From the manager: Thank you for your review, we presume that you mean wet, which is quite normal for October. As this was the first time for you in a camper, we are sure, given time and practice, you will get better at going onto your ramps without skidding and marking the ground. Everyone else in vans during your one night stay were fine. Chris and Tracey

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The position and setting of the campsite is lovely. The pitches are large and facilities just what you need. We walked down the green lane to the village, the beach, coastal path and pub, which took about 30 minutes, so we could leave the van at the campsite. The staff were very friendly

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: I was on my own with my campervan. This place is the walkers paradise!! I had a lovely time, it was exactly what I looking for - a quiet place, the nature and facilities for a shower! The ocation is great to those who are not afraid of walking! The Donkey Sanctuary is 25 minutes walk from.the campsite. Branscombe is 45 minutes walk and, the nearest pub, the fountain head is 15 minutes walk.
Disliked: Nothing!!

Electric grass pitch
Liked: The whole site was immaculate, grass mown, and fairly level. I liked that there were two âbathroomsâ with shower, sink, loo all in your own space with lots of space in them - im not sure how this would work if the site was very busy though, although there was another block of facilities too. Easy friendly and helpful people, not too far off the main road for larger vehicles, which would be tricky down into the village. Good base to drive to other places from.
Disliked: Not walkable in the evening to any pub without a pretty narrow dark road, a good mile away too so not really a great option. Wi-Fi is terrible!
