Wild Camping in North Devon/Cornwall

Post by Emz »

Hi!

I'm a new (and VERY proud) T25 owner! i've had the van for a couple of months now and am loving him so much - although work is suffering slightly, with lots of little spontanious trips away!

I was just wondering if anyone can reccommend anywhere good for wild (free) camping on the north coast of Devon and Cornwall please?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Emz and welcome to the club. If you fill in the membership form ^^^ you'll get access to Members only where you will find a wild camping map. One place I would recommend is about 8 miles north of Bude - head for Stibb and then continue to Coombe Valley. There is a turnoff to Duckpool. It's a lovely spot, but you are likely to have company. There were a couple of other vans staying over when we were there a couple of weeks ago. It's an NT carpark and has the usual "no camping" notices, but nobody seems to take any notice! Have fun.

We actually stayed on the road - we figured that it's a public road so they can't stop you! (besides which the car park was a bit too uneven!)
