What customers say
Great spot near beaches, staff are ace. Pitches are generous. Facilities are a bit tired, though. Loads for kids, but can get busy and noisy. Pool cost a bit much for some.

Powered grass site
Liked The pitch was a good size, park was nice
Disliked Very run down/tired site, not the cleanest either. Pool was cold and the surrounding was carpet, not very nice to walk on. The site a daily itinerary sheet out with activities but the activities were not carried out. Staff didn’t seem to know much when asked. Not the most enthusiastic. Expensive pitches and had to pay on top for showers.

Overall a good experience, friendly campers but not for everyone.
Powered grass site
Liked You could come here and not leave site, great beach, a short walk from the site. Lively bar, friendly. All the facilites you need on site. Beautiful location, many beaches close by.
Disliked Sometimes the toilets were grubby, and smelt of drains in the showers, not the best for the price. Pool not included, even one visit would have been nice when you pay so much. Small pitches, no wide open field (it has a play park, but usually very busy).

Liked Great site with a beautiful beach accessed easily through the site. My daughter loved the pool. The shop was well stocked and not too bad price wise and all the staff very friendly.
Disliked It's not a dislike but the toilet block is a little dated and there needs to be more showers that are more reliable a few times money got put in for it then to not work.

Powered grass site
Liked We liked how close it was to the beach and there was a beautiful restaurant down the road. The site itself was clean around the pitches.
Disliked The toilet facilities where where dated with mirrors missing tiles missing, showers where not great poor water supply, damaged floor where water had gotten under the vinyl flooring, the bar was like a 90’s pub not modern. The worst thing about the site which is a reason why we would never recommend or go back…. This is a homophobic site where they assume your sexuality by name and we were advised that they don’t accept same sex couples due to it being a “family site” This kind of segregation and exclusion in 2025 is appalling, derogatory and disgusting 🤮 some staff members where cringe one in reception needs a new job.

Overall very nice place for visiting areas. We loved the seafront.
Powered grass site
Liked We stayed in ‘Beachfield’ area which was a massive field with sea view. Very short distance to a stunning beach. Nice playground for kids and food shops so can’t go hungry. Very close distance to other beaches too. Bar and entertainment.
Disliked Paying for showers- make sure you have plenty of 20p with you. Showers are shared - males with females.
No privacy in the caravan and tent pitches main area. Tents and camper vans very close to each other. Tiny road spaces. Too crowded for me.
Very large area but only one toilet facility. We were driving to the toilets especially in the morning.
Make sure to have a large water tank to collect drinking water which is supplied from the hose attached to the fence (Beachfield area). Sink facility is only in the main area.
