What customers say
Great campsite with awesome sea views & beach access (steep steps!). Staff are super friendly, facilities are spotless & food's a winner. Pitches are usually big, though some are sloped. Kids will love the entertainment, plus there's a huge dog field. Mostly fab reviews, but a bit of road noise & a trek to facilities from some spots were noted.

Great site, very clean facilities
Unpowered grass tent or campervan site (sea view, sloping)
Liked Fantastic site, great facilities, food and amazing hot showers. Staff were friendly and helpful
Disliked Walk to the shower from the top camping field which was next to the entrance.
In the evening when people were sat having a drink and food, it was a little embarrassing going for a shower. Maybe a back entry to the shower block could
Be an idea?

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site (sea view, sloping)
Liked Absolutely everything. We had a spontaneous one night stay and we couldn't believe our luck on the open field at the very top. With ocean views! We will most definitely be back this summer! Thank you so much.
We loved all the facilities, the site was clean. The shop was reasonably priced, lots for children to do onsite. Last night was Mexican food night which looked delicious! We had already eaten but the food and bar van was thriving. Lovely to see!
Disliked Nothing!

Amazing! Will be back
Unpowered grass site
Liked We had the best stay at watermouth, I was really worried as we were travelling with 4 young children but this has been the most child friendly site we have ever stayed at! The shop on site was brilliant, the bar and takeaway food was great and the amount of things for the children to do on site was just amazing.
The entire site was so well looked after and everyone was so helpful and friendly. We had the most amazing view.
We intend to come back next year now.
The site was also so dog friendly and the field to let dogs off was such a great touch.
Thank you for the most brilliant holiday.
Disliked Only downside was WiFi was a bit sketchy but that really wasn’t an issue as there was so much to do.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site (sea view, sloping)
Liked Lovely staff, lovely area, great for the kids
Disliked Not enough showers for the amount of people that stay there. No matter what time of day you go you have to wait to use the facilities. Also, all facilities are at a bottom of a large hill so unfortunately have to struggle walking up and down that hill all day.

From the manager: Thank you, and we are glad the kids enjoyed it.
Baffles me that people are mad enough to queue for one block when there are two other empty ones within a minutes walk in the Valley.
The opening of the toilet block in the Ocean View field (you must have just missed this) will hopefully help with the struggle.
Our third visit - we will return
Unpowered grass site
Liked Brilliant campsite for children. Play park good and plenty of space to run around. Clean facilities and good choice of food at the take out.
