What customers say
This is a very popular, large campsite with direct beach access, praised for its excellent facilities, including swimming pools, and great entertainment, especially for families. Many visitors highlight the friendly, helpful staff and the overall cleanliness of the site and pitches. While generally highly recommended, some guests found the site to be overcrowded, pitches to be close together, and noted issues with WiFi and the booking system for some activities. A few also mentioned the toilets and showers could benefit from modernisation.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Absolutely great place, great staff to, we will be staying again.
Electric grass pitch
Liked We enjoyed the facilities they had a great selection to do, pools, bowling and great evening entertainment, the beach and surrounding areas are beautiful.
Security provided a good presence so felt very safe.
Disliked We found the sea gulls a bit of a pain but nothing could be done about them, we had to keep our tent zipped up! Learnt the hard way, found the WiFi to be extremely slow but we managed to get 5G signal so not a real problem.

Locatio. Showers good and toilets clean.…
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Locatio. Showers good and toilets clean.
Disliked Jam packed site. Pitches are a good size but packed in so much with just a thin road between you and the pitch opposite making it difficult to manouver a caravan onto pitch. Stone gravel also means it is a difficult job with motor movers and jockey wheel being dragged along. Toilets are quite far from pitches. Not enough staff... an hours wait for food each night, 15mins to get served. Mixed reviews on staff, most seemed rushed and short of patience which meant customer service was a little off centre. Not the worst but probably wouldn't go back.

Good site, generous pitch size, lovely on site restaurant
Top field electric grass pitch
Liked The site facilities were clean and the pitches were a good size. pools were great. We enjoyed the food in the on site restaurant too and the portions were generous
Disliked The barrier to get into the campsite did not work for us, apparently this was because of our number plate being reflective? This meant we had to go to reception every time we came back to the site to be let in. This was not great especially with a queue of people trying to get in behind us and not being able to move. This definitely needs looking into and barriers updating!

Huge site, mixed touring & static vans, clean & tidy. Will visit again
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Very clean facilities, plenty of rubbish bins and chemical loo points. Pitches well marked out. Bar and restaurant available. During the week it was nice and quiet, noisy and crowded at weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to extend our leaving time. The site, although huge, was kept very clean and tidy. Private beach and cliff walks and plenty of entertainment available especially for children.
Disliked Proximity to neighbours. Site was very large. No independent pubs/restaurants within safe walking distance (lack of footpaths) outside the park.
