Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything! Colin (owner) is lovely, came to make sure we’d set up okay after we’d arrived in super wet conditions and to point out the facilities. Showers were the best we’ve had camping - clean, hot and pretty good water pressure too! Toilets and washing up area were also always clean. Pitches are spacious and the view of the sea was gorgeous! Also a dog exercise area that our pooch loved. If you’re thinking about staying, book it! You won’t regret it.
Disliked Depending on your pitch you are open to the elements a bit so prepare for wind, not something that bothered us in the slightest though.

Great site for relaxing and walking
Electric grass pitch
Liked The views from the pitch were brilliant. Facilities were clean and showers were hot (not push button) and free. EHU was constant and no problems - easy walking to the SW coastal path albeit some of the footpaths to get to the SWCP were very overgrown. Colin the owner was lovely and always on hand if you needed anything - will definitely be back to this little gem!
