Non-electric grass tent pitch (small, two person, adults only)
Liked: - safe, friendly atmosphere - I specifically chose this campsite as a young female solo camper and it exceeded my expectations. - really clean toilets, showers, and washing up station. Never ran out of loo roll or hand soap. - hot showers (luxury!). - great location, can walk to the coast in less than half hour. - I was initially concerned I'd been assigned a pitch with no vehicles allowed, but there were plenty of car parking spaces just a few metres away. Really wasn't an issue at all.
