What customers say
This is a highly recommended, well-maintained site with spectacular views and excellent coastal walks directly accessible. Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally clean and modern facilities, particularly the showers, and the friendly, helpful staff. Pitches are generally spacious and well-kept, with many enjoying sea views. While the location is peaceful, some note a lack of on-site amenities like a shop. A few minor points include occasional Wi-Fi issues and some pitches being less level.
