- Motorhome Trip to Tintagel and Widemouth Bay
This weekend we headed to Tintagel, North Cornwall in our motorhome.
We stayed at Camelford CAMC and our pitch was £20 per night.
The following day, in wind and rain, we took a drive down to Widemouth Bay and Bude.
Our motorhome is an Adria Plus 690 SC which we bought from Cara Motorhomes and Caravans in Stoke on Trent. www.caramotorhomes.co.uk/

I have to say I think this is the best vlog I’ve watched in a long long time, really informative and we enjoyed every minute of it.
The wife and I have decided to do that area over the winter months this year on the back of your video.
Many thanks for the considerable time and effort you put in to making them 👍
Thank you for watching and I am sure you will enjoy your winter trip. It is a lovely area with lots to explore. Enjoy your travels, Karina and Jules
Very good presentation skills.
Easy to listen to and keeps it rolling.
You'd be a smash on a breakfast tv programme.
Thank you 😊
I honestly didn’t think I’d watch to the end....throughly relaxing and enjoyable.
😀
Thank you Graeme 😊
Remember going tintagel as we were tent camping in Bude in 2003 and whilst i was at tintagel castle and stood on the old bridge when a gull pooped on my head, it was freezing cold on my scalp even though the weather was gloriously hot and sunny. I was told suppose to be good luck, still waiting 😉
😂😂😂Well that sounds lovely…glad you remembered your trip with such a fond memory 😊😬 Kar
Brilliant video. We are new to motor homing and knowing where you can park when you are out for the day is one thing we really need to know so thank you very much. Also loved the fish and chip review they did look tasty.
Thank you Jan, I hope it’s useful 😊
I love your vlogs, we’ve just bought a caravan, we’re members of our very unofficial village caravan and motorhome group, I have tipped them all about your vlogs, especially parking. Cornish folk will tell you Widemouth Bay is pronounced Widdmuth. Black Rock cafe brings back happy memories of holidays years ago. They did the most amazing scones
Thank you Sandra…enjoy your touring this year and I am glad it brought back some memories 😊 Karina
Really enjoyed the vlog, we’re heading to Bude this summer, so thanks 😊
It would be a really nice day out in better weather, we will do going back to explore it properly. Enjoy your summer trip! Karina and Jules
Very informative video I shall be visiting Tintagel next year.
Thanks and it is certainly worth a visit 😊 Karina
Can’t beat Widemouth Bay where you followed the road on the bend there are a couple of parks where you can book stay, I really enjoyed my stay. 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
Thanks Linda, yes I saw the sign for a holiday park 😊 I bet on a good weather day its amazing there looking out at the sea. Have a nice week 😊 Karina
You can’t beat being at the sea when it’s pouring. Looks like you’re having a good wkend.👍
Thanks for watching Bernard, we have made the most of the wet weather. I hope you had a good weekend, Karina and Jules
Love every minute of you’re videos, love you’re in depth talks and you’re chip shop reviews. In fact I like it all 😀
Thank you 😊
Hi there 👋 Just subscribed to your channel...really really enjoyed it! I love how your calmness and information comes over and definitely gives me the confidence that I could actually drive a motor home and enjoy it! I’m looking forward to catching up on previous and future vlogs, Happy Travels x
Thank you Diane, I hope you find the confidence to do it. I am really enjoying motorhoming, I have been on several trips by myself and once you have a routine it all falls in to place. 😊 Karina
Fantastic vlog , nice to see someone taking the trouble showing the lovely sites we do have in Britain , well done both of you 👍👍
Thank you Kev 😊
Very good information. Were going this Saturday
Enjoy your visit, it looks like you will have some good weather 😊
Brilliant vlog Karina!! I love how knowledgable and prepared you are to visit new places. Thanks for all the info on this one, those fish and chips looked bloody lovely too lol 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you T M, have a great bank holiday weekend 😊
That was a very comprehensive look around, with lots of useful hints and tips for motorhomers. Another place to visit close by is Boscastle, there is a nice walk down though the town to the sea where you can pick up the coastal path again
Thank you Ann 😊
Excellent as per normal thanks for sharing your our wonderful weekend away really enjoyed that very informative as ever.
Thank you Ian, home again in the morning until the next adventure. I hope you had a nice weekend, Karina
@@HereWeTow thanks just a steady one this week away Friday for Bank holiday to uphill marina and campsite looking forward to it hopefully weather will improve
Thank you for a lovely hour spent watching this video 😊 Lou
Thank you Louise 😊
Excellent Vlog guys with really useful information. It looks a lovely part of the country to explore with a fabulous rugged coastline. Thanks for sharing your travels and views. Best wishes Sue, Brian and The Westies 👍🐶🐾🐾🐾😀
Thank you, have a lovely week 😊
Love that area of the country, not jealous, LOL
Thanks Mark and Coral, have a great weekend 😊
Great stuff 👍👍👍👍👍👍
As for “Merlins cave”; went there many (~20) years ago on holiday, and if Merlin did live in there I would imagine that Excalibur would have become a little rusty.
