What customers say
A grand spot, a lovely welcome with plenty of room for the tent. The facilities were spotless and it's a grand base for seeing the sights. The kids loved the playgrounds and the farm critters. Staff couldn't do enough for you. A bit of road noise now and then, and some bits could do with a spruce-up, but all in all, it's a good one.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
OK but location not good for beaches
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked easy access from main road, clean facilities
Disliked only 6 toilet/shower/sink units in block, when all in use have to wait, and the site was not busy. Site map did not show where water points were, and where to empty grey waste. Fresh water taps were over a ground level raised "bowl" and no hosepipe attached, making it difficult to fill water hog. To empty grey waste I used motorhome service point, not sure if this was correct. Quite a lot of road noise, not what we want for a break. Also, with the toilet/shower combination, often the floor was wet when wanting to use the toilet.

Liked Very well located, with amenities nearby at walking distance. About 25 min drive from the beaches, fairly quick drive.

Liked Good location
Disliked We stayed there because was very close to festival which we attended. When my partner went to reception to tell them we’re coming late so he been told we can’t come after 23 because nobody open gate for us. (Gate was automatically registration recognised). Lady said we can leave car outside and walking in to the campsite.We travel in camper .We couldn’t stay long on festival. Feeling a bit disappointed what lady in reception told

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We do make it very clear in our T&C's and website that the site gate is closed at night for security reasons. Like most campsites we have been to. We offered you to stay in the late night arrival bay just outside which is fully serviced with water and EHU. Unfortunately we are not going to compromise the park security or change the park rules for one individual. Please check each campsite you stay at to ensure it's rules and procedures meet your very specific requirements.

Electric grass pitch
Liked We have just got home from a 3 night stay at St Leonard’s, perfect for what we wanted, Toilet/shower block a bit dated but kept clean and tidy, Great park and football field/dog walking area. Quieter than we thought it would be which was also nice, everyone seems to respect the rules which was nice to see and everyone else using site seemed really friendly. Walked up to Sainsbury’s and Lidl in morning for a few bits (15/20) min walk. Can also walk to pub (Beefeater) in 15 mins. Would definitely go back.
