Stay clear of the Meadow Field
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked It's near a beach.
Disliked Being placed in the Meadow Field part of the site where the gravel pitches are next to what are obviously travellers in the entire lower middle section.
Kept awake on Friday night by 'Michael' and his mates having a right good session culiminating at 4am with an 'everyone back to their vans and have a domestic with their wives'.
Constant vehicle activity after midnight, hazards going, headlights on full beam. 5mph speed limit ignored by most 'seaonal residents' and the warden which is ironic.
Left after 1 night of a 3 night stay. Complained to indifferent staff who clearly know there is an issue and came up with the 'they only arrived recently line'. The vans in question have grass growing up around the awnings, airers and washing machines.
I was advised I should have phoned the warden but he should have been able to hear them as well as I could, quite what he would have done with 6 inebriated travellers is anyone's guess.
Promised a phone call from management who mysteriously weren't on site all weekend. Call never came which tells me they couldn't care less what casual punters think. Don't let them put you in the Meadow Field is my advice.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Pitches nice and big. Toilets clean. Lots of drinking water taps around
Disliked Not enough wash up areas. Steps down to the beach. We didn’t get told until
We asked on our last full day if there was a closer beach, then we got told to follow a path where there are no stairs. Getting told on the day we arrive we are not allowed to have any bbq’s.