English Heritage (and National Trust) can be expensive per property, but for the price of visiting 4 of the pricier ones you can get an annual membership - can be worth it if you travel more regularly, and the last time I checked both worked with their Scottish and Welsh equivalents if heading over the “border” too.
An extra benefit (especially in Cornwall) is that NT membership also gives free parking at many of their car parks.
Thank you Ian, yes I saw the EH membership and I think we will look to join the NT. like you say, the free parking is probably worth it alone. Our friends are members. I’m not sure about this cave business either 😂 Have a good week, Karina
I'm glad you lke my neck of the woods. Some of it can be tacky but the castle is better since they restored a lot of it. The best times to visit are outside of summer holidays as the traffic is awful. North Cornwall and North Devon are more scenic than the south. I've walked from Lynmouth to Lands End on the coastal path in April to May.
I loved my visit 😊
Nice part of the world no doubt , glad you're having a good time. We were down there last year and enjoyed it very much. Salted Caramel is my fav too.
Thank you Helen and Martin..I will be catching up on your adventures when I get home today. 😊🐶 Karina
Great vlog. We live in Penzance and went Tintagel for the 1st time last October. You can go to Merlins cave without paying. You follow the path down past the gift shop and toilets round to the left and down some steps to the beach/cave when the tide is out of course
Thank you for the tip about the cave, I would have liked to have seen that. We are back in Cornwall later in the year. Penzance is lovely 😊 Karina
Nice to see your enjoying being back on the road, another excellent video, unfortunately here in British Columbia we are restricted to essential travel only at the moment, regarding the fish & chips some of the best we had were in Whitby, i'm sure you can testify to that, thanks again.
Thank you Alex and hope BC comes out of restrictions soon. Yes, Whitby has a few excellent chip shops, The Magpie is very well known. Take care, Karina and Jules
Had many a holiday in bude it’s a lovely place!!! We stay at wooda farm which is at the top of bude, great video again guys
Oh we are staying at Wooda for 2 nights in August so am looking forward to trying the site. 😊 Karina
Hi ya Karina and Jules.
I'll parrot the rest of the comments, brilliant vlog.
Thing is I can't understand why a bloke the size of Jules only has one scoop of icecream, glad you got him two Karina.🍦
Beautiful country, going that way next year ourselves, so a lot to look forward to.
Keep going guys love your vlogs as always.
Pete and Su.
Thank you Peter, we have been enjoying exploring the south west after moving down here. We are looking forward to a summer of more trips and visiting new places. Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sun, Karina and Jules 😊
Nice vlog really enjoyed that, Cornwall best place on the planet 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Pete 😊
I agree it’s helpful to know if a place is good to eat there.
real time fish and chip review!!!! thats the way ahead :)
😂👍
Really enjoyed watching that guys, you are really using that motorhome to its potential! You really made the most of that trip, getting out and about each day. Tintagel looked great, somewhere we’ve never been, and always good to get a review on fish and chips 🤣 we took our Motorhome to Bude and managed to get in the car park by the beach but it was busy. Great one guys, thanks for taking us with you! Oh, and it’s a bap in these parts 🤣🤣👍
Thanks guys, loving being back out again and here’s to many more fish and chip reviews 😊👍
Good to see you found the Yorkshire entrance at Tintagnel 🤣.
It is a bread roll 😉 or a sausage butty.
Another good vblog to watch over dinner 👍.
Yes, we enjoyed the visit in true Yorkshire fashion Sharon 😊 A good old sausage bap 😛 I hope you are both okay and looking forward to your next trip, Karina and Jules
This is a lovely place but wow it's a really windy site so if you have an awning you need alot of storm straps. X
Yes it is lovely..yes it is certainly windy 😂 Today the weather was very wet and wild but I am sure nice weather will be here again soon. Thank you for watching, Karina and Jules
Black rock cafe has a car park if you only want to use the cafe and a quick dog walk in a car .
Thanks for that David 😊
Great video you two, very informative. Shame about the weather but the fish n chips and the bacon and sausage baps looked good. I think I've always pronounced it " Widdymuth " bay......who knows lol. Enjoy your time ;))
Thank you Stew, when you have a mouth full of bacon bap no one knows how you’re pronouncing it anyway 😂 Have a lovely week, Karina and Jules
Just watched Bob and Jenny at Tintagel. Are you stalking them? 🤣🤣🤣. Good vlog , we're enjoying the South West 😀
🤔🤭😂 We didn’t see them but looks like Tintagel is a popular spot. I hope you are both okay, Karina 😊
I love your accent!
