Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The campsite is lovely and the woman that greeted us was nice and friendly. We stayed in a roof tent and would recommend ramps as not much of the ground is level. The first pitch we had was way to slanted but was able to ring and ask if we could move and it was no problem at all.
A nice forest dog walk to the beach which is a little longer or 10 mins down the road, we went the long way to keep dog cooler.
Campsite was quiet and relaxing.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay.
Disliked That you couldn’t change the temp of the showers, it was so hot and just wanted to jump into a cool shower but once it’s hot, it’s boiling and was no good with sunburn.
The shop wasn’t very well stocked and no cold drinks in the fridges, the lady did say they hadn’t had there delivery yet for summer though.

Lovely site
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely location, greeted on arrival with site map and information. Lots of water points. Level, clean pitches. Although it was allocated pitches, they were big and not too squashed together, I was given a more shaded pitch as the weather was soo hot which was very appreciated.
Disliked Some of the toilets were closed and could have had a sign. The pizza place was closed and no obvious opening times so I couldn’t plan to go.

A lovely peaceful site, in a great location. Will definitely go back!

Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely sized pitches, own water tap and picnic bench and fabulous views of the coast.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
The site was well maintained, with shower/toilet/wash up block very clean.
Disliked Although the WiFi was available for free it was very patchy and signal was dependent on position on site.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely place, lovely people, clean looked after facilities. On my list to go back to. Majority of pitches you'll need levelling ramps if in campervan.

Overall gd Campsite!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Space allowed, pitch nice, own water supply. WiFi ok. Close walk to beach. Gd facilities.
Disliked Couldn't find recycling bin in bin section. A little noisy but was OK. Understand its a family Campsite.

From the manager: Thank you for your recent visit
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us
Unfortunately we are experiencing some issues with the WIFI on site but our engineers are working on the issue.
Our current waste management contractors ( Biffa ) who collect the waste recycle at their processing depot so there is currently no need to provide recycling bins on site..
We appreciate your feedback

Fantastic, clean, friendly and wonderful campsite, highly recommend!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Fantastic, beautifully clean campsite with a lovely chilled, family vibe.
Taps on each pitch so you don’t have to walk miles to get water, beautiful well kept pitches and clean toilet and shower facilities.
All staff were friendly and welcoming, we literally can’t praise this place enough it was wonderful and we will definitely be back!
Also less than 5 minutes from the beach, perfect!
Disliked Unfortunately, as with all campsites, the showers were crap.
Ate my money so had to keep popping in and out to put the change in then stopped accepting my change so I was stood there with a head full of conditioner.
Managed to get a different cubicle to work but gave up after my hair was clean and shaved my legs back at the tent. Rubbish pressure and can’t stand underneath it or will have no water.
Literally the only bad thing!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Area
Disliked All toilets and showers were locked other than main ones,showers had an additional cost to use them,long stay people on site with lots of noisy dogs,some seemed like travellers
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your recent visit
At Chycarne we have three shower and toilet blocks all situated within a 1 minute walk of each. As advertised during low season Only the main block is open.
The additional small charge for the showers ( 10p per minute ) is reflected in our tariff. £17.00 for two adults per night is very reasonable.
Your comments regarding long stay people is totally unfounded. We have a number of seasonal pitches that are occupied like most camp sites and are far from being referred to as travellers.
Chycarne is a dog friendly campsite.
Given your scoring that certainly appears misguided and untrue and is not reflective of the actual campsite and its facilities The vast majority of visitors find Chycarne a great place to visit and enjoy their stay
