Central location for exploring surrounding area.…
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Central location for exploring surrounding area. Toilets and dishwasher area kept clean. Got option to pick own pitch. A lot of pitches used for seasonal use so meant site was quiet when were there. Pub on site. Would visit again only for a short stay.
Disliked Toilet block could do with an upgrade. Door locks to cubicles a bit dodgy . Didnt always lock. 2 showers in female toilets. Not enough if site is busy. Some pitches seemed a bit too close together. Pub didn't do food.

Lovely place to stay
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Pleasant staff, very clean toilet and shower block. Location is very good.
Disliked Mine was the only tent there at the time, like everywhere else people have dogs to walk, unfortunately a few residents allowed their dogs to use the camping area as a toilet. The owners did clean up the poo but they must be aware that children play in this area.
I am a dog lover having had two over 30 years.

Good for one overnight.
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Nice park and dog walking area on the golf course. We stayed here for 3 nights. Visited the beach and took a walk to east haven.
Disliked The shower cabins, at least the ones for ladies, are very much in need of restoration.
