Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: First time camping with the family, And would 100% return to southerness, nice clean wc and showers, great location, large holiday park, kids had fun 😁
Disliked: Cutting grass on the camp site very early, states no electric scooters etc! As soon as we arrived seen loafs flying round the park, kids gutted as they didn't bring there's, Booking into swimming was fully booked 1 week before arrival so kids had no chance!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Good site with a broad range of facilities and good VFM. Nice pub in the village and great access to walks on the beach
Disliked: Very family oriented so not the best fit for us eg strange that we were given the pitch nearest the playground as would have been better for those with kids
