What customers say
This large, well-kept campsite offers direct beach access via steep steps. Reviewers love the friendly staff, spacious sites, and great value. Toilets and showers are clean and modern. It's ideal for coastal walks and exploring nearby towns, with convenient bus service and shops nearby. On-site food, including a popular fish and chip van, is a hit. Some guests mentioned noise during busy times and occasional hot water issues, though management has addressed some concerns.

Nice clean and well kept camp site
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The toilets/ showers were very clean and regularly cleaned, good big bins, and well kept in general
Disliked Trying to get into the camp with the code it’s one gate in one gate out so trying to get in everyone comes out and you spend ages trying to get in the camp! There should be a gate or turn style gate towards the cliffs edge I worry if a child was to run off that cliff is a sheer drop!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Really impressed with this site. On arrival the lady in reception gave me clear directions and a map for our pitch. As we stopped the warden was passing and stopped to check on us & that we knew which grassy area was ours for set up. He mentioned the pitch had a few weeds and he would send the maintenance man to clear it for us. 10mins later he arrived and sorted it. Can't ask for more than that! Facilities were clean..site felt safe. We had chips from the chippy with our dinner, bacon rolls for breakfast and fancy coffee from the coffee van... All really lovely. Highly recommended.

Liked Friendly Staff. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Pitch's were well maintained. Great Location, costal walk just minutes away, and local bus services serve the road outside.
The parade of ducklings following their mother past our van and into the hedge really made our day :)
