What customers say
A grand spot, peaceful and spotless, right by the beach. Staff are sound and helpful. Pitches are good. Toilets are a bit old but spotless and warm. Great value for money, though the dog charge is a bit steep for some. A lovely quiet escape, perfect if you love the sea.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Good sized pitch. Quiet site. Easy beach access across the road. Nice sized shower blocks, all recycling, waste disposal etc in one area. Tap by pitch.
Disliked Nice site but £4 per night for a dog is a bit steep, there are no facilities ie dog field, not even a specific dog bin. Bumps the price up considerably if you had 2 dogs or were staying for a few nights.

Great place to pitch up, walk the beaches and relax in the quiet
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked I am thankful I found the review that questioned others’ comments on the loos and chose to book this site. We loved it here. So close to the beach across the road and pitched in a quiet field at the top of the caravan spaces. We could not fault here and encourage others to book. For tents, you turn up and choose where to camp up in a field that is clean, tidy and recently mowed. Beautiful views over Criffel to the West and Cumbrian hills of the Lake District to the East. Double whammie of sunrises and sunsets.
The whole park is pristine and secured by residents keycard to open and close the gate.
The showers were piping hot, plenty of water and housed within a toilet block that was always immaculate and well stocked of tp.
We are lucky to have found a campsite that is quiet and suitable for us and our dogs, so close to our homes. We will be back, simply waiting to see the weather in the next couple of weeks.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Friendly welcome and given all the info we needed. Great pitch size with easy access to water.
Good location for beach and on cycle routes.
Disliked As others have stated, shower block could do with modernisation or at least the removal of spiders and webs etc before it has to be used by campers.

Avoid unless you have your own car.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very green grass.
Disliked For £20 a person to camp this was very very pooe value. Totally unsuitable unless you have your own vehicle. Its a long walk to Siloth for food.
The tap worked.
The cows were interesting.
That sums up the facilities, and as I say for £20 it's nor good enough.

Disliked Seemed like this was just a toilet for dog walkers on the caravan site not what I would expect when having to put your tent on the ground,when booking said there was 3 places left so thought there would be plenty of people there for the size of field but no just us if I new this wouldn’t of booked as we like to have a crack ect , not to sure on facilities as we didn’t use them and just wanted to get away
