What customers say
Great spot near coastal towns. Staff are friendly & helpful, pub is excellent with good food/entertainment. Pitches spacious & well-equipped. Facilities clean, though toilet/shower blocks are dated. Occasional railway noise noted.

would not go again and would not recommend.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked location near to all of the coastal towns.
Disliked cigarette butts all around the tent pitch up area, the grass had them everywhere.
campers doing that are disgusting.
the site had not made any attempt to remove / clear up.
lots of litter also (no effort to clear up over the course of a week).
shower room in need of complete replacing. everything about is was either old, worn, broken and dirty. units, walls, vents, floor.
the name gives it away, you are directly next to a busy railway line that runs from very early and late in the night.

Lovely location, just a little extra work to be done.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice pub on site, with some lovely walks straight from the door. Very handy for a brewery I wanted to visit in walking distance. Toilets and showers were clean and kept clean. Nice private pitch which we were just allocated on arrival.
Disliked Not really the sites fault, but as usual a very few lazy dog owners allowing their dogs to do their business on other people's pitches especially when there was numerous signs telling you to keep your dog on it's leash at all times.
Only other negative was that there was never any loo roll in the toilets during the entire visit, just as well we had encountered this before so always carry some with us just in case!

Okay for a night.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The site was well located. There is also plenty of space to set up camp with a picnic bench for each pitch.
Disliked The site itself seemed very dated and a bit run down. The playground was not in a good shape and my 8 year old even refused to play in it saying it felt unsafe. The showers were nice and warm, but the drains occasionally clogged.
We were not given any details about the site when we arrived and had to ask other campers for the codes for the toilet blocks.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Easy access to A1 and surrounding area. Great spot for loads of great days out. Pitch was plenty big enough, picnic bench at pitch. Water point on pitch.
Disliked The kids play park is unsafe, screws coming through the bottom of the slide. Swings are not fixed in the ground properly so slightly unsafe. The male shower trays were blocked which meant you ended up submerged in filth coming back up the drain. Although we had a great time on our days out and the site served a purpose, it certainly wasn’t worth £40 per night.
