Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely flat pitches with plenty of space. Friendly welcome and simple but clean amenities.
A bonus for me was the nearest beach/headland was a National Trust car park

We hope you will visit us again in the future.

Lovely quiet site with clean facilities and super friendly staff.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked We loved everything about this site. We had a friendly check-in at reception which was super easy. The pitch was well kept and the overall site appeared in good condition. The shower/toilet facilities felt modern and clean. It’s a lovely peaceful campsite in a great location and very affordable. Dog friendly too!
Disliked There was nothing I disliked about the site but maybe room for improvement could include having a laundry facility. There is also nothing on site for children so a small play area could help give them some entertainment.
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. It’s great that you loved everything about us. We welcome your suggestions for improvement and we have considered them in the past, but as we aim to keep the site as affordable as possible its not something we are planning to do at present due to the additional costs it would entail.
We do hope you will visit us again in the future.
