What customers say
This campsite offers a superb location, a short walk from a beautiful beach, with spacious and well-maintained pitches. Guests appreciated the friendly staff, clean facilities, and the heated outdoor pool with slides. However, some visitors experienced issues with the cleanliness and modernity of shower and toilet blocks, limited loungers by the pool, and unreliable WiFi and mobile signal. The on-site shop and food service also received mixed feedback regarding organisation and availability.

Amazing location . Could be improved .
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Park dean . You know what you are getting . Location is great and Holywell bay is a very short walk and a must if you go here . Slide was great and we all had fun, there was pool toys they have there as well that the kids loved. Lifeguards were very friendly . Walks around the area are lovely too . WiFi was very poor and almost non existent at the touring area .
Disliked No showers at the swimming pool . Kids had to walk back very cold . Wrapped in towels . Showers and block were also dated and paint peeling ect that make it look dirtier than it is . Swimming pool opening times , 9-12.30 and then 2-4.15. Couldn’t always walk in - ideal to book but then it takes the spontaneity out of the holiday . Would have had music. Could have had music round the pool for atmosphere .

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Short walk to the beach - Sunset amazing
Camping pitches are nice and big.
Pool on site was clean.
Lovely small site
Disliked Pool - not enough loungers
Scoops - unorganised, poor young girl working there had half of items missing and took 1 hour to be served with only three people waiting in front of us! Dread to think what summer time will be like.
Paid for WiFi - don't bother that has zero signal too......no WiFi or phone signal, used site phone to contact someone...phone was off, so pretty pointless and thank god no emergency was occurring

From the manager: Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Natalie. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the spacious pitches, clean pool, lovely sunsets and our location close to the beach.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the pool loungers, Scoops and the WiFi/mobile signal. We’re sorry your experience at Scoops was frustrating, especially with the long wait time, and we’ll be reviewing staffing and stock management with the team to help improve service during busier periods.
We also understand your concerns regarding connectivity and the emergency phone, and we’ll be looking into this as a priority to ensure guests can access assistance when needed.
Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us continue improving, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. ^EC

Prisvärd camping nära havet
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Trevlig camping nära havet, gångavstånd. Bussförbindelse också nära, ca.700 m
Duschar med bra tryck och sist men inte minst trevlig personal i receptionen. Väldigt serviceinriktade.
Disliked Bussarna gick inte tätt på kvällen och på campingen var belysningen dålig när mörkret hade fallit.
