Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping

127 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents20 acres · Cornwall, South West England

Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go swimming before breakfast in the clear water of a secluded lake. Cook your bacon and eggs over an open fire while you plan your day, or just laze it away in the peace and quiet of your own personal tipi. You can always go fishing tomorrow, and walk along the cliffs the day after that… The site is a unique woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis and tent pitches are dotted about this secret 20 acres full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Left in peace for many years there's been no modern chemicals or poisons on the land, meaning we've got bluebells, dormice, Red Admirals and shy woodland Jays for you to spot. It’s a place set apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us. We established CTH in 1996. This was the first and we believe still is the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with local knowledge or contacts if you need them. We want to offer our guests a sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment - our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth. Your footprint while here could only be bettered by a survival expert. You don't have to fly! a major bonus, and we source all our wood, fish and canvas locally and work with local people wherever possible.

Glamping near Bude with campfires guide

Overview

Popular for its romantic views and sunny climate, the seaside town of Bude beckons campers to surf, swim, sail, and beachcomb along the north Cornwall coast. Beachgoers love the sandy landscapes of Summerleaze and Crooklets Beaches for their proximity to the centre of town, while surfers flock to popular Widemouth Bay. Stay in beachside cottages or glamping pods for a luxurious camping trip to remember. Other Bude attractions, such as Bude Canal and Tamar Lakes Country Park offer opportunities for hiking, bird watching, bicycling, and camping. Helpful amenities in local campsites include full bathrooms with showers, dog parks, and on-site shops before a day spent at the beach in Crackington Haven or along the South West Coast Path.

Where to go

Crackington Haven

Crackington Haven is the scenic culminating point of the South West Coast Path, a popular hike that offers glimpses of sea views from its grassy cliffs. Crackington Haven is also part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) that’s revered for its nature-inspired beauty. Visit medieval castles, surfing beaches, and the Crackington Formation. Then spend the night near the path at nearby private campsites and camping parks that offer bathroom access and water hookups for motorhomes.

Bude Canal

Canoe or kayak Bude Canal to enjoy views of pastoral Cornwall. Built in 1823, the canal begins at the sea and stretches for roughly 35 miles between its two locks. Innovative incline planes like Hobbacott Down, the highest incline plane in England, makes Bude Canal a Great Britain novelty. Campsites, holiday parks, and fishing spots are available near the canal as it passes rural sections of the landscape on its way to town.

Tamar Lakes Country Park

A short 20-minute drive from Bude brings visitors to family-friendly Tamar Lakes Country Park. Upper Tamar and Lower Tamar lakes offer an attractive setting for picnics, boating excursions, fishing, and strolling the grounds. Dog-friendly cafes have light lunches and drinks, and a local ice cream shop provides cool treats on warmer days. Campsites and camping pods located nearby feature convenient amenities like water and electric hookups.

When to go

With its mild maritime climate, Bude attracts campers during all seasons. Daily summer temperatures hover around 16°C. Expect winter temperatures to remain around 6°C. Some campers prefer to visit between June and September when conditions are driest. This is also when the ocean water at the beaches is warmest.
