Liked: Lovely camp site with well spaced pitches. Plenty of land to walk the dogs and let them of the lead, the coastline and a pub are a five minute walk away. Walk a bit further down the coast and you get to Cudmore Grove Country Park which is also well worth a visit. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, the warden in particular was superb, helping us to fix our jockey wheel that came off upon arrival. The facilities are well maintained and provide everything you could need.

Liked: Great welcome, spacious pitches, and lots of facilities. Amazing cafe/farm shop 10 minute walk away The dog wash is an amazing feature, especailly after being at the beach as the salt water can make their skin very dry.
Disliked: Showers stay on for such a short time before you have to press the button again, would be good if this was longer so its easier to shower.
