Editor's Note
Budemeadows Touring Park is no longer operating through this website. This page is a historical archive of the facilities once promoted by the former campsite. It should not be used as a current facilities list or booking guide.
Why Facilities Mattered At Budemeadows
The old Budemeadows website presented the touring park as a family-friendly base near Bude and Widemouth Bay. The site was not described as just a field for tents. It promoted a fuller campsite experience, with pitch options, family facilities, food and drink, play areas, and services for touring visitors.
Those details are useful historically because they explain what Budemeadows was trying to be: a coastal Cornwall touring park for tents, caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and family holidays.
Historical Pitch Types
Archived pages described several styles of pitch. These included grass pitches, hardstanding areas, and upgraded pitch options.
Historically, the former campsite promoted:
- pitches for tents
- pitches for caravans
- space for motorhomes and campervans
- electric hook-up availability
- hardstanding pitches
- premier-style pitches with extra service connections
Do not treat any of those pitch details as current. They are included here to preserve the history of the old site.
Family And Leisure Facilities
The archived homepage and related pages described a range of family-friendly facilities.
Historically promoted features included:
- heated outdoor pool
- small splash pool
- playground
- outdoor games
- games room
- bar
- takeaway
- site shop
- toilet and washing facilities
- WiFi
The old site also made clear that some facilities were seasonal or had limited opening periods. That matters because old archived pages can otherwise make a campsite sound permanently available when it was not.
Facilities For Touring Visitors
For caravan, campervan, and motorhome visitors, the most important historical details were practical:
| Facility Type | Why It Mattered |
|---|---|
| Electric hook-up | Useful for longer stays and touring setups |
| Hardstanding | Better in wet weather |
| Water access | Important for serviced pitches |
| Grey-water drainage | Useful for some touring pitches |
| Toilets and washing | Core campsite infrastructure |
| Site shop | Helpful for basics without driving into town |
These are exactly the kinds of details modern travellers should still check when comparing current campsites around Bude.
What Modern Readers Should Know
If you found an old Budemeadows facilities page through the Internet Archive, use it as historical context only. The former touring park is not taking bookings through the current Bud Meadows website, and old facility lists should not be relied on for trip planning.
For current camping near Bude and Widemouth Bay, look for active campsite websites, recent reviews, current photos, and up-to-date seasonal opening dates.
