What customers say
Great for families, with clean facilities, especially new showers. Staff are lovely. Pool, arcades & food are popular. Some pitches get muddy after rain, and there can be noise. Renovations are underway, promising even more.

ok camp site it is budget so I guess you get what you pay for
Electric grass pitch
Liked The camp is a nice size and a lot to do, we had teenagers but managed to book swimming although our trip was cut short and only there 36 hours as the storm took hold 4 Aug 2025
Disliked Upon arrival the reception was closed speaking to what seemed like a call
Centre overseas. After half a hr waiting around finally file me pitch numbers.
The pitch was full of stones so getting the tent pegs in was a nightmare.
After our tent was up we realised we had pitch on dog poo the whole area outside and inside our tent stank disgusting!!!
The electric hook up was a distance from the tent so 4 extension leads as didn’t have the long electrical one which I suggest is a must here.
People had left The day after we arrived and left broken mirror, rubbish, tent pegs bins over flowing.
Toilets grubby toilet roll everywhere kids in and out with no shoes and mucky wet floor I didn’t see any cleaners in or around in fact I saw one member of staff on a little buggy there was no staff to be seen.
Showers were ok not much facilities here a plug for hairdryer and straighteners would be ideal. ( hair dryers are fitted) The ceiling for the showers is a high gloss so as soon as my autistic daughter saw these she was worried people would see her reflection and I sure could see her as I waited for her. No shelves in shower for bottles constantly pressing shower every 3 seconds and bending down to pick bottles up while holding toothbrush, could be so much easier with the addition of a shelf.
The restaurant is extortionate we decided to cook ourselves, £14 for a margarita from the pizza van, fish box was so tasteless frozen chicken burgers and just overpriced.

Very good site with super clean facilities more info would help people
Electric grass pitch
Liked Cleanliness of toilets and showers and the washing up station.
Good size pitches nice to have the trees as shelter.
Swimming pool was great
Restaurant was clean and arcades handy
Shop was brilliant with so much useful stuff.
Amazingly clean around the whole site.
Pottery was brilliant and very reasonably priced.
Disliked Not being able to book the pool more than once in a day.
Checkout could be an hour later
Restaurant was average but unorganised and food was just warm.
Evening entertainment was mostly geared towards younger children not great for older kids.
Arcades were far too loud.
A park nearer the camping pitches would be great.
An electric hook up on each pitch would be better or let people know they need longer wires as we unfortunately couldn’t make use of the electric even though we had paid for it as our cable was too short.

We enjoyed our stay but would not return unfortunately.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Pizza was lovely! It was nice to be walking distance from a shop. The toilets and showers for the tenting area were very good and cleaned everyday.
The surrounding area is lovely, very picturesque, especially on a clear day! The beach is a walk down the road which is really handy!
The guy running the camping part was lovely and very accommodating when I asked to be near the toilets and next to my friend who was also there.
Disliked The service was awful. We went into the Fish Box and as we were waiting we were being told that they have known for being extremely slow. We stood inside waiting to be acknowledged for a good 10-15 minutes and nothing so we left. We ended up having pizza but even that was a 45 minute wait!
