What customers say
Lovely spot with beach access, staff get a big thumbs up. Toilets and showers are grand and clean. Food's a winner, especially the chipper. Some say it's busy and noisy in peak times, and signal can be iffy.

Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very nice site, with some well looked after facilities (the toilets and shower blocks were very clean and well maintained). The location of the non electric pitches were great with direct access to the beach and the food vans (including the fish and chips, breakfast van, coffee van and ice cream man) were again welcome additions!
Disliked We did have some neighbours our first night who clearly did not know their campsite etiquette and were very loud still into the early hours of the morning. But, that isn’t the site’s fault.
