What customers say
This campsite is just steps from the beach with amazing views and convenient access. Staff are generally friendly. Facilities, like washrooms, need updating and can be a bit grubby, but efforts are appreciated. Families love the pool and amenities. Some found it busy, pricey, and noisy at times.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite (no pets)
Liked Wonderful location for the beach and local walks. Facilities were clean and well maintained. One toilet and shower block was much newer and better than the older one.
Disliked Could have done with a mop in the showers to clean the floor after use.

Great place to stay but very much for families not for older couples.

Great campsite overall with a few frustrating and concerning moments
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (no pets)
Liked the campsite is in a brilliant location, really close to the beach which made everything easy. The pitch was a nice size, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There are also plenty of facilities on site, which made things really convenient, and the atmosphere was lovely — lots of friendly people around which added to the overall experience.
Disliked we rented surfboards as complete beginners, and this is where things felt quite unsafe. I was given an 8ft board despite being a smaller person, and the sea conditions were quite rough and choppy. When we came back early, we were told “it wasn’t the day for it” — which is exactly the kind of information that should have been shared before we went out, not after.
It was frustrating because it felt like the staff were aware the conditions weren’t suitable for beginners but still allowed us to go ahead anyway. As first-timers, we rely on that guidance for safety, and it left us feeling that the decision may have been more money-driven than safety-focused. A more independent surf shop would likely have been more honest and advised against going out in those conditions.
We also had a small issue in the evening where we were told we couldn’t buy bingo tickets quite firmly. because it was too late, but then just a few minutes later an announcement said tickets were still available. By that point we’d already been put off by being told no earlier, which was a bit frustrating.
Overall, a lovely, clean site in a great spot, but better communication and more responsibility around safety would really improve the experience.
