Unpowered grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Really nice views and the staff are absolutely lovely. Fun being next to the adventure park, although not cheap (around £10 for a child and same for adult) so I wouldn’t have gone more than once.
Disliked: Fairly basic facilities and not hugely well looked after. No loo roll in any of the ladies toilets the whole time we were there. Need to buy a shower token when reception is open which limits when you can take one. Listing does mention extra fee for farm, but they could definitely make it clearer.

Liked: Basic site. Very quiet. Close to bus stop and town/beach. Friendly staff. Lovely views.
Disliked: Not so much disliked but feel the facilities could do with a update. The showers need a shelf for toiletries and a handrier would be good as nothing to dry hands after visiting toilet.

Unpowered grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Quiet site with beautiful views. Lots of places to visit within 10 mins drive and a great pub just 5 mins walk away. Activity farm on site was a hit with the kids. Raised fire pits allowed so a cozy fire and marshmallows each night. We'll come back and stay for more than 2 nights next time!
Disliked: Only 7-8 pitches when we were there meant no queues for the (two) showers. I can see this may become frustrating if busier. Would be really helpful if the shop stocked some camping basics - always something forgotten!
