What customers say
This well-maintained campsite offers a peaceful stay with excellent, spotlessly clean facilities, including modern shower blocks with enjoyable touches like music. Visitors praise the stunning sea views, spacious pitches, and the friendly, helpful owners. Its location is ideal for exploring the coast path and local attractions. Some guests noted the access lanes can be narrow, and a few mentioned minor issues with charging points or occasional noise from other campers, but overall, the site is highly recommended for its value and relaxed atmosphere.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Toilet block with music was a brilliant idea. It was very spacious, not crowded, and offered a lovely view of the meadow and Atlantic site. It was also very peaceful.
Disliked I think there was a sign about the water pressure at the main toilet block, but it probably needs to be looked at. 🔧👨🔧

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review of your stay with us this month and I'm glad you all enjoyed it.
I'm afraid that during May half term when we are full, everyone is using the facilities at the same time which affects the pressure, but we will look at it again to see if there is anything we can do other than reducing our number of pitches during busy times.
We would love to welcome you back again when in the area.

Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Nice layout, flat pitch for the tent and plenty of space. Great fire pit rental system and coffee and jacket potato hut on site was a nice touch as well. Amazing views and sunset over Lundy island was beautiful
Disliked The water pressure in the shower was poor but overall the facilities were clean and well maintained . Children playing outside the tents wasn’t appreciated since there was a designated kids play area a short distance away.

From the manager: That you for a lovely review of your stay with us. I'm sorry you felt the water pressure was poor, unfortunately this happens at times when we are full and everyone is using the facilities to draw water at the same time.
I'm afraid the designated play area isn't always the right place for children to play especially when the play area is in a different field and parents aren't able to keep an eye on them. In this day and age I'm not sure that I would want any child out of sight on a campsite amongst strangers.
Id recommend and we will be back
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Amazing location close to the surf and amazing beaches the facilities themselves were top notch morning coffees and pastries if you cant be bothered to cook yourself great pizzas, plus yoga and gear hire on site.

From the manager: Thank you Nigel for the lovely review of your stay with us last weekend and the brilliant photos you shared. We hope to see you again sometime.
Our second visit, consistently a fantastic campsite!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Loved the views, big fields with lots of available spots. We have a nervous dog who reacts to sound but he heard none of the other campers as we were able to park far away from others. Lovely views of the sea, absolutely wonderful to wake up to. Really clean facilities and everywhere felt safe at all times. Coffee and tea available in the mornings, food truck comes by in the evening.

Great site near beaches
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked A really friendly campsite. Plenty of pitches. Clean toilet/showers. Showers hot and good power. Lovely food van visiting at weekends. Friendly staff. Great view of the sea in the distance from the higher fields.
Disliked The locks on the portacabin toilets are a bit difficult to lock/unlock.

From the manager: Thank you so much Cathryn for the lovely review of your stay with u and we'll have a look at the locks on the portacabins.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Washing facilities were good. Electric hook up is always a plus. Great service! Reasonably priced.
Disliked Was very exposed to the wind. I know it's close to the coast. Higher fencing or areas for shelter for tents. Not anywhere near public transport. Park swings and equipment needed cleaning.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for the review of your stay with us.
Unfortunately we can't control the direction of the wind.....you were against the hedge which would shelter you from the south westerly winds, which, as you can see from our tree at the entrance, is the predominant direction. I'm not sure the majority of our campers would welcome higher hedges as they welcome the beautiful view of the coastline. We are a 20 minute walk from public transport in Abbotsham. Sorry you felt our park needed cleaning, we'll get it sorted, but glad to hear you welcomed other parts of our campsite.
