Tamar campsite
Tamar campsite
Tamar Campsite sits beside Upper Tamar Lake on the Devon and Cornwall border, roughly 25 minutes' drive from the coastal town of Bude.
The site accommodates tents, caravans, and motorhomes on both electric and non-electric pitches, and wooden glamping pods are also available. On-site facilities include showers, toilets, a washing-up area, baby changing, waste disposal, recycling, and a café.
The lake setting makes it a natural base for watersports, with kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and sailing all on offer — visitors can hire equipment or launch their own craft when the activity centre is open, typically May through September.
Cycling and fishing are also popular, and a three-mile gravel path circles the lake. A children's play area and surrounding woodland round out the outdoor options for families.
