Editor's Note
Budemeadows Touring Park is no longer operating through this website. This page is maintained as a historical archive of the former campsite and for readers researching camping around Bude, Widemouth Bay, and North Cornwall.
If you are looking for a current campsite, do not use old Budemeadows phone numbers, prices, availability tools, or booking links from archived copies of the former site. Check current local accommodation listings instead.
What Was Budemeadows Touring Park?
Budemeadows Touring Park was a family-run camping and touring park near Bude in Cornwall, close to Widemouth Bay. Archived versions of the old website described it as a place for tents, caravans, motorhomes, and campervans, with a setting that connected visitors to the beaches, surf, and countryside of North Cornwall.
The 2018 archived homepage placed the campsite around Widemouth Bay, Bude, Cornwall, with the postcode EX23 0NA. It presented Budemeadows as a touring park for families and returning visitors, with access to Bude, Widemouth Bay, the Atlantic Highway, and nearby North Cornwall and North Devon destinations.

What Facilities Did the Old Campsite Advertise?
The archived homepage described a broad set of touring-park facilities. These details are historical and should not be treated as current.
Historically, Budemeadows advertised:

- electric hook-up availability on many pitches

The archived page also noted that some seasonal facilities, including the pool, bar, shop, and takeaway, had limited opening periods. Because the campsite is no longer operating through this website, those details are preserved only as a record of what the old touring park once promoted.
Why People Remember Budemeadows
The old Budemeadows site leaned heavily into family camping, repeat visitors, and the appeal of Widemouth Bay. It described a campsite set among trees and hedges, with pitches arranged in smaller groups rather than one open field.
That kind of layout mattered to campers. Shelter from coastal wind, a sense of space, and family-friendly facilities were part of the old Budemeadows identity.
The surrounding area was also central to the appeal. Bude has long drawn visitors for beaches, surfing, coast walks, and family holidays. Widemouth Bay in particular is one of the better-known beaches near Bude, with a wide sandy bay and surf culture.
Is Budemeadows Touring Park Still Open?
Budemeadows Touring Park is no longer operating through the current Bud Meadows website. This page is an archive, not a booking page.
Because old versions of the website remain visible through the Internet Archive, readers may still find outdated references to prices, booking forms, phone numbers, seasonal pitches, or facilities. Treat those old details as historical records only.
If you are planning a trip to Bude or Widemouth Bay, search for currently operating campsites, holiday parks, caravan parks, and official local tourism resources before making plans.
