What customers say
This campsite boasts a great location, praised for its proximity to coastal towns and attractions. Visitors frequently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the excellent on-site pub with good food and entertainment. Pitches are generally considered spacious and well-equipped. While many found the facilities clean, some guests noted that the toilet and shower blocks are dated and could benefit from refurbishment. Occasional noise from the adjacent railway line was mentioned by some.

Would not recommend
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Staff very friendly and the pub food was good.
Disliked Toilets and showers were disgustingly dirty and tatty. So much so that we couldn't find a shower clean enough to use. I would rate this site as being worth £20 for use of a pitch, not £35 for a pitch and use of showers and toilets. The site was crammed with campers so you would think they could afford a cleaner to maintain the showers and toilets.

Disappointed 😞
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Staff friendly at check in
Disliked Everything else! Write up said spacious pitches .. we were crammed into a space with 2 other MHs and none of us has room to wind out our awnings. Noisy until late due to people sitting outside and music (despite rules saying no noise after 10.30). Shower/toilet block..simply awful. Booked for 2 nights, left after 1st !

Awful
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Nothing.
Disliked 1) Probably OK if you were in the campervan/caravan side to the right as you enter the site which has spacious, defined pitches. We were in an area to the left as you enter with undefined pitches and tents and campervans crammed in like sardines.
2) Whilst the temporary generator was understandable and unavoidable, the noise was awful which made it an expensive and unpleasant stop over.
3) Toilet shower block was very dilapidated. We have stayed at cheaper sites with much better facilities.
4) Skip for rubbish absolutely stank and full of flies.

Very expensive for such crude facilities.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Pitch sizes to the right of pub are good size.(looked extremely crowded to the left). The girl who showed us to our pitch was very friendly, but didn’t know where the chemical toilet disposal was located, or the fresh water.
Disliked It felt very much like the pitches were part of the pub car park. The rubbish facilities were meagre, filthy and smelly. The shower and toilet block were old, dirty and not up to a decent standard. The floors were constantly wet as there were no mops left out for people to clean up after their showers. There was toilet paper in the toilets, also in the toilet locks , on the floor and in the sinks. There was still a generator being used on site for electricity, so quite loud( although after a while you got used to the noise). The site is within 20 feet (ish) of main train line, so lots of trains back and forward. With some investment and thought/planning, this site could be reasonable.
