Liked Camper van EHU. Arrived to a nice guy in reception.It's chose your own pitch but they are NOT very well signed.Found a nice pitch, albeit with a view of the bins, it was really, very large, fairly flat & trees for the dog.We did use chocks. The site is kept nicely and the facilities are OK too, missing a dog wash, they are always handy and on large sites there shouldn't really be an issue creating one for guests !? They are creating a new part of the site with statics. The whole of this site is massive. The beach is stunning. You can walk (very long) or drive or take a boat trip to see the seals in their natural habitat which is really lovely.I couldn't stay on this site again for my health issues :-( BUT I would really recommend it IF you ask for advice on places (beach) and the best ways to get there ! Oh and I loved the rabbits, as in LOADS of them :-) x
Disliked NOW, the walk to the beach from this site is a LONG walk and anyone with mobility problems will struggle. Wheelchairs/pushchairs too.Our first walk was uphill, through the site, down a very steep, sliding sand, sand dune and as someone with a bad back I found was terrible. We then found another way but also not very good on my back. You really need to ask about directions for an easier way to the beach if you have any of the above (or even not ! ) Having said all that, the beach is gorgeous. It was terribly windy but you can walk for miles if you want or you can carry all your gear & wind breakers to stop for the day !!! Theres a lovely cafe'/bar right at the veryyy far end of the beach ( a real walk !) Take food & drinks with you if you think you'll need them ! We enjoyed our stay but my advice would be to get some advice from reception about the surroundings and where it is you exactly want to be !!! I couldn't stay again with my health issues, purely the hills and my walking ability. That's a shame as the really large pitch was possibly one of the nicest we've ever had. I hate leaving negative feedback but just do a little bit of research b4 you set off to the beach and you will ENJOY :-)

Beautiful views
Powered grass campsite
Liked Perfect setting, beautiful views of the beach, the beach itself from the site is stunning,nice big pitch sizes, didn’t feel as though we were cramped with the next tent or vans, shop had everything you may need, we ate at the bistro a couple of times which was quite good, although the breakfasts were quite cold unfortunately.Plenty of bins around and the site was clean and tidy. Washing up area really good, under cover and good position. Large showers which were actually a lovely temperature and plenty of toilets.was pretty peaceful although we stayed out of the school holidays and I would say maybe gets busy and louder through the holidays Overall an enjoyable stay.
Disliked Not really a dislike more of a warning to people with mobility issues, I have arthritis and found the walk to and from the beach a bit of a killer as it’s very steep from most walkways, but as I say not a dislike just be prepared, maybe the shower block could have been a bit cleaner but the tiles are a colour that would be hard to always look clean rather than not being clean.

Liked Warm fun welcome when we arrived, asked if we could be near the beach and said of course quick go grab a pitch now we shall bring the welcome pack up to you.
Toilets and showers lovely and clean.
Kids both age 10 could walk around the site on their own with us feeling they were perfectly safe.
Kept very clean all over the park and spectacular views of the beach.
Took us literally 3 minutes to walk down the dunes onto the stunning beach.
Sunset was amazing 🤩
Staff couldn’t do enough for you and entertainment team were great with the kids.
Disliked I love a game of bingo…. Could be made more fun. I understand it’s with the other parks too but could make it more enjoyable if it was less serious.
