Liked Fantastic location 5 minutes walk to Widemouth bay beach, which makes carrying my surfboard down to beach a breeze. Toilet and shower facilities are outstanding, like the idea of separate showers for changing out of wetsuit and to wash surfboard off. There are a couple of places very close by for a beer/food if needed plus an onsite food van. All in all couldn't of enjoyed my stay more.

A well located and popular site
Unpowered grass site
Liked Ideal location for surfing or other beach activities - it’s a literally 5 mins walk from a huge wide beach with RNLI cover.
Great toilet and shower facilities - clean, modern, and with limitless free hot water. Separate area for washing off wetsuits or if generally sandy.
Good washing-up area plus communal fridge, 2 x freezers, and a ‘freebie area’ where you can donate or pick up unwanted bits and pieces from other campers. Always fun to see what’s available and to pass some things onto others.
There is a relaxed feel to campsite with no marked pitches - you just go where you like. Also possible to have fires & BBQs (wood sold on site).
Burger/snack van available at times.
Free WiFi on site (but not especially strong signal)
Efficient wardens Gary and Sue live on site and regularly patrol around on their gold buggy. They kindly let everyone know when high winds were forecast to give us best chance of survival. They even kindly lent an alternative tent to someone whose tent was just too flimsy for the poor conditions.
Disliked There is not much shelter on the site - it is basically one big field with no hedges or otherwise to break it up, so worth noting that it can be quite windy as it is fairly exposed. Also note that the site is a bit sloping in most areas.
This is a fairly large site and the number of showers and toilets seemed fine in early September when site was fairly quiet but suspect there wouldn’t be enough when site is full.
Other inconsiderate campers leaving bits of litter around and leaving washing up sinks in an unpleasant state. (However these were always cleaned every morning by the site).

Well-run, well-equipped with pitch-side coastal views.
Powered grass site
Liked Clean and modern facilities – showers are warm, well-ventilated, and always stocked with loo roll. Pitches are generous with electric hook-ups, and the owners are friendly, helpful, and visible around the site. Extras like fridges, freezers, and outdoor showers make beach life easier, while the sea views and sunsets are simply spectacular. The location is spot-on, with Widemouth Beach on the doorstep, two pubs, a beach café, and Vic’s food van for morning coffee or evening burgers.
Disliked Not really a did like but It can be windy (you’re camping right by the sea, after all), but secure pitching and a good campfire soon sort that out
