What customers say
This peaceful campsite boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from a beautiful beach. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and welcoming owners, as well as the clean and well-maintained facilities, including modern toilets and showers. Pitches are noted as well-kept with good spacing. Some minor points raised include occasional issues with shower temperature consistency, a lack of drying space in showers and by washing-up sinks, and the availability of toilet paper. The manager has addressed feedback regarding booking single nights and shower temperature, with improvements noted by later reviewers.

Lovely family campsite
Ready tent (no pets)
Liked Lovely campsite…it was my first time going with my two girls, I loved that it was a family campsite and that we didn’t have to worry about parties all night, loud music etc. the camp warden (didn’t catch he’s name) was really nice and made us feel really welcome! Beach was just a short 5 min walk away, such a good location. I will definitely be back.
Disliked Not really a dislike but the WiFi only worked during the day - with two teenage daughters it would have been handy to have overnight 😊
