A campsite beyond compare
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked We have came to camping late in life and therefor a bit fussy about where to camp. This was only our third venture and we could not have chosen a more satisfying site. We arrived early on Friday and we were given a pitch near to the pods. We noticed a vacant pitch closer to the beach and asked if we could move. The staff could not have been more helpful and came over just to ensure that we were happy. The site and toilet/shower facilities were spotless. A warden came around the site after 10pm to ensure guests were safe and kept noise to a minimum. We have already planned our next visit and very much looking forward to it.
Disliked Coming home
A lovely site
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Location was lovely with good space on the pitch, not too big and mainly quiet. Staff are friendly and helpful and this site seems to attract kind and considerate campers. The views are great too.
Disliked Showers and toilets a bit tired, some confusion over pitches which may be put right by either accompaniment of staff to pitch initially or clearer bay markings.
Not very impressed

Disliked The toilets and shower rooms are outdated
Not well maintained and in some areas, the fabric is dirty and water damaged.
Men’s shower area was water flooded and needed some attention.
