What customers say
Great, well-kept campsite with friendly staff. Spacious, clean sites, and fantastic family facilities like a pool and playgrounds. Close to the beach. Some say showers are a bit old and food options are limited, but most guests love it and want to come back.

Liked Amazing for children, lots to do and safe to let them bike around the site.
Nice swimming pool for them to enjoy if you can get a turn to go.
Disliked The campsite need to improve cleaning, we have been several times over the last few years and the cleanliness this time really let them down!
Multiple occasions toilets out of use, toilet seats broken and chucked on the floor, toilets without tissue, this morning down to two toilets because a lovely guest decided to cover the floor and tissue holder with vomit. Showers left dirty. Washing up area often left with full sinks and let over food on the sides.
Swimming for the kids was a big let down, I fully understand the pool has a capacity of 30, but it’s school holidays and the camp was full of kids. To be told we couldn’t go in and had to wait for people to leave when people were spending all morning there sunbathing on the sunbeds and not using the pool, when outside were kids waiting and returning back to tents upset because they couldn’t swim as people were being selfish and not swimming and not letting other people have a turn. When we come before we booked slots. I feel this works better as it’s monitored, you have a fair system that everyone who wants to attend can attend instead of your capacity being used by people being selfish and just using the area to sunbathe and eat by the pool.
I know the site is under new management and it feels a lot of attention has been put on to selling caravans, I think you need to go back to basics and up your cleaning standards. This is really letting you down.

It's a shame as this used to be a lovely site.

Disliked The toilets and showers were not cleaned adequately. Pool heating was not working and the new owners have shut the site shop and restaurant without warning. Camping guests were also asked to leave the pool and hour before closing to allow "owners" exclusive use...

Liked Clean site and big spaces. Location was perfect and was a lovely walk to the beach
Disliked Turned up with no record of booking however the lady in reception was very helpful but left wondering whether I had over paid as used this site to book.
The restaurant was shut the days we were there. There was no notice of this anywhere online for the opening times which I think is very bad for the price of the pitch.
Also the card machine wasn’t working and cash only. Again could have been pre warned of this.
Also paid twice for the WiFi as said first payment didn’t work but clearly did.

Liked Liked the site very much, it was quite diverse with a club, fishing, play area, good ablutions and was very clean and neat.
Staff were very friendly and we were met at reception by efficient staff. The club was just right for the setting and very welcoming.
Disliked Only issue was we arrived before season and they were busy cutting the grass etc, which was quite noisy during the day time but was understood as to why
