What customers say
A small, friendly, natural campsite with big, basic pitches near the beach and a pub. Clean hot showers, communal fridge, charging spots. Bit patchy on phone/WiFi. Peaceful, well-kept, but toilets are rustic. Free-range chickens and cats are a hit!

This is a quite campsite with all the amenities you need.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site (pet friendly)
Liked Beautiful quite setting, large pitches,
Chickens running around so cute
Toilets, wash facilities water etc close by.
The beach is walking distance and an absolute stunning beach.
Flat pitches
Disliked Wouldn’t say disliked just felt like the fridges could do with abit of a clean.
The entrance/exit could maybe do with a mirror to see if there is anything coming as it was quite scary coming out onto the main road.
These point would certainly not put us off coming here again though.
