What customers say
This well-maintained campsite boasts stunning sea views and direct access to a beautiful beach via steep steps. Visitors praise the friendly, helpful staff, clean facilities, and excellent on-site food options. Pitches are generally spacious, though some are sloped. Plenty of entertainment for children is available, alongside a large dog-walking field. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some mention occasional road noise and the distance to facilities from higher pitches.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view, sloping)
Liked Fantastic site, great facilities, food and amazing hot showers. Staff were friendly and helpful
Disliked Walk to the shower from the top camping field which was next to the entrance.
In the evening when people were sat having a drink and food, it was a little embarrassing going for a shower. Maybe a back entry to the shower block could
Be an idea?

Highly recommend! 10/10!
Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view, sloping)
Liked Absolutely everything. We had a spontaneous one night stay and we couldn't believe our luck on the open field at the very top. With ocean views! We will most definitely be back this summer! Thank you so much.
We loved all the facilities, the site was clean. The shop was reasonably priced, lots for children to do onsite. Last night was Mexican food night which looked delicious! We had already eaten but the food and bar van was thriving. Lovely to see!
Disliked Nothing!

Amazing! Will be back
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We had the best stay at watermouth, I was really worried as we were travelling with 4 young children but this has been the most child friendly site we have ever stayed at! The shop on site was brilliant, the bar and takeaway food was great and the amount of things for the children to do on site was just amazing.
The entire site was so well looked after and everyone was so helpful and friendly. We had the most amazing view.
We intend to come back next year now.
The site was also so dog friendly and the field to let dogs off was such a great touch.
Thank you for the most brilliant holiday.
Disliked Only downside was WiFi was a bit sketchy but that really wasn’t an issue as there was so much to do.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view, sloping)
Liked Lovely staff, lovely area, great for the kids
Disliked Not enough showers for the amount of people that stay there. No matter what time of day you go you have to wait to use the facilities. Also, all facilities are at a bottom of a large hill so unfortunately have to struggle walking up and down that hill all day.

From the manager: Thank you, and we are glad the kids enjoyed it.
Baffles me that people are mad enough to queue for one block when there are two other empty ones within a minutes walk in the Valley.
The opening of the toilet block in the Ocean View field (you must have just missed this) will hopefully help with the struggle.
