What customers say
Well-kept, friendly campsite with beach access. Clean facilities, spacious pitches, and helpful staff are highlights. Food options and good value. Steep steps to the beach and occasional busy periods noted, but overall, a relaxing and excellently located spot. Many plan to return.

Liked Here’s a polished review with a warm and friendly tone 😊
We stayed at The Hollies campsite from 24 May – 26 May and had such a lovely experience! 🏕️✨ The location is absolutely perfect — right by the beach 🌊 and only a 3-minute drive to big shops and even McDonald’s 🍔, which was super convenient for our family.
The campsite itself was spacious, peaceful, and very family friendly 👨👩👧👧🐶 There was plenty of room for everyone, and we really appreciated how dog friendly the site was. We came with our husband, two daughters, and our dog, and we all felt so welcome ❤️
The shower and toilet facilities were very clean 🚿✨ and everything around the site was well maintained. Check-in was quick and easy 👍 which made arriving stress free.
One of our favourite touches was the breakfast and coffee bar on site ☕🥐 open in the mornings — such a nice way to start the day! We also loved that campfires were allowed 🔥 which made the evenings extra cosy and memorable.
Great prices, fantastic atmosphere, and perfect for families with children. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend The Hollies to anyone looking for a relaxing camping getaway! 😊🏕️

Disliked For us the site is really big and being bank holiday it was really busy we just felt you was all on top of each with not much space in between and with a dog that can be reactive this was a problem we did actually pack up and leave the same day we should have looked into the site set up properly before hand if your into a quieter get away this wouldn't be the place to go

Great campsite for all
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked What a find!
We had an issue and after emailing the team replied promptly and it was all sorted.
From arriving being shown to our pitch. The huge site from tourers, caravans and tents. There was a place for all.
Chip van from Thurs-sat. Reasonably priced. On site breakfast van sat and Sunday and then a coffee van too.
Short walk to the beach, although steep steps down and up. Our dog had a great time.
Everyone friendly. Clean and tidy toilets and showers.
Will definitely be visiting again
