What customers say
Great for families with lots to do, clean facilities (new toilets praised!), friendly staff. Pool, arcades, and food popular. Some found pitches muddy after rain & had noise issues. Renovations underway suggest future upgrades.

Don't expect any motorhome service points.

Liked New toilet block.
Disliked Filthy site with lots of rubbish strewn around. No where to drop grey water and a single drinking water tap to try to fill up the on board fresh water tank. Those two was not in an accessible place and had to be abandoned.

Liked Gluten free menu options
Sign posted clearly
Clean well maintained toiletsArcade staff friendly and polite fantastic with autistic son picking prizes
Disliked Limited swim session and having to book a day in advance, this should be more clearly advertised.
Male life guard would only talk to female swimmers, noted for a good 45 minutes this was very off putting for family . When I did attempt to speak with him he passed me on to another life guard so he could continue a casual conversation with a group of females.
Arcade is very understaffed and constant issues with machines on multiple visits

Liked The pizzas are very nice but a little expensive. Plenty to do for children on site.
Disliked Even though stated minimum distance of 3 metres between pitches we was lucky if we have 1.5m between tents either side of us. Pitches are not as big as stated. Our 6x4m tent just about fit on our pitch. Very noisy at night, lots of people making noise after the 11pm curfew. Lot of rubbish around the site, hardly saw any workers in the touring part of the site over the 4 days we was there.

Powered grass campsite
Liked The camp is a nice size and a lot to do, we had teenagers but managed to book swimming although our trip was cut short and only there 36 hours as the storm took hold 4 Aug 2025
Disliked Upon arrival the reception was closed speaking to what seemed like a call
Centre overseas. After half a hr waiting around finally file me pitch numbers.
The pitch was full of stones so getting the tent pegs in was a nightmare.
After our tent was up we realised we had pitch on dog poo the whole area outside and inside our tent stank disgusting!!!
The electric hook up was a distance from the tent so 4 extension leads as didn’t have the long electrical one which I suggest is a must here.
People had left The day after we arrived and left broken mirror, rubbish, tent pegs bins over flowing.
Toilets grubby toilet roll everywhere kids in and out with no shoes and mucky wet floor I didn’t see any cleaners in or around in fact I saw one member of staff on a little buggy there was no staff to be seen.
Showers were ok not much facilities here a plug for hairdryer and straighteners would be ideal. ( hair dryers are fitted) The ceiling for the showers is a high gloss so as soon as my autistic daughter saw these she was worried people would see her reflection and I sure could see her as I waited for her. No shelves in shower for bottles constantly pressing shower every 3 seconds and bending down to pick bottles up while holding toothbrush, could be so much easier with the addition of a shelf.
The restaurant is extortionate we decided to cook ourselves, £14 for a margarita from the pizza van, fish box was so tasteless frozen chicken burgers and just overpriced.

Very good site with super clean facilities more info would help people
Powered grass campsite
Liked Cleanliness of toilets and showers and the washing up station.
Good size pitches nice to have the trees as shelter.
Swimming pool was great
Restaurant was clean and arcades handy
Shop was brilliant with so much useful stuff.
Amazingly clean around the whole site.
Pottery was brilliant and very reasonably priced.
Disliked Not being able to book the pool more than once in a day.
Checkout could be an hour later
Restaurant was average but unorganised and food was just warm.
Evening entertainment was mostly geared towards younger children not great for older kids.
Arcades were far too loud.
A park nearer the camping pitches would be great.
An electric hook up on each pitch would be better or let people know they need longer wires as we unfortunately couldn’t make use of the electric even though we had paid for it as our cable was too short.
