  • Serene and green eco camping over seven acres, a mile from Bude
  • Within easy walking distance of beaches, shops and pubs
  • Animals, veg garden, wildlife pond and forest garden
There are many reasons to make your way to Cerenety Eco Campsite: the laidback, friendly atmosphere, variety of animals and plenty of space to unwind are just a few. You may like to meet Red, the site's ex racehorse, who now sees out his days in the pleasant pastures, or the sheep and Heather the alpaca. If you like tortoises, they always appreciated being fed with dandelion leaves and flowers… and let's not forget about sitting by the wildlife pond, listening to birdsong and watching for the moorhens or the visiting heron. A 10-minute walk from the site leads to the South West Coast Path, where there's a little-known beach called Upton beach (wild, clean and great for rockpooling). In the other direction, take a short walk downhill to the canal. You could stroll quickly inland for a cream tea or take a one-mile canal stroll to the town of Bude and its two surfing beaches A huge amount of other first-rate things are on offer at this off-grid, peaceful and back to nature site: you may, for example, care to amble around the driftwood archways, play chess on the giant tables, or spy species around the wildlife pond… Or you could potter around the forest garden – and try your hand at creating your own – or just find your own peaceful place for lazing among the grass. Guests can pick herbs, fruit and veg at the vegetable patch and forest garden. Solar-powered showers and compost toilets are also on site.

JANET P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked: The owner candy was extremely helpful during our stay . We stayed in 2 units , each with two well behaved dogs ( 3 shitzu types and one small black whippet like dog).
We were made to feel very welcome .
The composting toilets were kept spotlessly clean at any time of day as were the showers .
Lovely peaceful site with lovely views .
Only a very short walk down to the canal then along the canal into town, ideal.

Disliked: There was nothing to dislike

Unpowered grass tent site (two person, small)

Liked: Beautiful place to stay, very well kept and facilties were great and cleaned regularly. Host was very nice and helpful and the area had a nice little walk around with a pond and animals. Really cute friendly cat that joined us for dinner one night.

Disliked: A lot of the right side field was on a slope, so we had to camp on a slope which meant for a slightly uncomfortable nights sleep and things kept falling over, but it looked like there are areas on flat surface what were occupied that you can choose to pitch up.
