Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Location was stunning, as was sun set. Toilets were decent, but if they changed 1 toilet Into a shower that would be brilliant!
Disliked: The road in was very rough and I'm pretty sure it has damaged the underneath of my car! Very bad night's sleep due to the wind coming off the sea and shaking my tent all night! Not the sites fault tho obviously, but something to consider if you go in poor weather.

Liked: Amazing location- you're camping almost on the beach as the farm overlooks it. Quite secluded aswell which is just what we wanted. Falling asleep listening to the crashing waves was so soothing. The owners were lovely and brought us some firewood on request - only £6 for a massive bag of logs/kindling (fire pits provided). Also offered us extra tent pegs if we needed as it was windy. The toilets were clean and well stocked with tissue/paper towels/soap and were proper toilets in a proper building. No lights though so make sure you bring torches. Thanks very much for having us would definitely come again.

Liked: We recently had the pleasure of visiting the friendly farm site for a weekend camping trip. Nestled amidst natures embrace, this campsite offers a unique combination of stunning mountain vistas and captivating views of the nearby sea. If you’re searching for a peaceful escape that immerses you in the beauty of both land and sea, this is the place to be. The facilities include washing station, drinking water tap and toilets which were very clean and well maintained, offering convenience without compromising the natural charm of the surroundings. Fire pits available to use and logs/fire lights can be purchased on site as well as fresh eggs! The couple who run the campsite were extremely friendly and helpful. Their warm hospitality adds an extra touch of comfort and makes you feel right at home. In conclusion, Selker camp site is a hidden gem that truly stands out for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape. I highly recommend this campsite to those who prefer more intimate settings looking to connect with natures beauty. Thank you so much, we will be back! Chabs and Nina

Liked: This is a really incredibly beautiful and quiet site. The views are amazing, where you can sit and just watch the sunset. Perfect place to go if you want to relax with nothing around you. We had a BBQ on the cliff edge next to the tent then walked the 30 seconds to the pebble beach. Can't recommend this site enough. :)
