What customers say
This campsite is highly praised for its stunning views, spotlessly clean facilities, and exceptionally friendly and helpful owners. Visitors highlight the excellent arrangements for children, including a play area and games tent, and the on-site cafe receives consistent positive feedback for its delicious food and reasonable prices. While the site offers a peaceful atmosphere and great value, some note that pitches can be sloping and ground can be hard, requiring sturdy pegs. Overall, a highly recommended destination for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Will deffo be returning! Our kids loved it and did not want to leave they loved the games room and play park and all the acres they could run free in and just be happy being kids. 10/10 stay

How campsite should be run. Informal but with attention to detail.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked This was our second stay on Quarry Hill Campsite and it’s improved immensely without loosing any of its no-frills charm. Great to have the graded strips for camping on the flat, despite the hillside location and the views are to die for, as were the breakfasts from the food shack, which were perfect and so inexpensive.
Just a great stay which’ll probably warrant a 3rd visit in the future.

Non-electric grass campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a very good induction and followed the quad bike up to the pitch. Facilities were clean and tidy. A quiet campsite although the road can become noisy. Not the owners fault though
Disliked Make sure park on the flat part or you slip down your bed.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We liked everything..... great location, less than 10 minutes from the beach, lovely and welcoming hosts, the whole site is very, very clean, the pitches are well spaced out, beautiful view, great value for money, the snack bar is out of this world and its worth coming just for the this alone, games room if you fancy trying your hand at pool etc, we were able to take our dog who loved every minute. Thanks so much and can't wait to book again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Some games in the play tent helped to keep the kids occupied.
Nice views
Clean and tidy
Disliked The site is on a big hill so not great for getting around and limited level pitching space.
The bins were far away from where we were placed and not many around the site.

From the manager: Hi
Thank you for staying with us and your review, of Quarry Hill Campsite, we do state in our listing and our name that we are on a hillside and sorry that this is wasn’t noted on booking. We have 5 bins around the quarry which are emptied throughout the day we don’t have any to the far left but unfortunately cannot place any there but feel we have adequate refuse bins available. We also have 4 level tent box / camper pitches, and 26 other level pitches on a tier system which give fantastic views of the coastline which we hope you enjoyed. We are glad that you took advantage of the free games on site and hope you have a lovely summer.
