’s not just the beach that’s handy: a pub (with top-notch Cornish ales), a restaurant (with fresh seafood) and a shop (with local meat and fish for your barbecue) are all a mere 50 metres away from the site. There’s also surfing kit hire available for those who don’t have their own board. If you fancy exploring a little further afield, it’s worth noting that this is a fine spot for getting out to walk on the South West Coast Path or to spend some time roaming around north Cornwall. Bude is about a 40-minute walk or five-minute drive away and you can get to the likes of Boscastle, Tintagel and Bodmin Moor within half an hour’s drive. Life on site is pretty simple, but guests have access to a waste disposal point, a washing-up area and a modern toilet and shower block. Barbecues and campfires are both permitted at this laidback spot, as are visiting dogs.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Great location and lots of walks direct from the site.
The site itself was well managed and nicely presented.
Plenty of water taps, facilities available but I only used the water and Elsan point.
I’d happily return.

Disliked: Nothing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Everything was perfect. Welcomed by the on site staff at the gate. Informative and polite/friendly. Laid back casual approach. Very very clean tidy site. Shower and wash up blocks impeccably looked after. Certainly money spent to get it looking so good.
Chilled out easy going feel and view so we to the ocean was perfect. Most certainly would return but I will say that it’s quite an expensive site really. Two nights are £76 with hookups.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Such a great site. From arrival such a lovely lady and ease of pitch choosing to its position right by the sea with amazing views
We had 4 pitches between us and made our own little square not allowed in many places but they were just so laid back
Great walking to Bude and dog walks galore where your dog can roam
Then there is a pub at the end of the park great place to go drink catch up
But I must mention too on opposite site of the road is a farm fish shop great too
But finish touch has to be the amazing Beach house restaurant next door
Food was delicious and really good lovrky staff. Not your normal beach cafe this one a massive step up and worth a visit or two
All in all great place been before will go again

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Everything about this site is brilliant. You are welcomed at reception and told what pitches you can choose. We were on EHU and didn't want to be too far from the shower and toilet block. Sometimes not having to use on board toilet etc is a blessing ,the toilet and shower block are the best I've ever seen and cleaned regularly throughout the day.
Loads of walks around the area which is very dog friendly
Great food and drink st the Bay View Inn

If you want a great run site Pitchup at this one

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Local attractions

Widemouth isn’t the only bit of coastal Cornwall that’s easy to visit from here. Sandparks is also in a handy spot for outings to Bude (five minutes’ drive), where another top surf beach beckons, along with surf lessons and a sea pool for more gentle swims. Elsewhere along the coast, you could stop by in Boscastle (20 minutes) for a stroll around a traditional fishing village, or explore Arthurian legends at Tintagel Castle (half an hour) – perhaps also stopping by at the mystical St Nectan’s Glen (25 minutes) to see if you can spot pixies as you walk to the waterfall. Turning inland for a while, there are some great walks to be done on Bodmin Moor (25 minutes), or you could delve into the area’s history at Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum (15 minutes). Other options for entertaining the kids might be the animals at New Mills Farm Park, the puzzle-themed attractions at Hidden Valley or the characterful residents of The Gnome Reserve and Wildflower Garden – all are about a half-hour drive away.
