What customers say
This large, tidy campsite boasts friendly staff and a lovely seaside setting. Pitches are roomy, and the washrooms/showers are often lauded for being spotless. The pool and entertainment are big hits with families. Some found it bustling with noise and pricey on-site food/drinks. A few noted older facilities in spots.

Thank you for your review.
We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. ^SR
Good site & price but you get loads of dogs or loads of kids.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The weather! Toilet n shower ok.
Disliked Having to be off site by 10am That gives the site 4 hours of empty space. Campervan pitches don’t need cleaned. We won’t return because of this. It’s usually 12.
WiFi - non existent and apparently needs paid for but still not guaranteed.

Good facilities, entertainment and plenty of staff around.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Good welcome, plenty of friendly staff around to support. Even got a gentleman near the pitch area to welcome people and point out the amenities. Easy access to all the facilities, and the entertainment for the young ones is very good!
Disliked Everything is double or triple the price! I get that it needs to be a bit more expensive, but not at this level nowadays. Especially if you need to travel 12 miles to the nearest town. Check-out for your own tents and caravans should be after 10 am even check-in is only allowed at 2 pm, understandable if you need to clean anything but it's not the case. It's like a wake-up call and a rush for everyone to be on time... not what we wanted before going home.

Overall a good experience, we will be back.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We enjoyed the location, the site was clean and tidy, the staff friendly. The touring warden, Russell, did an amazing job on the touring field, assisting when arriving on site, directing us to our pitch, keeping the toilets very clean (even dealing with vomit and faeces left by other guests) He even came and assisted us whilst we tried to put up our awning in very strong winds. He's an asset to your site.
Disliked No real dislikes, the weather could have been better, nothing anyone can do about that.

Large and level hardstanding pitch
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Large and level hardstanding pitch. Hot showers and a warm toilet block.
Disliked Water only dribbled out of tap so it took a long time (over an hour) to half fill our 50 ltr motorhome water tank. The site had only just opened for the season two days before our arrival, so perhaps this will improve as time goes on. Toilets not the cleanest.

From the manager: Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review following your stay. We’re really pleased to hear you were happy with your large, level hardstanding pitch and that you enjoyed the hot showers and warm toilet facilities.
We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the water pressure when filling your motorhome tank, as well as your concerns regarding the cleanliness of the toilets. As you mentioned your stay was at the very start of the season, we appreciate your understanding, but we do recognise this is still not the standard we aim to provide. Your comments have been shared with the team to review and address.
Thank you again for your feedback—we hope to welcome you back again in the future for a more seamless experience. ^EC
