What customers say
Spectacular views & top spot near beach/shops. Owner's a legend, super friendly. Facilities basic but clean, just needs more loos/showers. Chill vibes, heaps of space. Good for a simple escape. Some found showers a bit dodgy & signage could be clearer.

Liked Gorgeous gorgeous views 😍
Great campsite near the beach, a little shop and chip van. Nice friendly owner who gave lots of information on nearby attractions.
Disliked Only 1 shower and 2 toilets! Over 25 tents pitched when we stayed and the facilities do not match the number of people using them. They were unkempt due to the level of people using them.
More showers needed!
Also the Shepard's hut could do with more sinks and hot water.
This is something that could be easily rectified as it's such a beautiful site.

Great site with clean facilities and decent ground 👌

Liked Great little campsite! I brought my girlfriend here for her first camping trip, and she absolutely loved it—we’re actually heading back again this weekend 😊. The toilets were clean, and there’s a shop just five minutes from the site. The beach is about the same distance, and if you need to pop into town, Kilkeel and Asda aren’t far either. The views are amazing—ocean on one side and mountains on the other. Just a tip: bring a mallet, as the ground can be pretty hard 😂.
