What customers say
A grand spot close to a lovely beach, with plenty of folk raving about the roomy, flat pitches and stunning views. Staff are often called sound and helpful. The pool and entertainment are a big hit, particularly with the young families. A few said some bits could do with a spruce-up, and there was the odd bit of noise.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Very big! Acceptable facilities. Location is key!
Electric grass pitch
Liked The location is fabulous. Easy walk over the dunes and down to a beautiful beach. We enjoyed the indoor pool, heated and well maintained.
The pitch was a good size, pretty much level and if the weather allows you can catch a lovely sunrise coming up over the dunes.
Disliked We decided to treat ourselves to some food at the bistro bar as the pictures looked amazing… needless to say what we ordered looked nothing like the pictures. Just about everything we asked for they didn’t have… it was pretty terrible! Some things people ordered looked ok from a distance… but I really wish I hadn’t bothered…

Liked We loved this park, amazing location, to be able to walk straight to the beach. The facilities were also great, the kids took part in the evening entertainment each night and absolutely loved it, they didn't want to leave. Will book again

Good site, level pitches & right next to the beach.
Electric grass pitch

Disliked Nothing

Overall very happy with the site and I will definitely return.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The size of the pitches, overall a clean and tidy site. Staff were friendly. Easy access to the beach with a accessible carpark. Great location.
Disliked Now I am being picky, but the showers do not run long enough. You have to keep pushing the button every 20 to 30 seconds.
The couple that pitched behind us with their child/grandchild were heavy pot smokers which wasn't great smelling 1st thing in the morning and last thing at night, especially other children around the site having to smell it.

Great site and location
Electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly welcome at reception from staff. Given a map of the site, which was very helpful. We were allowed to choose which location out of the two we wanted to pitch up our tent. Opted for the one nearest to reception as the weather was a bit hit and missed and offered more shelter. Lots to do on site for families with children. Swimming is free but you have to book time & day. Lots of activities for children that can be easily booked through the app ,some you have to pay for but pretty reasonable prices. You do get some free activities for the children and pantomime shows. Sands Bistro & Bar is the perfect location offering a sea view with a play area and outside seating aswell as an arcade and pool room. Food was a little pricey but decent, nevertheless. Happy hour on cocktails is between 3 & 6 pm and later from 9:30pm. Night time entertainment was brilliant! Started with the younger kids' shows, etc, then followed by bingo for the adults, and after bullseye, discos in the Dynamite Bar. Washing area was cleaned regularly and consisted of shower & toilet cubicles. There was a pot washing area with fitted sinks too which was a bonus and it offered sheltered. Small golf course on site which was £2 a club with a £5 deposit, also a tennis court but can't remember the price as we didn't use it. A nisa shop on site which was handy and Lidl store not far from the resort about a 15 minute walk or 5 mins in the car depending on traffic build-up at the double roundabout. Beach is beautiful but you do have to go down a steep hill or climb down steps..wasn't a problem for us but anyone with mobility issues might find it a problem.
Disliked Washing facilities could do with a bench to sit and dry your feet.
