What customers say
This campground offers a great spot near the beach with welcoming staff. Guests loved the clean facilities, roomy sites, and fun entertainment, especially for kids. Some noted the washrooms could be cleaner and were a bit dated. Occasional noise and crowds were also mentioned.

Each to their own but this place wasn't for me.
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Being close to beach....Thats it.
Disliked Pitches are nothing like the pictures, way too busy for my, too many cars around so kids had to be very mindful of surroundings.Couldnt get to use the swimming area as all time slots were fully booked from the frid-sun..Camping area shower/toilets were dirty, could do with a good power wash with some bleach.NO Internet signal at all.Arcades,food etc were expensive especially if you've got kids.

Will not return
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Location to beach
Disliked Pitches were sand filled as grass is literally worn away in places
Showers were absolutly disgusting, vinyl on floor peeeling away, urinal in mens leaking all over floor, breeding ground for bacteria in showers block, swimming was no no as I wasnt queuing up for 50 mins with 2 kids,, staff shortages apparently meant the pool was closed Monday and Fri.. I think this place needs a new experienced maintenance team skilled in groundworks and plumbing and repairs as it is absolutly shambolic,

Disliked Everything is beading fixed . Doors hanging off. Some of the lockers in the swimming pool don’t work. We just left Eyemouth site and it was amazing.

Had amazing time with our kids…
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Had amazing time with our kids very quiet at this time of year for tents, great service when I asked to move to a certain pitch as we wouldn't fit in between the tents that were there and they changed it no problem, especially as the rest of the tent pitches were empty.
Lovely walks only 15 minutes drive away
Disliked No baby swings available for younger kids at all 3 parks on site are suitable for older children. Also would be better if certain parts of the indoor entertainment area where dog friendly.