😆Thanks
Great video for us as we are going to be doing a 3 week 5 stop tour of Devon and Cornwall this summer.
In a caravan........with 3 kids.....wish us luck!
How are you finding motorhome life? Do you ever miss the caravan?
😂Good luck, but there is so much to do the kids will love it. We are doing Devon and Cornwall in the summer too so might bump into you! We are loving the Motorhome, thank you, it works perfectly for us right now. Enjoy your trips and travels 😊 Karina and Jules
@@HereWeTow would love that but i reckon my crazy horde would put a dampener on your grown up couple time for sure!
Love my babies so much but gosh. SO jealous of your motorhome adventures with just the two of you!
One day.......
This made good Sunday night viewing thanks We can’t decide on a motor home or caravan. Trying to weigh up the pros and cons.
We stopped at a CCC site just outside Buds in our old TT. Have visited a few lovely places around there .
Thanks Carol, we drove by the CCC site at Bude at might try that in the future. The choice between a caravan and motorhome is a tough one and comes down to what you want to get out of your trips 😊 Hiring a Motorhome would give you a good idea of how you find it. Have a nice week and thank you for watching, Karina
@@HereWeTow I hope you don’t mind me asking . We’ve been looking motorhomes and vans on the Adria website . Can you tell me what the difference between supreme and plus in finish please?
Hi Carol, the supreme is the top spec and has the silver cab and silver (aluminium) sides. The plus has a white cab and white side but you can have a silver cab as an option. The supreme has Alde wet heating and underfloor heating and the Plus has Truma air blown heating with Alde as an option. On both of the Motorhomes most people opt for the extra packs too. If you need any advice email me at herewetow@yahoo.com Karina
@@HereWeTow Thanks so much.
You must explore the coastal paths next time the views are amazing, there is a cafe and toilets down towards the cove where you can access the beach, Merlins Cave and waterfall and the coast path which goes by Trewethett and onwards to Boscastle or walk past Tintagel Church to Trebarwith Strand, when ever we have passed the chippy in Camelford there as always been a big queue so they must be good , the chippy in Boscastle is one you must try, I give them 9/10 😋
Thanks Geoff, we are planning to stay at Trewethett next year and will have more time to explore properly. I am sure the Boscastle chip shop will get a visit 😊👍 Karina
No chips with the sausage 😂 enjoy your break
Thank you for watching Mark and I am sure there will be more chips to come…have a nice week 😊 Karina and Jules
used to be a psychiatric hospital in Bodmin closed in the mid 1990s
I have heard of that, bit like High Royds at Guiseley which closed in 2003. Thank you for watching
Just got back from there, stayed at Wooda Farm in Bude.
Lovely site but weather was not kind 🤬
Some say “Camelford” is the original “Camelot”.
Just down the road is Boscastle which was allegedly the resting place of the fictional King Arthur.
Tintagel Castle was the supposed birthplace of King Arthur.
Glad you both have missed the bad weather 👍
I’ve got a few nights booked at Wooda in August so glad you liked it 😊 Between us I think we have this Camelot thing well covered 😂😊 Thanks for watching, Karina
It’s a shame you didn’t go to the fish & chip shop in Camelford. They sell some of the best I’ve had in Cornwall. Definitely worth a visit next time you go!
I know, it was closed on Sunday but I did see it got excellent reviews. One for next time 😊 Karina
Does the site insist that you pitch ‘nose in’ if you have an off-side hab door? I would have thought that the pitch you chose would allow you to reverse in as you don’t have any neighbors directly alongside. The view would be better reversing in.
No Robert, on a club site you can go either way round. We did reverse in but found we had a view of the storage yard and we were nose down and would have to level ourselves. For two nights we were happy to go nose in like we usually do. Thank you for watching and have a nice week, Karina and Jules
Loving you blogs. What do you mount your camera on on the dash for filming? Thanks
Thank you and its a Go Pro suction mount on the windscreen 😊
Great weekend vlog guys, when you finally decide to venture into god's country, come to Aberystwyth, it has dedicated motorhome parking, and i will also shout you some fish and chips :) happy days
That sounds like a very good offer Tony! I love Wales, it is beautiful 😍 Karina
We call it a roll and sausage,not to be confused with a sausage roll lol,great vlog pity about the weather but you looked as if you enjoyed it
I’ve never heard it called that before, I love that description 😊 Karina
@@HereWeTow its a scottish thing lol
Hi Karina, when you park across 2 bays and use a parking app, do you just pay twice on the app at the same time? Thanks!
