What customers say
This is a welcoming, relaxed, and friendly campsite with stunning views, praised for its value and cleanliness. Many enjoyed the spacious pitches and proximity to the beach. Basic but clean toilet and shower facilities are available, though showers require payment. The adjacent train line is noted, with some finding it noisy while others enjoy it. Dogs are welcome.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The site is lovely and small. Not busy when I stayed they have a toilet block and showers as well as a small washing up area.yes there's a train track next to the site but honestly after the first few you drown them out and they are every half hour any way so it's not a busy line

Traditional basic site that suits long established campervaners.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Relaxed atmosphere. Just find a space and settle in. Very basic, but that's how we like it. Short hop to the beach. Reasonable price by current standards.

Acceptable but we won’t come back in there
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The owner is friendly, explained everything when we arrived, wasn’t hard to find this camping place, massive usable area
Disliked The unusual thing was that there was only one shower for each gender, and it cost 20p per minute🤯 needed to stand in the queue for a long time. It would also be good to know that the campsite is located very close to the railway tracks, and trains run there on average every 20 minutes - even at night.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The site manager was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, gave some good advice about walking to town, it is a bit of a walk but you could get a bus if you didn’t want the walk along the beach!
Toilets were basic but regularly cleaned so great, shower again basic but was hot and clean!
Site was gorgeous, excellent views!
Really enjoyed my stay here, felt safe on my own, would recommend!

Great value, excellent location and friendly staff
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Fantastic campsite and in my opinion the best value for money site I've ever stayed at.
The site is a generous wide open field that you can freely pick a spot on, and with the limit of 30 vehicles (I am told) it's very spacious. You can easily find a spot 10m+ away from others if you wish. It was fine for me to get my tent out as well despite having brought my van which was unexpected but appreciated.
There is a train track by the site but it only runs til about 10/11 or so; it didn't interrupt sleep for me. Also a road bordering but again it wasn't particularly busy.
Views are astonishing, on either side there are rolling hills and you can see Snowdonia mountains in the far distance. I did not visit but there is a beach which I hear is very nice about 5 mins walk away. There are also cattle in the field opposite which I quite liked watching.
Facilities are basic but good, very clean and has everything you need inc. blackwater disposal, waste bins, and washing facilities.
There were a lot of kids here playing and riding on bikes, may not be for everyone but I enjoyed the atmosphere it created. Definitely seems to be very child friendly.
Martin and Kathy were both very accomodating and friendly, happy to chat and help with anything I needed.
No WiFi here but good 4g signal so not needed for me.
Disliked Agreed with others saying there could be more showers, I didn't run into issues but I could see it happening. Martin says they plan to double the number of showers in the near future.
Train might be bothersome to some but I enjoyed it.
I had food so this didn't affect me but the nearest shops are a little while away if you walk, just bear that in mind.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. A little slice of heaven. Facilities are top notch. Small walk to one of the best beaches I’ve been to and I’ve travelled abroad a lot. Martin is helpful, kind and is always checking in with people to make sure they are having a good time. You can tell this site is about people having a good time and not just all about the money. Already booked our next one and always thinking about the one after that!
