Willow Valley, nestled in the Strat Valley near Bude, North Cornwall, offers a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking relaxation and connection with nature. Established in a picturesque area of outstanding natural beauty, our family-run park provides diverse accommodation options including camping pitches, glamping units, and self-catering lodges with hot tubs. Since August 2024, Becky and John have continued the legacy of maintaining this peaceful site while introducing thoughtful improvements to enhance guest experiences. Our 22 pitches, spread across grass and hardstanding areas, cater to families, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts, complemented by amenities such as a children's play area, laundry facilities, and a refurbished shower block. The park's unique offerings include a 16th-century farmhouse with a private hot tub, a converted American school bus, and shepherds huts, ensuring something to suit every preference.

Located just six miles into Cornwall from Devon, we provide easy access to coastal attractions, nature reserves, and recreational activities while preserving the serenity of our rural setting. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our AA 4 Star Gold Pennant rating, and we maintain a balance between modern comforts and the natural charm of the Strat Valley. With four acres of dedicated parkland and seven acres of wilderness to explore, guests can enjoy birdwatching, riverside walks, and stargazing in an environment where wildlife thrives. We prioritise guest convenience through an onsite shop for essentials, spacious pitch sizes, and proximity to supermarkets within two miles. Whether seeking adventure or relaxation, Willow Valley remains a haven where visitors can unwind amidst Cornwall's natural beauty.
