Why stay here ...
By the Byre caravan site is down a quiet country lane overlooking the River Neat and Bude Canal. This is a dog friendly site with superb walks and cycling right on your doorstep.
This tranquil site has 5 hardstanding pitches with half of each pitch being grass to put up an awning if you wish. Each pitch has electric hook ups. There is a CCEP along with recycling and waste facilities. Situated on the outskirts of Bude it provides wonderful access to the North Cornwall and North Devon Coasts, with plenty of beaches and some of the best cliff walks in England all close by, this is a wonderful retreat and one where man's best friend is welcome as well! (two medium sized and well behaved dogs!) The site itself is situated on a working farm so guests are asked kindly to keep their dogs on a lead.
The Bude canal and cycle way passes yards from the site and you can follow either of these to the centre of town. Bude has a huge variety of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops, which are a 15 minute walk away, but the beaches of the North Cornwall coast are the must see attraction.
It doesn't take long to discover that Bude is possibly more diverse than any other holiday destination in Cornwall. Most major villages, towns and attractions are within an hour's drive; and because Bude sits on the county border, visitors are free to explore the delights of both Devon and Cornwall at their leisure. Look past the eight main beaches and many smaller hidden coves and you soon see there really is something for everyone.
As it is a pleasant walk to the town centre of Bude, the huge sandy beach is a favourite with children and adults alike, there is an outdoor sea pool, pretty canal, golf course, splash pool and tennis courts, and you can enjoy all of this without the need of a car! Bude is Cornwall's most northern town and has been a favourite seaside resort since Victorian times. The coastal scenery surrounding the beaches is quite beautiful, boasting some of the finest sandy beaches and the best surfing in England! The town has excellent facilities and a wide selection of interesting, independent shops. This idyllic area has a large amount of bird life for the dedicated twitcher and some wonderful, scenic walks along the South West coastal path.
The centre of Bude is a lively hub with concerts, dances and fetes as well as other events throughout the season. The town has a host of pubs, cafes and restaurants to suit every palate and there is a new Visitors Centre in the Crescent car park, a large children's play area, a 19th century canal and a small wharf amongst many other attractions.

Narrow access road. Good walking/cycle path into Bude.
By The Byre Caravan Site
5 nights July 2023. Never saw owner but on arrival there was an information board with info about our pitch. Terraced layout with hedges planted.
EHU and own water point, attached to the byre and we didn't spot until day 4! Long hose required.
Lovely setting and easy 15 minute walk into Bude via disused railway line. The Bank Tapas and Electric Bakery are closer and worth a visit if you are feeling flush ;-) TV signal good. 4G ok for streaming radio and web surfing.
Excellent base to explore Bude once you have arrived down the very narrow lane.
Love the Location
By The Byre Caravan Site
Fantastic peaceful spot, close to Bude Canal and only a 15 minute, level walk into town. There are good pubs, cafés, restaurants etc in the town and along the canal. We picked up the iwalkcornwall app circular walk Widemouth Bay to Bude. If you like walking, this is a great site. Good to see recycling bins and level pitches. Looking forward to our next visit.

spacious, ideally located CL
By The Byre Caravan Site
only the final half mile was a bit hairy down a single track road with only 1 or 2 passing places, but it was worth it for the lovely CL. Large roomy hard standing pitches with plenty of grass surrounding, the tiered pitches, bins, recycling point & CEP all housed in a discreet enclosure at entrance to site, lovely open aspect to the site and the access to the level path into Bude is just across the access road, bringing you into Bude in around 20 mins. Walking through the nature reserve and turning left along the canal is a lovely walk, about 45 mins the brings you to The Weir - Bistro, coffee house & wildlife centre overlooking a fishing lake, loved the alpacas. We would definitely recommend this CL and will return.
Nice Location
By The Byre Caravan Site
Easy to book with helpful arrival instructions. Well laid out site with good spacing on different levels. Directly from the site are traffic free walking and cycling paths with different routes through a nature reserve, these go to Bude or follow a circular walking route around the area taking in the Bude canal and local river. For Bude it's a pleasant level walk which takes 15-20 mins emerging alongside the canal, local eateries, tourist info etc. Walking on a little further the sandy beaches and coastal paths can easily be reached. Not forgetting the popular sea water swimming pool.
The castle museum near the harbour is excellent and there is a good cafe attached with views out to sea.
We have a dog and most places were dog friendly.
Bude has plenty to offer for short or longer stays.
Many thanks!
Great Site
By The Byre Caravan Site
Just returned from By the Byre and really enjoyed our stay. Easy walk into Bude and access to the coast path, loved the walk around the canal as well ( if any one has mobility issues, uses a buggy this site could be for you ).
Site was nicely laid out with hard standing pitches with generous spacing between each, water, cep, bins at the entrance to site but well screened, 25m hook up cable required to reach bollard on some pitches.
If there was a negative there was some road noise at certain times of the day and whilst we were staying there was a wood pecker that you could set your watch in the morning by, having a real go at the cable shielding on a telegraph pole ( loved that lol).
Hopefully will be able to get some repeat visits to this great CL.
