Lower Poulza Post — Bude
A naturist campsite located on a working farm in the serene heart of North Cornwall, Lower Poulza Post is secluded but also close to the ocean.
The campsite has been running for over 20 years, with many campers returning year after year and becoming firm friends with the owners.
When you arrive at Lower Poulza Post, you’ll always be treated with a warm welcome.
It’s no wonder people keep on coming back.
We’re not surprised they ended up on Cornwall’s top naturist site list.
The site is open all year.
However, the owners do ask that you contact them before setting off on your naturist adventure.
After all, you probably don’t want to be frolicking around without your clothes during heavy rain or adverse weather conditions.
Lower Poulza Post permits you to go anywhere on the site as nature intended except the farmyard. Nearby, there is an “unofficial” naturist beach called Strangles –A favourite among the community.
The site and beach welcome families who are ‘first-time’ naturists, where not everyone (to begin with) joins in the naturist way.
Back at the site, enjoy an evening in the clubhouse reminiscing on the day just gone.
Or if the sun is still shining, why not light up a BBQ, sit around the picnic tables and make some new friends?
