Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely campsite with beautiful surroundings! Great walks around the bay and forest paths with our 2 dogs and friendly staff in the cafe who also welcomed our dogs! So peaceful and lovely to see the deer and the rabbits playing around the site. 😊

Great, welcoming site but wifi sign-up issues are a major problem.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Friendly welcome and helpful staff, very well maintained site, good walks and beach options, restaurant/bar and shop on site.
Disliked Restaurant / bar meal options unimaginative, boring and overcooked. WiFi impossible to get working (pay system routinely fails); with virtually no phone signal this is a major issue that will prevent me from returning. Bathroom and showers would be much cleaner if a shoe locker was provided so that grass and mud wasn’t trodden inside. Kept awake by a bunch of stupid drunks in a nearby pitch.

Overall I would stay again. Good site with good facilities.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Our first visit to this site and we weren’t disappointed. Lovely big site with good sized tent pitches. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Shower/Toilet block was clean and showers were warm. The restaurant food was perfectly fine, typical pub grub, served in a good time and was hot, staff were lovely. We didn’t use the shop so can’t comment on that but looked well stocked.
Disliked Some campers were still being quite loud up to 11.30pm. Us oldies go to bed quite early.

Liked The location of this site was perfect for us, and lots of room at the pitch. The showers and loos were also very good, and a club onsite so we could walk for a drink and food if needed. The staff were super friendly too, lovely, will stay here again, stunning location.

Overall the Campsite is okay but be very reluctant to go again due to
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (TV aerial)
Liked The Site Was Okay Very Clean .Showers and toilets was spotless.
If taking a boat it has a great concrete slipway into the sea.
The Staff seemed pleasant enough
Shop was well stocked out but expensive as to be expected
The Sea is very clear and blue with lovely views
Disliked We Stayed on the tv pitch hard standing which the grass at the side of the van was very soft and mushy at the time.
The TV Sockets Don't Work and we paid extra for this convenience.
The Main shower blocks was closed when not busy so had to use the small ones at the rear.Alot of Caravaning and Tenters wasn't happy about this.
The club/Pub was at the other end of the park quite a walk to get to and poorly sign posted and NO entertainment on at all.
The pool is £5.50 per/person when available to use.
Not the parks faulty but the road to Brighouse bay is terrible and full of potholes and if towing or driving a larger vehicle can be abit of and issue as the road is also narrow in places for passing other vehicles.
