What customers say
Fantastic spot, steps from beach and town! Friendly staff, roomy sites, and clean facilities (especially showers) get top marks. Families love the pool. Some older bits need refreshing, occasional noise, and tight spots in summer. Still, many want to come back!

Anonymous Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite (no pets)
Liked Nice pitch, great location for beach. Shortcut route into the village. Friendly camp reception lady
Disliked Shower block had no mirrors above the sinks. Noise from the crows, seagulls etc was unbearable in the early hours I think due to the big rubbish area.
Breakfast I had to wait an hour, due to late food delivery and a 'chef calling in sick'.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (no pets)
Liked Great location and facilities both around the site and for the camping area. Clean and modern shower area/washing up area.
Disliked We hoped this would be family friendly however we were placed very close to a large mixed group of teenagers. These were very noisy until 1am when we had to get up to ask them to be quiet. Fortunately they left after one night. We were likely unlucky, but feel that reception staff could have been more sensitive in where we were located, as the campsite was mostly empty being off peak and midweek. It wasn’t obvious at the time of setting up that the group of tents belonged to a group of teenagers as they weren’t there at the time, if we’d known we would have asked to move before setting up.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (no pets)
Liked The swimming pool and facilities were fantastic! The fact you don’t pay extra for the pool is incredible. There were ample bathrooms and showers, and they were so clean, they seemed like new, even when it got busy. The lady cleaning them was also really friendly. They even have underfloor heating which was a massive bonus! There was a shop filled with lots of conveniences, and a laundrette on site, which we’ve never thought we needed before but with 3 boys and a very wet weather week, it was so useful. Great distance to the beach - an easy walk even with young children. No more than 5 minutes!
Disliked Pitches are incredibly cramped and you’re really squashed in with everybody on top of one another. The fish and chip shop on site was so expensive, portions were tiny, and just generally not nice to eat, so soggy and disappointing. The children’s playground should be condemned 🙈 it was really dangerous, not enough bark chip anywhere, concrete exposed at the bottom of the slide, wobbly fencing at the top of an extremely high tower.
