Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: The pitches were nice and level with plenty of room. The toilets were spotless warm and in good working order lovely hot showers and plenty of shower and toilet blocks to choose from all staff very polite and friendly ! Will definitely be coming back
Disliked: The stairs into the beach which I know isn’t the sites fault. But yeah I was far to scared to attempt going down them with my knee and a 3 year old little boy so we drove to a nearby beach.

Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Good facilities! clean showers and toilet blocks. Ample cleaning space for dishes etc, good size pitches and friendly helpful staff. Food options on site and close to several supermarkets. Animal friendly although we didn’t bring one. Beach is down some significant steps but managed by most people. Once on the beach walk to the left and there is a calm somewhat shallow area for a swim. We did a sunrise swim and so did several others including families with children. We stayed in our bell tent so can’t comment on the accommodation on site. Other people seemed very pleased though.
