What customers say
Great campsite, peaceful with top-notch, spotless facilities and sea views. Owners are friendly. Lovely spot for exploring. Access lanes a bit tight, some noise noted, but overall great value. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable

Liked Very friendly lady on reception , kind & welcoming. Great location , shower blocks lovely and modern. Very chilled atmosphere , and what a bonus walking to the end of the lane to watch a magnificent sunset over Lundy island.
Enjoyable stay, would recommend & if I am ever in the area again I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Liked Nice layout, flat pitch for the tent and plenty of space. Great fire pit rental system and coffee and jacket potato hut on site was a nice touch as well. Amazing views and sunset over Lundy island was beautiful
Disliked The water pressure in the shower was poor but overall the facilities were clean and well maintained . Children playing outside the tents wasn’t appreciated since there was a designated kids play area a short distance away.

From the manager: Thank you Nigel for the lovely review of your stay with us last weekend and the brilliant photos you shared. We hope to see you again sometime.
Our second visit, consistently a fantastic campsite!
Unpowered grass site
Liked Loved the views, big fields with lots of available spots. We have a nervous dog who reacts to sound but he heard none of the other campers as we were able to park far away from others. Lovely views of the sea, absolutely wonderful to wake up to. Really clean facilities and everywhere felt safe at all times. Coffee and tea available in the mornings, food truck comes by in the evening.

Great site near beaches
Unpowered grass site
Liked A really friendly campsite. Plenty of pitches. Clean toilet/showers. Showers hot and good power. Lovely food van visiting at weekends. Friendly staff. Great view of the sea in the distance from the higher fields.
Disliked The locks on the portacabin toilets are a bit difficult to lock/unlock.

Power optional grass site
Liked Washing facilities were good. Electric hook up is always a plus. Great service! Reasonably priced.
Disliked Was very exposed to the wind. I know it's close to the coast. Higher fencing or areas for shelter for tents. Not anywhere near public transport. Park swings and equipment needed cleaning.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for the review of your stay with us.
Unfortunately we can't control the direction of the wind.....you were against the hedge which would shelter you from the south westerly winds, which, as you can see from our tree at the entrance, is the predominant direction. I'm not sure the majority of our campers would welcome higher hedges as they welcome the beautiful view of the coastline. We are a 20 minute walk from public transport in Abbotsham. Sorry you felt our park needed cleaning, we'll get it sorted, but glad to hear you welcomed other parts of our campsite.