If I use two bays I go pay on my card at the machine for two tickets. I don’t know if it’s possible on the app. If we only use one bay then we use the app for that. 😊 Karina
@@HereWeTow Great thank you. Really enjoying your latest vlogs, parking is my biggest concern when we get our MH as 'newbies' in July (just over 7m), so the tips and advice you give on this are really useful. Amazing that you can stay overnight in Cornwall for £4 at Tintagel, and looks quite straightforward (well, out of season anyway!)
Did you bump into Bob & Jenny Ernshaw, they are in the area also, just done a video at Boscastle. Your filming of Blackrock, Widemouth Bay & Bude made me think I was there, have spent many, many times happy times there, even bodyborded at Blackrock in a storm one November.......not to be recommended 😟😟😟😟
Thank you for watching Pete, we didn’t see Bob and Jenny but I see they were there too. In storms it must be wild there 😊 Karina
Enjoyed the Vlog any regrets on buying a motorhome I'm thinking of changing from caravan to motorhome, spoke to a couple last week that were going back to a caravan after owning a motorhome still havn't made my mind up
Personally we love it Reece, it’s hard to say what works best for other people. We like how easy it is to travel and set up. Once of site you do need to plan getting about more,such as parking, bikes or a bus. You could hire a Motorhome for a week and see how you found it, it could save you making a mistake down the line. I hope that helps, Karina 😊
Hi there luv watching your videos I have always wanted a Motorhome but I cannot afford one what do you think about hiring one.
Thank you Steve, hiring is a good idea, prices can be quite high in peak season but it gives you a good idea of if you would enjoy it or not. There are more and more companies doing hire now due to the popularity of motorhome holidays. Take care, Karina 😊
Once again really helpful video especially your triangle you leave on your pitch 👍
Would normally think of cooking your own rolls ?
Thanks Mark, we normally do our own sandwiches outside but with the awful weather we decided to get breakfast out. Hopefully better weather will arrive this week. 😊 Karina and Jules
Here we Tow sorry one question again couldn't see what it says on your A board can you let us know ?
I spend a lot of time in dorset near a town could Wareham ,so looking forward to your dorset video 😊
Its one of these Mark, we live Dorset and are looking forward to getting back for a visit 😊

Here we Tow thank you even though I don't have a motor home yet gonna buy one 😂take care
😂
its a bread cake....lol
What is a DL?
Oh sorry, it is the Motorhome we have on order, an Adria Compact DL. Thank you for watching, Karina
Hey... is it a cara....van
Or a caravan ?
😊
I think in the north of England we call it a cara van and that is our pronunciation. I have had this comment plenty of times and don’t know I am saying it differently. Must be the accent. Thanks for watching and take care, Karina
@@HereWeTow
You too 👍
Kelly's Num Num
Yes indeed!!! 😋
It’s a bun😂😂 great video
😊👍 Thank you for watching Maria
You should have gone and had a look at the post office, you can see it behind you as you were eating your ice creams.
Oh I totally missed that Emily, there was so much to see as we pottered around the village. We will be going back in the future so will hopefully see more of what we missed. Thanks you for watching, Karina
Why do people on RUclips insist on reviewing places they have never been to before and get it wrong . I live further up the coast and will try and correct the misinformation in this video . Widemouth Bay (pronounced Wid mooth ) has a daytime dog ban May - September .Black Rock Sands has no dog restrictions . The best cafe in my opinon is the one at Black Rock Sands .
Driving through Bude ( along the Strand ) we were told that the canal is on left ,this is in fact the River Neet .
Car parking in Bude , missed out the large car park behind Crooklets beach .
Notice to all large motorhome owners , do not blindly follow sat navs and jam up narrow roads this just makes the locals who are trying to go about their normal everyday business hate you even more .
Thank you for watching and sharing your local information

Not very impressed with the site. Bloody great pylon, and all the bins. No community kitchen or camp fire. Is this typical in the UK?
I dont know if the pylon was out in after the site was set up but this is not usual. A communal kitchen isn’t something you see often, just a washing up area. Having been to europe I was quite impressed with the kitchens. Camp fires are not common either, some sites allow them but most dont. Thanks for watching 😊 Karina
@@HereWeTow I have started to watch your previous videos, I found them very unbiased and informative. Keep up the good work. I especially like your Fish & Chip reviews.
Thank you 😊
Please wear your seat belt correctly. Sorry but the way you are wearing that wont save you in a frontal impact.
