Great location for a short break — 1 day hiking, 1 day at beach
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Really easy to deal with (just arrive and go to your pitch). On site washing and toilet facilities were great. Site is nice and compact.
Disliked Would be great if there was a bit more rec space, but if you just want to get the tent up, and chill out it's great!

Simple booking process & good facilities!
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Excellent location for exploring!
All information was sent in advance via email & text message!
Pitch was clean, nearly level & a decent size.
We only needed a location to stop in our campervan & didn’t even require EHU.

Beautiful site, helpful staff and family friendly.
Electric optional grass tent pitch (small, two person)
Liked The views are beautiful, day or night. We were blessed with a pitch on the slope overlooking the site.
It's a peaceful site, everyone was respectful and the noise stopped at 11pm each night.
There is pavement to walk on to avoid you getting muddy in the wet weather.
The showers are basic but clean and good water pressure.
The site is close to a petrol garage and Starbucks.
The local pubs are beautiful and the food was 10/10.
The site is clean, zero litter and the staff were so helpful.
Reasonable priced!
There's no artificial lighting so bring a torch.
Disliked The only downside is if you get a pitch high up the ground has alot of hard slate which does make getting your pegs into the ground harder work.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Helpful staff (I had to email about a change to my booking a couple of days before my arrival) the toilets/showers and facilities are always clean, lots of recycling, big pitch, free WiFi which actually works!
I stay here every year when I marshal at Redbull Hardline and I always have a great stay here, it’s good value for money
Disliked Noisy neighbours (loud music but they did turn it off by 10pm) dogs off lead wandering around and trying to get in my tent and van!

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked * Clean facilities

* Some good walks nearby
Disliked * quite a few noisy groups
* Pitches are all very uneven sizes. We were lucky, other campers less so.
