What customers say
This small, peaceful campsite offers a natural, "back to basics" experience with spacious pitches. Guests praise the excellent location, a short walk from the beach and adjacent to a pub, as well as the clean, hot showers and communal fridge/freezer facilities. While some find the toilet facilities basic, most appreciate the laid-back atmosphere and wildlife. No mobile signal is common.
