Bakesdown Farm Camping Reviews 

A delightful pitch, plenty of space for our three tents, a very useful covered kitchen area and also very private. We all loved being there and just observing the peace and quiet of the farm and woods.

An amazing place to stay. A little piece of heaven and peace with very welcoming host.

This is my favourite campsite I’ve been to. Surrounded by beautiful nature while having privacy. Had everything we needed to have a great weekend with friends including a fire pit and BBQ. Can’t wait to come back again!

Amazing gem of a place in Cornwall. We loved our short stay here. The owners were lovely, very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable of the local area. The location is great, the campsite is magic and the cabin was a luxury! Nothing bad to say. We will definitely come again!!! Thanks!!!!

I have stayed here for three years running and have never grown tired of the peace and quiet this site provides.

The Cabin is described as a no-frills back-to-nature experience and this it provides. Complete seclusion, no wifi or electricity, yet enough convenience in the private kitchen and shower/toilet to keep things comfortable even if the weather doesn't play as you would like (2024 summer has been on the whole rubbish!). It provided the perfect opportunity to reconnect with the family, enjoy some wholesome conversation around the kitchen table with no phones getting in the way. In many ways, perfect. Thank you Bakesdown!

This is an absolutely perfect site with friendly hosts. We stayed at Brimstone, which is a large, secluded pitch in its own field. The loo, shower and kitchenette area are tidy and clean, and the communal fridge freezer is a short walk down the quiet lane - the allocated charging lockers are a brilliant touch.
We had a blissful time relaxing around the fire pit in the evenings, watching bats, owls and the wonderful night sky. If you enjoy peaceful semi-wild camping away from the crowds, this is the place for you!
The site is very conveniently located only a short drive away from Bude, whilst feeling secluded and peaceful. This was our 3rd visit and I'm sure we'll be back again!

We have just returned from our third stay at Bakesdown farm and we absolutely love it there. Everything is very back to basics, but at the same time the cabins are equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Cosy cabin for sleeping and relaxing ( it comfortably accommodates two adults and two small children), a hot shower, clean compost loo and a kitchenette with all the cutlery, crockery and pans etc you would need. There is ample of space for the children to play outside and it is an extremely quiet site. We will definitely be visiting again and again!

Always a lovely peaceful stay here away from wifi and TV’s. Superb for enjoying the birds, butterfly's and bee’s. Nice and close to widemouth for lots of surf and rock pooling. Love it every year.

We love this place and have visited several times over the past years. Its quite, secluded and peaceful, wild camping with luxurious!
The Speckled Wood pitch is our preferred option, a large field, surrounded by woods and deep hedgerows. Surrounded by wild flowers, graases, wildlife and with no light pollution, amazing views of the stars at night. The kitchen hut provides shelter from the worst of the cornish weather and really does have everything you need for your trip. The real highlight for me is the shower, it's simply the best campsite shower I've ever used, loads of hot water! The whole site has been thought and planned out really well but still feels rustic and wild.
Anna is a great host, always around if you need help but pretty much let's you get on with it. Bude and other beaches are an easy drive away

We love bakesdown! We’ve been visiting bakesdown for many years now and every time is amazing. It’s great to get away from everyday life, into the peace and quiet. The kids loved camping and the site is a great base to get to some lovely beaches, bays and coastal walks. We will be back again!

This is total isolation camping. We stayed on the Brimstone pitch which is exclusively for you. We saw nobody at our pitch for the whole stay. Separate toilet, shower facilities and our own fire pit. No queueing for toilets or showers and no pots and pans being bashed around you at 5 in the morning. No noise in the evening and a lovely lay in! Very relaxing and perfect if you want to be away from the hussle and bustle especially in the school holidays. Only 10 minutes drive to Widemouth Bay. Fridge, freezer and charging lockers available at the main farm building.

The Cabin is beautifully designed and gives you lots of space in beautiful surroundings. With its well- equipped field kitchen, lovely firepit area and surprisingly unsmelly compost loo it's a great sanctuary away from busy beaches and traffic. It works its magic on us every time we come. Thank you to Anna and Brad of the Bakesdown team.

Ok, so I’m slightly biased here - this was our 7th visit - so pretty obviously we loved it. The kids lovingly refer to the Great Orchard Cabin as the “Holiday Shed” but our name doesn’t do it justice. A beautiful quiet spot with loads of space, friendly owners and a unique holiday. Surrounding towns are wonderful and so much to do - or you can just head to the beach and eat ice cream and take it easy! We love it and will be back for visit 8 next year 😜

Wonderful holiday as always. Love being in the middle of nowhere. The lodge, kitchen area, shower and loo are all well maintained and mean you just have to turn up and enjoy.

We've enjoyed staying at the Bakesdown Farm Campsite many times, both simple camping, exclusive camping and at the cabin. It's a charming rural setting, and particularly at the Cabin, great to have comfy beds and a hot shower, whilst still feeling submerged in nature. We love visiting Sommerleaze beach in Bude, and being able to borrow body boards from the farm was great. My favourite part has to be stargazing whilst wrapped up by the fire.

A stunning spot, the owner and family are really helpful and friendly, the wildlife is amazing. Listening to the birdsong in the morning and evenng and watching the bats hunting over "our" field was a joy. Life slowed down and we spent our mornings happily watching the cows coming out of the milking parlour in the field across the valley.
We were on "Brimstone", a pitch to yourself with its' own shower and toilet and two firepits.
However the site is down narrow lanes and is quite isolated. You can have up to 8 people camping for company, but you need to have a car to get to the nearest shop/pub etc.

Just the most beautiful place ! We love staying here- simple and peaceful and close to some lovely beaches as well.

Bakesdown farm is an amazing place to stay. It is quiet and feels like you get away from everything. It’s close to all you need for a great holiday though . The fields are just amazing and Anna is super helpful and kind
