What customers say
This campsite, behind the Red Lion pub, has a friendly vibe, with staff often praised for being helpful. Guests rave about the pub's food and the location, great for seeing local sights. Pitches are usually level and roomy. Facilities are clean, though some say they're basic and could use an upgrade or more when busy. Road noise is a minor issue sometimes.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We had a great stay at the campsite, we were in a tent in quite cold weather but there was a nice shower and toilet block off the main pub building so we were able to warm up, plus good food and really friendly staff in the pub - would definitely recommend.

From the manager: Thank you for your review! We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and our friendly team. Hope to see you again soon.
Would I stay there again? Not sure, the pub is the attraction.
Powered gravel and sand travel trailer campsite
Liked Pitch was a large gravelled area, electric supply on pitch.
It’s in the grounds of a pub, so it was a short walk for a drink or food, staff in the pub were very friendly as was the site reception.
Disliked Close to Road so quite noisy, toilet block had one toilet and one shower out of order, note this half of this unit. They were very clean throughout our stay, but required maintenance, locks difficult to open, door difficult to close, just required some TLC.
One pitch was unusable due to flooding. We did have rather heavy rain at the start of our stay.
The chemical waste needed a hose for wash out purposes.

Handy spot for the coastline
Powered gravel and sand travel trailer campsite
Liked Convenient location to explore the area
Disliked Shower facilities were limited as there was an issue in 1 cabin plus the cabin and toilet were cold and not user friendly in the winter weather. Large flooded area meant getting wet legs even with boots on

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our convenient location.
We’re sorry to hear that the facilities weren't as you expected. It sounds like you may not have been aware of our second shower block, which is much more user-friendly during the autumn season, and that the pub toilets are also available to campers. We apologise that this wasn’t made clearer during your stay. We appreciate your comments and will use them to improve the guest experience.

Primitive cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Great location with easy access. Spacious level gravel pitch. The people in the pub were very friendly and there was great food and drink, with a 10% discount. The toilets and showers were ok, although would have preferred not to have to enter a code to get in.
Disliked Small changing space in the shower. Gate hard to open.
