Sandparks Campsite

Liked Relaxed, very clean toilets and showers.
Use of freezers, spacious flat pitches.
Great sea views, quick & easy access to to beach, shop & pub.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Liked So close to the beach!..perfectly placed for exploring the north Cornwall coast and nearby towns.

Liked Location so near lovely beach.
Rules quiet time after 10pm which was followed.
Decent shower and toilet facilities and access to fridge

Disliked Not allocated pitches, so could pitch anywhere, oftern come back in the day and found somebody else pitched up literally touching distance from your tent so no privacy and can hear everything.

Liked Great location, clean toilets, showers and washing up facilities, WiFi and reasonable prices, easy access to beach

Disliked Lack of marked pitches meant people could set up very close to you, or park how they wanted taking up more space than necessary. Much of the field is sloping. It felt overcrowded with 150 + vehicles on the weekend we visited in early July

Liked The location

Disliked Ah, where do I begin? This campsite could be a gem — stunning location, just a 10-minute stroll to the sea (which kindly roars you to sleep... and occasionally back awake). Bude is beautiful, the beaches nearby are dreamy. Sadly, that's where the dream ends.

Enter: The Manager — part campsite owner, part tent dimension denialist, full-time patrol officer. I’m convinced he runs the place like he’s prepping for a camping edition of Squid Game. He eyeballs your setup like you’re parking a Boeing 747. Didn’t bother to read the tent dimensions we sent, and then had the cheek to complain that our (perfectly normal) T5 van and modest awning were apparently a crime against camping humanity.

The pitch? More like a game of Tetris on expert mode. Tent barely fit. Car? Good luck. Could’ve put us on the bigger pitch next door — but nah, that would’ve made sense. Once the field filled up, it turned into a festival of elbows and torchlights — people stumbling past our tent all night like they were on a midnight pilgrimage to the loos.

Also — forget maps or useful info. Just vibes (and surveillance). And the ground? Rocky near the road, like someone paved it with regrets and rubble. We basically slept on a bag of gravel.

To be fair: the toilets and showers were okay... when it wasn’t packed. But as soon as more tents arrived? Chaos. Think Glastonbury on a bad day, but with less music and more soap rationing.

Bottom line: If you enjoy being watched like a hawk, having your tent squished into a space smaller than your last parking ticket, and paying premium rates for chaos... you’ll love it here! If not, maybe try literally anywhere else.

Would not stay again unless the management is replaced with someone who reads pitch sizes and doesn’t act like a campsite prison warden.

Foul mouthed groups of young lads being unruly but that's okay??#
Packed up early and went home.

From the manager: Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your comments and feedback. Packed in like sardines is definitely an exaggeration but do not deny it will always be busy on a weekend in 30 degree heat by the sea . Fair enough it is not your type of campsite but plenty of others love it as it is and as you say its in a great position. I will pass your comments on to Gary who runs a very tight ship and gets loads of praise for the job he does.
Happy Camping !!

Disliked We were there wed-sun. Got very busy from Fri tho
