What customers say
Great spot! Spacious pitches, spotless facilities (hot showers!), dog run, awesome views & coast access. Friendly owners a big plus. Watch out for hard ground (need rock pegs!), narrow lanes & queues at busy times.

Amazing site lovely views
Powered grass site
Liked Location is great. Facilities are good though at peak times you can wait for the toilet, lovely dog field love having the ball flingers by the gate for people to use. Pizza on site on a friday night is a great addition! Watching the light aircraft coming in is definitely a highlight. Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family.
Disliked We started with a large pitch which suited us as we had a car and a camper so we set our table and chairs between the two. After going exploring on Saturday came back to find another camper parked along side us even though we were on the only pitch there (pitches were numbered we were on 10 next door was 9 and 11). Not really an issue so much as made us sitting out with our dog on her long lead awkward and felt overlooked. Even eating dinner outside felt like we were being watched.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, It sounds like a camper decided they liked your pitch and popped themselves in it, we just wished you had told us when you came back into it and we could have moved them

It's okay for a weekend.
Powered grass site
Liked The calmness of the site, very chilled and we loved watching the planes land.
Disliked Didn't feel particularly child friendly, park isn't great. Also the family shower rooms were really hard to make use of because they were being used by lone adults which would have been fine if all the other showers were taken but they weren't. Could do with more toilets for the size of the site.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Its a shame you will not be coming back, as many families enjoy repeated stays with us. Its true the children's park is not large but we are not a commercial site that's why people come back to us and most of the families that come here encourage children to make friends or play games.

A very lovely campsite with a friendly welcome; we only stopped over for a day, but the setting is peaceful and quiet.
Perfect sote
Powered grass site
Liked Chris and Tracey were amazing worked so hard keeping the whole site spick and span .
Dog walking field is brilliant with supplied throwers and balls ,
When an aircraft comes in to land it is a joy to watch
The walks to the cliff top to branscombe village and even beer if your feeling adventurous are brilliant ,
But also the views and tranquility of the site makes it perfect
Disliked Nothing it comes to an end and we had to leave
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review it means a lot to us
