Tamar Lake Farm

Tamar Lake Farm is a relaxed, family-run campsite tucked just inside Cornwall’s border, a stone’s throw from North Devon’s countryside and the scenic Tamar Lakes. Set on a gently sloping, sheltered site with plenty of space, it welcomes tents, touring caravans, and motorhomes—families, couples, and even well-behaved dogs are made to feel right at home. The vibe is laid-back and friendly, with well-spaced pitches, electric hook-ups, and essential facilities like clean toilets, showers, a dish washing area, and a chemical disposal point. There’s no fuss or frills, just the simple pleasures of camping beneath open skies, kids running free, and the sounds of nature all around. If you’re after a peaceful base where you can unwind and soak up the quieter side of Cornwall, this spot hits the mark.

Head out from camp and you’re perfectly placed to explore the best of the local landscape. The Tamar Lakes are right on your doorstep—ideal for walks, birdwatching, coarse fishing, and even a bit of water sports if you’re feeling adventurous. Follow the cycleway for a gentle pedal, or strike out on foot to nearby National Trust beaches like Northcott Mouth, Sandymouth, and Duckpool for dramatic cliffs and wild sands. The lively town of Bude is close by, with its golden beaches, historic canal, cosy museums, galleries, and plenty of places to grab a bite. Whether you fancy a slow amble, a bit of wildlife spotting, or a day by the sea, you’ll find it all within easy reach—no need to rush, just follow your curiosity.
