What customers say
This holiday park offers a vast array of activities for families, with many praising the clean facilities, especially the new toilet and shower blocks. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Popular amenities include the swimming pool, arcades, and on-site food options. However, some visitors noted issues with pitch conditions, particularly muddiness after rain, and occasional noise disturbances. Several reviews indicate the site is undergoing renovation, suggesting future improvements.

Don't expect any motorhome service points.
Electric grass pitch
Liked New toilet block.
Disliked Filthy site with lots of rubbish strewn around. No where to drop grey water and a single drinking water tap to try to fill up the on board fresh water tank. Those two was not in an accessible place and had to be abandoned.

Mixed review alot of good points but some major bad ones!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Gluten free menu options
Sign posted clearly
Clean well maintained toiletsArcade staff friendly and polite fantastic with autistic son picking prizes
Disliked Limited swim session and having to book a day in advance, this should be more clearly advertised.
Male life guard would only talk to female swimmers, noted for a good 45 minutes this was very off putting for family . When I did attempt to speak with him he passed me on to another life guard so he could continue a casual conversation with a group of females.
Arcade is very understaffed and constant issues with machines on multiple visits

Liked The pizzas are very nice but a little expensive. Plenty to do for children on site.
Disliked Even though stated minimum distance of 3 metres between pitches we was lucky if we have 1.5m between tents either side of us. Pitches are not as big as stated. Our 6x4m tent just about fit on our pitch. Very noisy at night, lots of people making noise after the 11pm curfew. Lot of rubbish around the site, hardly saw any workers in the touring part of the site over the 4 days we was there.

ok camp site it is budget so I guess you get what you pay for
Electric grass pitch
Liked The camp is a nice size and a lot to do, we had teenagers but managed to book swimming although our trip was cut short and only there 36 hours as the storm took hold 4 Aug 2025
Disliked Upon arrival the reception was closed speaking to what seemed like a call
Centre overseas. After half a hr waiting around finally file me pitch numbers.
The pitch was full of stones so getting the tent pegs in was a nightmare.
After our tent was up we realised we had pitch on dog poo the whole area outside and inside our tent stank disgusting!!!
The electric hook up was a distance from the tent so 4 extension leads as didn’t have the long electrical one which I suggest is a must here.
People had left The day after we arrived and left broken mirror, rubbish, tent pegs bins over flowing.
Toilets grubby toilet roll everywhere kids in and out with no shoes and mucky wet floor I didn’t see any cleaners in or around in fact I saw one member of staff on a little buggy there was no staff to be seen.
Showers were ok not much facilities here a plug for hairdryer and straighteners would be ideal. ( hair dryers are fitted) The ceiling for the showers is a high gloss so as soon as my autistic daughter saw these she was worried people would see her reflection and I sure could see her as I waited for her. No shelves in shower for bottles constantly pressing shower every 3 seconds and bending down to pick bottles up while holding toothbrush, could be so much easier with the addition of a shelf.
The restaurant is extortionate we decided to cook ourselves, £14 for a margarita from the pizza van, fish box was so tasteless frozen chicken burgers and just overpriced.

Lots to do for kids.…
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lots to do for kids.
Disliked Expensive. Food and drink was expensive if you wanted to eat on site. The shop was very overpriced too. Over £2 for a loaf of white sliced bread. £13 for a pizza. £11 for a small portion of fish and chips. The fish was mostly batter.
Not that clean. They should employ more cleaners for the shower and toilet blocks. Floors dirty. No sinks in the shower block, you have to brush your teeth in the toilets.
Swimming pool was ok but I was told when coming out and trying to rebook for the next day that I had to come back at 4pm. I had booked the 2 previous days at around 11am without any problems so no idea why I was unable to book again. Should have asked. When my husband went in to book at around 5 o’clock he was told they only had a late slot for the next day. No good for my youngest.
The grass pitch we were given was full of stones. We ended up binning most of our pegs as they were so bent where we had tried to get them in the ground. It also had mess from the people before us that hadn’t been cleared. There seemed to be an upended ashtray with cigarette butts still there. Also some old plastic bags and a lump of dog muck. Lovely.
I had emailed the site a week or so before we came to ask if we could have a pitch close to the toilet and shower block as my son had broken his leg and was on crutches. No apparently that was too much trouble to keep something close for us, we just had to tell the man who showed us to our pitch when we arrived. We did ask the guy who showed us to our pitch but he said you have to take what there is. We were no where near the toilets.
There was a lot of noise, it went on until around midnight in the good weather. Adults screaming and shouting at each other. No security that I saw. There was a bloke in a van who spent time driving around the site. Possibly could have done with him starting a bit later and telling people to shut up by 11pm.
The arcade wasn’t great. We put a few pound coins in the machines and they didn’t work. The basketball game must be raking it in. Pool table works but you have to give the money slot a good shake if you want the balls to come out. No one around to tell. One overworked guy on the bar.
We came home early in the end. I felt like an inconvenience.
