What customers say
Blackbury Campsite offers a peaceful rural escape with beautiful views and ample space, particularly for children. Facilities are frequently praised for being exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with new eco-friendly compost toilets and washing-up areas. While the location is convenient for exploring nearby towns and beaches, some visitors noted a lack of mobile data signal. A recurring point is the limited number of showers and occasional issues with hot water pressure and availability, especially during busier periods.

Would recommend for great location near beer
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great location. Clean facilities and lots of space. Clean facilities and a hot shower.
Disliked Nothing really. There is only 1 shower but was never an issue for us and we holidayed there in August and there was always plenty of vacant facilities.

An enjoyable, relaxing stay.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This was our first time camping at this site. It was very spacious and had a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The toilets, shower, and sink areas were cleaned twice a day Overall lovely campsite ,which we will return to.
Disliked The only small problem, was with the shower. Trying to put you clothes on without getting them wet as the water sits on the floor. A window squeegee would be agood, so access water can be moved away.

Great place, laid back, quiet.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Everything, quiet, laid back, small playground for the kids, clean facilities, nice surroundings.
Disliked Nothing, it was great, if I was going to be very picky I'd say that it could possibly do with another shower as one might struggle if it was busy, but again, that's just me being picky.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Had the whole area to ourselves. Perfectly peaceful and couldn't have asked for a better wild camp experience.
Amenities were very clean and was perfectly functional fir our stay.
Disliked Nothing really. Only slight thing was the sound of a bin being emptied in the morning on the main road but if we were camped away from the road a bit i doubt we would of heard it

Beautiful
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Absolutely everything!!
Very quiet, pretty views and just a piece of calm!
The eco loos were probably the best I have ever experienced!
Shower great.
Easy to get out to the coast, but lovely walks from campsite.
Disliked The only slight niggle was not the campsite but trying to drive out when all the traffic came along for the hill climb! It would have been useful if the hill climb stewards could direct traffic.
