  • Family-friendly site on spectacular Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast
  • Less than two miles from the beaches and surf spots of Bude
  • Seven acres of scenic countryside for walks and dog walking
Pack those hiking boots, make sure cameras are fully charged and snag yourself a stay at Willow Valley Camping Park, a family-friendly site in the Cornish village of Bush, five minutes’ drive from the coastal town of Bude – you’ll most definitely want to put those legs to good use. The site is on the stunning Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast, with sandy beaches to stroll along, cliff walks to follow and plenty of spectacular treats to stumble on during travels, like the clifftop village of Clovelly, where cars are banned and donkeys are the main mode of transport. The fab long-distance South West Coast Path passes through Bude too, so lengthier rambles are within easy reach. There’s a fair share of exploration to do on site too if a day at base appeals: seven acres of walks to wander (and dog walks as well, so bring pooch along), and a spacious adventure play park for the kids if they need a bit of distraction or grownups need a chance to unwind. A small on-site shop will keep moods up during high season, taking the stress out of packing by stocking the basic essentials and giving little sugar bursts as needed (check out the selection of treats to get that all-essential fix). For more substantial fare, Bude has plenty of options for local eats.

This well-rated campsite boasts friendly staff & super clean facilities, including showers. Pitches are spacious & level, with many enjoying the peaceful vibe. Conveniently near Bude & beaches. Some road noise on A39 pitches & a few dated facilities noted, but cleanliness is top-notch.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked We loved our stay here! We didn't want to leave and we wished we had booked a longer stay at this site. Coming from a campsite beforehand where everyone kept to themselves, it was refreshing to be in a cosy and friendly atmosphere. Our 7 year old made lots of friends and everyone we spoke to was lovely. Perfect for familys and good value for money. Nestled in the valley it was still and warm and we had a fairly flat pitch with no blustery winds. The staff were super friendly and helpful, you could see how hard they work to keep this amazing site running so well. Theres a small onsite shop in reception with gorgeous local honey available. The toilets and showers were modernised and clean. The washing up area and laundry, toilets ect all in one place and set out perfectly. We thought it was quite small when we arrived but after strolling around there was lots of accommodation tucked away in the lush green 💚 A path from the site takes you through to bude, handy as theres no driving through bude. Brilliant location for site seeing/beaches, giant water slides. Lots to be doing and the beautiful cornish views are just the best thing 👌 we will be back!

Disliked Theres nothing I can say that we disliked ☺️

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Everything but in particular the showers. Travelling with a 3 year old who only likes baths not showers is rather challenging but the family showers with a child size one next to the adult one was genius and my 3 year old finally enjoyed a shower. This site has everything you can think of and I made good use of the wetsuit wash area and laundry which were added bonus'

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that our family showers made life easier (and more fun!) for you and your little one — we know how important those small details can be when travelling with children. It’s great that you were also able to make the most of the wetsuit wash area and laundry facilities during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back for more happy adventures!

Great site in a fantastic location with friendly staff .

Liked -fantastic location

-lovely , well priced little shop
-modern , clean facilities
-friendly , efficient check in
-was made to feel welcome

Disliked -the pitch we were allocated was next to the stream and adjacent to the toilets meaning we had constant noise but most pitches wouldn’t have this issue

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind words about our location, facilities, and team – we’re delighted to hear you felt welcome and enjoyed your stay overall.

We’re sorry to hear that your allocated pitch was not as peaceful as you’d hoped due to its location near the stream and toilets. We do understand how important a restful stay is, and we’ll take this into account when allocating pitches in future.

If you visit us again, please let us know your preference and we’ll do our very best to find you a quieter spot. We’d love to welcome you back!

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Lovely small campsite with amazing owners. Becky & John were so friendly, helpful & accommodating.
Short walk to one pub (on a larger camp site) & slightly longer walk to a fabulous pub with amazing food.

Disliked Noisy campers but they were dealt with swiftly by the owners.

Bell tent

Liked Great site, with friendly owners. We stayed in one of the Bell tents. These are perfect if like us it was a stop off on a larger road trip. They come complete with comfortable beds, heater, kettle, and a hamper of cutlery. Welcome box of biscuits and drinks. Out side there is a cool station and a log burner great for sitting out late toasting marshmallows whilst watching the bats fly around. Site is great with clean and well maintained toilets, showers and wash stations. Also includes areas to bath a dog and wash down wet suits etc. located outside of Bude but close enough for all the shops and amenities. Great location for exploring the area. This was our second year on the site, the owners had recently taken over last year and the additions they’ve made are really nice. Highly recommend a stay and we will be back…..

Local attractions

Start any stay here with an immediate jaunt into Bude – there’ll be something here for everyone. There are splashing times to be had on the town’s Widemouth, Crooklets and Summerleaze surf beaches (all about 10 minutes’ drive from base) and with a few hours of coasteering, paddleboarding or swimming in the sheltered sea pool. Anyone who prefers to stay on dry land can visit the heritage centre in Bude Castle or pass by the town’s oldest house, Quay Cottage. Keep one foot in homes of the past by tripping around stately piles and seeing how the one percenters of yore lived hereabouts: within 45 minutes of base, wandering the halls and rooms of Hartland Abbey, Pencarrow House and the Lawrence House Museum comes highly recommended. The stunning cliffside ruins of Tintagel Castle (believed to be the place where legendary King Arthur was conceived) and the pretty RHS Garden Rosemoor are within 40 minutes for easy scenic strolls and explores. There’s plenty to keep kids entertained too: The Milky Way, The Big Sheep amusement park and trips on the Launceston Steam Railway are within half an hour. If longer car rides aren’t a problem, Crealy Adventure Park, Exmoor Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium and the fab Eden Project are a little over an hour away.
