What customers say
Site's a ripper for being tidy, quiet and well-kept. Check-in's a breeze, even late. Showers are spick and span, though a bit old. Dog-friendly with great walks. Some had comms issues, a bit pricey for pets, and patchy WiFi/food.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews

Lovely place to stay
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Pleasant staff, very clean toilet and shower block. Location is very good.
Disliked Mine was the only tent there at the time, like everywhere else people have dogs to walk, unfortunately a few residents allowed their dogs to use the camping area as a toilet. The owners did clean up the poo but they must be aware that children play in this area.
I am a dog lover having had two over 30 years.

Good for one overnight.
Powered gravel caravan site
Liked Nice park and dog walking area on the golf course. We stayed here for 3 nights. Visited the beach and took a walk to east haven.
Disliked The shower cabins, at least the ones for ladies, are very much in need of restoration.
