About Us
Family owned campsite and farm, Lower Poulza Post, has been welcoming naturist visitors since the early 1990s. Miranda, or Tilly, as nicknamed by her dad, grew up at Lower Poulza Post from the age of 11, having moved there with parents, Bernard (Bernie) and Judy from the Fens. As a family they were continuing their self-sufficiency journey and expanding their small holding by moving to a farm in Cornwall.
Prior to moving to Cornwall, the family were naturists, visiting naturist beaches and holidaying at various campsites across the UK. Bernard and Judy were aware of the nearby beautiful but hard to reach naturist beach, The Strangles, in North Cornwall and the (no more) naturist beach just north of Bude. It wasn’t long before Bernie realised there was an opportunity for a naturist campsite based on a working farm in this secluded and restful location
30 years on, the campsite and farm, just 10 minutes from the North Cornwall coast, near Bude, is owned and run by Tilly with her own family. The campsite has 20 pitches and regularly attracts Suntrekker and SWBN rallies. Many families return year on year becoming long term friends, enjoying the peaceful and tranquil location as well as the opportunities to join in the work around the campsite and follow the changing seasons on the farm. Since Judy and Bernie have passed away, Tilly continues to run the farm and campsite along the values and beliefs instilled in her from an early age. Traditional farming methods, combining livestock and arable farming, the animals and food production work in harmony to nurture the land and grow good, slow, honest food whilst supporting habitats for nature and wildlife. Similarly, the campsite works in harmony with the farm, it remains a haven, a simple offer allowing visitors to relax, slow down, discover new skills, join in the daily work, make new friends, meet up with old friends, share memories and enjoy a slower and simpler pace of life. Fast-forward to the present day and that same sense of farm life and campsite lives
“My Dad, is no longer here with his big ideas and my Mum isn’t pricking out lettuces or stringing up tomatoes in the polytunnel, instead that’s me. Piglets continue to be born every year, the herd of cows is turned out for summer, spring lambs play tag across the fields, eggs are collected from the chickens daily and now my family continues to share our little piece of Cornwall with our friends – to me, and hopefully, to all of our visitors, it’s a truly special, beautiful and peaceful place.’
