The location right by the beach…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The location right by the beach was great and we really liked the non electric pitches right at the end which felt a bit more surrounded by greenery!

Wouldn’t go again
9m electric grass pitch
Liked Staff were nice and location was good

I haven’t got anything negative to…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I haven’t got anything negative to say. Very friendly personal. A lovely atmosphere on the campsite. A bit more food options like fresh fruit and vegetables in the campsite shop would top things off. I really enjoyed my self and will definitely recommend it to fellow campers and will be coming back to visit again.

It could be a good idea to use the smaller field for adult only area ?
9m electric grass pitch
Liked The helpful staff in reception/shop
The ample space of our pitch 9m and glorious sandy beach.
Disliked Having to pick up someone's cigarette butts before we could set up camp, people who ignored the play area to play football or frisby, so they obviously didn't read the site rules.
