What customers say
This is a quiet, spacious campsite with a relaxed approach to arrival and departure. Guests praised the peaceful atmosphere, lovely walks to the beach and village, and the convenient location near a cafe and excellent pizza place. Basic facilities include portaloos and a water tap. Some visitors noted that the portaloos could be cleaner and that there's a lack of waste disposal, dishwashing areas and showers, with a few finding the price a little high for the basic amenities.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great. No complaints. It's not an open green field, as I thought it would be based on photos. It's mostly a crop but maybe once it's harvested it's a great big open field. Lovely walks to go from the campsite. People here were actually more quiet than other campsites and it was completely peaceful at a reasonable time. Delicious pizza just 2 minutes away. I'd definitely recommend and would stay again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Quiet pitch, spread out in a kind of semi circle looking out to the field, has internet connection ( if you have kids wanting play on phone🤦♀️) toilets were clean. Water tap far left when you come in. Pub half a mile away , popped in way back from seahouses for a pint and take away fish n chips which were lovely about £15 each. Didn’t try pizza place but looked lovely. Love how there’s no time limit to arrive or leave. Beach is more a 20-30 mins walk.
Disliked You can hear the cars from the road

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Easy to get to, and we were able to turn up when we wanted, and leave when we were ready. We really liked the walk through the woods to the beach.
It wasn't too busy, and the toilets were clean (portaloos).
Reasonable price too.

Overall, great for price. Would stay again
Anonymous Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Price, local cafe and pizza shop with beer on tap and DJ. 3 x portaloo with plenty paper.
Disliked A little narrow for when kids were playing and main road has no path but being a little picky here...

Nearly Wild ! Lovely location
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Location wise this was great. In the country with a Short walk to village. 25 minutes to sea .pizza and gift shop
Over the road . Because it’s basically just a field you can pitch where you want and no rush to leave
Disliked There’s three portaloos (not the calmest by Saturday morning f !) and one water tap way at the end of the field. But it’s unfair to call them problems because it is what it is and what it is advertising as. Nearly wild camping Pricing for two ok. But as its per person would work
Out pricy with kids

Good location
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely field of crops to look over with full view of the sunrise. 1 long strip of campers meaning you’re not surrounded by others. Portaloos are new so decent. Able to walk around the field with the dog. Good walk to beach around 15 minutes. We walked up the beach to the next village to find a good pub for a drink and ice cream. Great coffee shop opposite site, best coffee we’ve had. Proper pizza oven there is also really good. Village has good pubs, the Castle Inn food was lovely. Also village shop but we didn’t use. Nice location, will go again.
