Wild Wanderers, family friendly, rough and ready, wild and woolly Camping on the Devon/Cornwall Border!
We family run and we are excited to offer our very first camping season! NEW FOR 2026!
After three years of welcoming families to our much-loved holiday cottages, we're thrilled to open our fields for our very first camping season. With just a handful of boutique pitches on our family-run smallholding, we're giving even more families the chance to experience the magic of Wild Wanderers. Expect the same warm welcome, beautiful countryside and unforgettable adventures, just with a tent, a campfire and a little more wilderness.
This isn't a holiday park. There are no flashing arcades or rows of identical pitches. Instead, you'll find space to breathe, children free to explore, and the kind of camping that creates the stories you'll still be talking about years later.
Wake up to birdsong, wander down to the river for a paddle or wild swim, meet our friendly sheep and farm animals, toast marshmallows around the campfire and watch the stars come out.
We're keeping things beautifully simple with clean toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area everything you need, without taking away the feeling of being close to nature.
Bring your BBQ, hire one of our raised fire pits, or join us on one of our popular wood-fired pizza evenings. Don't forget to grab one of our famous s'mores kits... because camping simply isn't camping without gooey marshmallows!
Perfectly placed on the Devon and Cornwall border, we're just a short drive from Bude's award-winning beaches, fantastic surfing, breathtaking coastal walks and endless family adventures.
Already loved by hundreds of families staying in our cottages, this is now your chance to enjoy the same beautiful setting on a camping budget.
What you'll love
• Spacious pitches on our boutique family smallholding
• Riverside adventures, fishing, paddling and wild swimming
• Friendly sheep and farm animals to meet
• Campfires (raised fire pits only) and BBQs welcome
• Wood-fired pizza nights on selected evenings
• S'mores kits available to make evenings extra special
• Family-friendly atmosphere with plenty of space to roam
• Well-behaved dogs welcome
• One-night stays accepted
• A short distance from Bude, surfing beaches and the best of both Devon and Cornwall
Whether you're surfing at sunrise, building dams in the river with the kids, or ending the day around the fire beneath a sky full of stars, Wild Wanderers is all about slowing down, reconnecting and making memories together.
We can't wait to welcome you to our little corner of the countryside.

We moved here in 2021 to start a camping site. It has been our dream for a long time to give people a great experience and enjoy the wonderful part of the UK that we live in. Come and make some memories. We have 27 acres, the campsite is approx 5 acres with well spaced pitches. and includes access to the wooded area and lake also. We have 2 fields that we have separated for children and dogs to play. There is a stunning lake where you can watch ducks, birds and geese. The wooded area is brimming with wildlife and wild flowers, deer are often running by in the woods. This area is a like a world away, an idyllic escape.

Dartmoor at its best! No frills, no fuss. Definitely not manicured pitches. We absolutely loved it. Met the host but he wouldn't have come over to us if we hadn't gone to thank him first. A wave would have been enough for him we felt very welcome.

Such a beautiful, magical spot next to the river through the trees. Peaceful, felt like being in the heart of nature. The fairy trail took me back to my childhood. Felt really welcomed. Facilities good. Loved all the sheep, goats, chickens, bats, owls and the cows on the other side of the river. A truly wild experience. We will be back

I would absolutely recommend this place.
Serina and Craig have a lovely section of land for camping that is surrounded by trees wildflowers and wildlife.
It is very peaceful and has some great spots to pitch up the tent.
The showers are power full clean and hot.
We also got the heads up for the pizza night freshly made by Serina and Graig which were 10/10 and they even made a vegan version for my partner.
Our dog absolutely loved roaming around and swimming in the river that runs along camp and enjoyed the company of the sheep that roam around.
We shall definitely be returning best campsite I’ve stayed at for a while.
Many thanks Serina and Graig 🙂

Spacious and well-equipped kitchen set up for the yurts. Friendly and informative staff were on hand to sort out any issues we had. A peaceful campsite with plenty of space between other yurts and campers. Nice hot showers, and I loved the touch of fresh meadow flowers. Brilliantly located (just a short walk) to Gara Beach and the South West Coastal Path. We had a wonderful time and will recommend it to friends. Thank you to Tobdan and Tenzen for inviting our daughter on a bike ride to the next village for an ice cream!

Beautiful setting, large site, lovely old oak trees and river running through, very spacious pitches.
Sauna and river swimming very invigorating, children enjoyed the trampolines and the dog loved the freedom.
Minimal facilities, no mobile reception, truly off grid.

This place is a hidden gem, probably one of the best campsites we’ve ever stayed at! The setting is beautiful, the family who run it are lovely, and the onsite pizza oven/ bar was a great surprise when we arrived! Shower block and toilets were spotless, the water was lovely and hot, fire pit rental for £5 and the fact you can forage for your own wood is a awesome. we can’t wait to come back again. 10/10

We extended our stay because we loved it so much. Would definitely stay again. It is next to a public footpath, but still feels more private woodland than anywhere else we have stayed. No facilities, so take your own loo & water. Great for self sufficient campers.
