Editor's Note

Budemeadows Touring Park is no longer operating through this website. This page is a historical archive of the old site-plan and pitch-type topic. It is not a current campsite map or booking guide.

Why Site Layout Mattered

For campers, the layout of a touring park matters almost as much as the location. The old Budemeadows site described a setting with pitches arranged across the campsite rather than presenting the park as one anonymous open field.

That historical detail helps explain the former site's appeal. Visitors wanted a balance of coastal access, family facilities, and a pitch that felt suitable for their setup.

Historical Pitch Types

The former Budemeadows website referred to several pitch styles, including grass pitches, hardstanding pitches, and more serviced pitch options.

Historically, this mattered for:

• tents
• touring caravans
• campervans
• motorhomes
• families staying longer than one night
• visitors wanting electric hook-up
• travellers who preferred hardstanding in wet weather

These details are preserved as archive information only.

Grass Pitches

Grass pitches were part of the traditional camping experience. They were relevant for tents and some touring setups, depending on weather, ground conditions, and pitch rules.

Anyone planning current camping near Bude should check modern campsite pitch rules directly before travelling.

Hardstanding And Serviced Pitches

Hardstanding and more serviced pitch options were important for caravan, campervan, and motorhome visitors. They could make stays easier in wet weather and for travellers who needed power, water access, or waste handling.

The old Budemeadows material should not be used as a current list of services, but it does show what the former touring park once emphasized.
