What customers say
This peaceful, spacious campsite offers beautiful rural and distant sea views, with the unique addition of a passing steam train. Guests consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and welcoming hosts, and the immaculate cleanliness of the compost toilets and shower facilities, which did not experience queues despite limited numbers. Many appreciated the freedom to choose their pitch. While some found the site very basic, the idyllic setting, tranquil atmosphere, and proximity to local attractions and beaches were highly valued. A few minor suggestions were made regarding signage and information.
