Welcombe Cross Caravanning Camping And Glamping

Welcombe Cross, trading as Welcombe X, is a family run caravanning, camping and glamping site on the Devon and Cornwall border at Welcombe Cross near Hartland, in the Bideford area of North Devon. It sits handy for Bude, Clovelly and Hartland, with the South West Coast Path and the Tamara Way close by for coastal and valley walking, and a bar and restaurant within walking distance. Touring guests get large pitches with electric hook-up that take tents, caravans, motorhomes, camper vans and roof tents, while anyone after something different can pick from quirky glamping, including a bow top gypsy wagon, a yurt, a shepherd's hut and a bee hive style hideaway, plus the larger Long Acre Lodge for family stays. Onsite there are showers, toilets, a laundry room and a friendly social area for meeting other campers. The mix of pitches and glamping means it works for tent campers, tourers and glampers alike, though it is a smaller, laid back site rather than a big resort park with pools and clubs. The owners note that booking direct by phone or email is cheaper than through the listing sites they also advertise on. For a flexible base on the quieter Devon and Cornwall border coast, near Hartland and Bideford, Welcombe X is a solid pick, and its current website is welcombex.co.uk.
