What customers say
This campsite gets rave reviews for its prime spot with direct beach access, friendly staff, and clean facilities. Pitches are usually spacious. On-site food is a hit. Most guests enjoyed their stay, though some mentioned noise, shower heat, and occasional crowds. Great value overall.

Great quiet place to stay
Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We stayed in the seaside field and was spacious. We’ve been before and love the tranquillity of the site. If you require a quiet, close to the beach site, the Hollies is the one. The services are sufficient - my husband did say he webt to use the toilet a. Couple of times and they were closed for cleaning - this is only a positive!
Disliked None

Great campsite, would visit again
Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Excellent facilities, very close to the beach, friendly staff, food trucks on site, adventure area for the kids, very close to supermarkets etc. Very good value for money.
Disliked Rules around off leash dogs and excessively loud music being played for multiple hours three evenings in a row were not enforced and it was unclear how to manage these issues. We had a young child with us and whilst ordinary noise like other kids playing chatting etc is totally fine, loud music was played three nights in a row until 10pm making it very hard to put our young child down to sleep.

Lovely clean site. Would definitely recommend and will be revisiting.
Seaside primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Was a lovely site. This was my first time camping with just me and my young daughter. It was a simple site. The staff were very friendly. The facilities were clean and in good condition. There were food trucks for breakfast, coffee, fish and chips and ice cream. The beach was easily accessible with some steps and was a lovely beach.
Disliked My only dislike was setting up in the rain.. but that’s definitely not on the site. It made it all the more of an adventure.
(No wifi -but not an issue and no review needed)

Great site , very clean
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The site is extremely well run , very clean , nice big pitches . The shower blocks/toilets are the cleanest we’ve ever been to . Booking was really easy and with very clear instructions for access to the site .
Disliked The only thing that I would mention is you can’t change the shower temperature , it was fine for my husband but a little to hot for myself and I feel it would be hot for children - an observation rather than complaint !

Liked Friendly check in service, told to pitch anywhere on the field which was great and nice big pitch sizes. Great access to the beach via stairs at end of field. Shower and toilet block was regularly cleaned and hot water every time! Will definitely be back
