What customers say
Great secluded pitches in a beautiful, quiet spot with awesome mountain and sea views. Clean facilities with hot water. Guests love the privacy, fire pits, and easy firewood. Minor road noise noted by a few. Highly recommend for peace, beauty, and exploring the coast.

Natural, private and thoughtful site with helpful and responsive staff
Unpowered grass tent site (sea view)
Liked Stunning setting and private pitches, with little-to-no sight of other camps. The hosts are informative, helpful and responsive - providing all the information or instructions we might have needed. We were two substantial tents plus awning/tarp and we fit perfectly on the pitch.
The facilities (showers and toilets) were good and always clean; and although there's only two showers I waited no more than 5 minutes at any point on a busy bank holiday weekend. There's one washing up station, but again, I didn't wait for any more than 5 minutes and it was mostly free.
There are thoughtful touches of wheelbarrows for transporting from car to camp (top tier), wood for sale and a picnic bench on pitch.
There's wild rabbits and wildlife, sea and mountain views, and a 10 minute gorgeous stroll to the beach.
Be aware there is noise from the road nearby, but it is by no means disruptive and fades into the background; we also experienced some gusty winds where you're so close to the stunning mountains, but nothing tents couldn't handle.
Overall, this is a beautiful site with all the nature and "small" vibes you could ask for. I'd recommend it, and would stay again.

Excellent site, private pitches and unbelievable location!
Unpowered grass campervan or tent site (sea view)
Liked This camp site was excellent - we were pitch 15 at the top of the camp where we had our car next to the tent.
We were warmly welcomed by the owners straight away who were super clear with how it all works, where things are and able to make suggestions.
We had a slightly windy first night but expected at a beach view campsite, and then 25 degrees sunny for the rest - amazing place to have this weather.
Short walk down to the beach though steep inclines would be difficult for those with mobility issues.
Showers, toilets and washing up area all beyond suitable! Fire pits and logs at the ready too!
We loved it here - would come back in a heartbeat!

Liked This is such a lovely little campsite. All pitches have a picnic bench with fire pit which is a lovely touch. The site it's self is immaculate. Each pitch has very private and clear marked out. Really close to a beach with beautiful views of mountains and sea. Such a relaxing experience.
Disliked Nothing to dislike at all.

Great stay 😁
3 bedroom static caravan
Liked We had a lovely stay. I booked to come here with my mum and my partner and it was the first time we’ve been away together with my mum. The area is beautiful, the caravan was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. Helena was a lovely host and was very attentive.
Disliked One minor thing the shelves in the fridge need fixing
