Small, family-friendly campsite on the Devon/Cornwall border
A 30-minute drive to The Big Sheep, and 40 to Dartmoor National Park
Farm shop with a food service; beaches, fishing and kids’ parks nearby

A small, family-run campsite in a quiet rural location, Tree Tops is surrounded by gorgeous countryside and has far-reaching views to Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor. Situated on the border of Devon and Cornwall, this is a smashing base for anyone wishing to explore the West Country thoroughly. Pitches are fully serviced and provide a 16-amp electric hook up, fresh drinking water, a grey-water point for piped waste, and a water tap. Each pitch is at least eight metres in width and there’s hedging between each one so your stay here will be totally private. The local town of Bude (20 minutes’ drive) has lots of indie shops and surf rentals. Here you can treat the family to fish and chips or a traditional Cornish pasty on the beach, or eat in one of the many cafés, pubs and restaurants. Closer to home, Upper Tamar Lake (30 minutes’ walk) is well stocked with carp and bream for anglers, and there’s a watersports centre as well as a scenic walk around the reservoir. Lower Tamar Lake is a nature reserve that's home to lots of wildfowl, with several peaceful paths around its shore line. Back at base, there’s a shop for essentials and picnic sandwiches ingredients. You can also order continental breakfasts (handy for your day of departure) and cream tea treats for an extra charge – just remember that, as this is Devon, you’ll need to put the cream on your scone ahead of the jam.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and it's so lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay. It is great for bird spotting at any time of year - we saw a peregrine falcon recently and the migrating geese are currently becoming active, it's lovely to see their formations as they head to the lakes.....
Hope to see you again soon.

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch (no awning, small)

Liked: Quiet, peaceful site with good sized pitches. A lot of seasonal caravans occupying a lot of the touring pitches though. Jo and Craig are super helpful. It had rained relentlessly for weeks so the place and surrounding area were waterlogged.

Local attractions

Jump to it, surfing bods – there are numerous surfing and bodyboarding beaches including Sandymouth Bay (15 minutes' driv) and Widemouth Bay (20 minutes). If surfing ain’t for you, try kayaking or rent a pedalo at Bude beach (20 minutes), have a go on a Segway (15 minutes) or book a pony trek through forest at the local riding centre (20 minutes). There are some seriously cutesy coastal towns and villages on Devon's north coast. For indie shops and steep cobbled streets, head for Clovelly (25 minutes), or try Boscastle (35 minutes) for pretty harbour views. At Tintagel (45 minutes) there are fab sea views from its mysterious castle – and you’ll find plenty of foodie options in all these places too. As a treat for well-behaved kids, there are family rollercoasters at The Milky Way Adventure Park (25 minutes), sheep racing (yes, that’s right) at The Big Sheep (30 minutes), and a day’s worth of waterslides and inflatable courses at North Devon Wake Park (also 25 minutes).
