Widemouth Fields - Bude

Thomas C.

Liked: We camped for a week and it was great. Received gate code on the morning of our arrival day. Extremely quiet site as it was only us and one other. Great shower facilities, with a dish washing room and laundry room. We were able to freeze ice packs in the site office. Very well situated for easy access to either Widemouth Bay or Bude both 5 mins drive.

Liked: It was very quiet ! The toilets were clean .

Disliked: No one to let us in so we didn't know the code ( luckily a new employee who hadn't started work there helped us ). It wasn't the site that I had seen online ...no bar , restaurant , shop or even owners ! Nothing for children to do , not even allowed ball games or to cycle . The hairdryer doesn't work .
The most expensive site I have ever stayed on in Cornwall ( as locals we camp alot around the county ) with no amenities .I will go back to the £7 a night site that has exactly the same amenities but has a bar ! Money needs to be spent and a bit of care and attention .At the moment it feels like an army camp with no soul .At £32 for one nights camping ....nope .

Liked: Lovely site. Immaculate. Great toilet/shower block. Indoor washing up area. Laundrette ( didn't use).

Disliked: Push button showers, really annoying having to push it every 10 secs, having said that though they were lovely and hot with good water pressure.

I’m always honest when it comes to reviews and this was a Very very quiet site for camping in respect to others being on the site. the grass wasn’t the best when we arrived was quite over grown could be a bit shorter but was ok we noticed the man cut the grass I only on the Friday but only done the middle section and left all the outside very over grown. The toilets was clean when we arrived on the Monday but noticed they wasn’t cleaned again till the Friday could do with squidgy sticks in the showers and toilet roll topped up regularly hair dryer doesn’t work in toilets and men’s had thick cobwebs other than this the site is lovely but not manned no play park on site for kids as advertised on pitch up it’s very basic but close to Bude and Widemouth it’s right by a very noisy busy road too and the exit security barrier was constantly up leaving us feeling a little bit not secure other than this we had a lovely stay thank you

Disliked: No one on site to meet us and offices and entertainment building locked up and looked like a building site . After 30 minutes of waiting and trying all the numbers we phoned the emergency number where we were given the code to get through the gates . The hardstanding pitch we booked looked nothing like the photos . We were in an overgrown field on our own . We decided to leave as we were very disappointed with the site after a long drive to get there.

Liked: Nice views from the pitch and walking around a quiet site. Plenty of hot water in the shower block. A great site to visit Bude.

Disliked: Really enjoyed our stay but the hard standing could be improved slightly to avoid walking mud into the motorhome; that said we experienced exceptionally high rainfall and would definitely go to Widemouth Fields again.

Liked: Having almost an entire campsite to ourselves.

Disliked: On arrival at 3pm we could not get pass the entrance barrier with no answer on the intercom. The site reception was closed and no staff could be found on site, made multiple phone calls to the 2 numbers provided, mobile number went straight to voicemail each time
2nd number was a call centre where I got through to a person who said they’d put me through to the site and cut me off, a couple more attempts and I got back through to them where they told me they would look into it and phone me back… they never did. During this time another couple who had also booked via pitch up arrived, they had also began trying to get in contact with the site owners. After about 40 minutes the other couple were able to obtain the access code for the barrier. With nobody around to tell us where we should go we chose our own pitch and set up camp. As it was only us and the other couple we had plenty to choose from.
Luckily the power was on and the wash room and toilet facilities were unlocked, these facilities could do with a bit of TLC and a deep clean but were usable.
No shop on site as advertised.
The following morning we were approached by a couple of maintenance staff who were surprised to see us there as they had been told by their management the site was closed for camping this year!!!
