Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Stunning location with direct access to the beach and lighthouse. The beach has the most shells I've ever seen!! Pitch was level and quiet, showers were hot and clean, staff very friendly throughout the site especially housekeeping who were always good humoured!
Disliked: Disappointed dogs not allowed at all within the complex unlike other Parkdeans we've stayed at. Whilst I totally accept there should be dog free areas as you pay a charge to bring a dog I would have expected a dog designated area under cover where you could eat and drink not just an outside beer garden. As the weather was inclement we politely declined and didn't buy any food or drink on site but went down the road to the very dog friendly pub! Elsan point was a machine that supposedly cleans your cassette unfortunately it left loads of waste which then couldn't be disposed of as no manual elsan point. WiFi non existent, limited phone signal too which was frustrating at times!!

Liked: Reasonably priced, plenty to do, ample sized pitches with good electric hookup (we ran a cool box and 3 phone chargers off it with no issue), very clean toilet and shower block, friendly staff, very well stocked shop.
Disliked: No hand soap all week but I just bought a bottle from the store for £1.20 and took it with me to the bathroom each time. WiFi didn’t reach the campsite, although it worked perfectly in the entertainment complex.

Good site and facilities for families. Wouldn’t choose if on our own

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Friendly staff. Grandchildren enjoyed the pool and arcade as weather was mixed,
Disliked: The toilet block needed more supervision and checking as daughter in law had to go to reception on two occasions as no soap in dispensers and ran out of toilet roll in some cubicles. Realise that half term so lots of children around. Difficult to contact direct as wanted to check/amend checkout time. Took lots of time emailing to pitch up re answer which they couldn’t give in the end
