What customers say
Sites are usually roomy and flat, with helpful staff. Clean facilities, but some note dated amenities & occasional toilet issues. Clubhouse/restaurant damage affected some; renovations ongoing. Great location for beaches/attractions, though remote & requires a car. WiFi isn't free.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Staff were friendly. This campsite had been a firm favourite to stay at over previous years. Unfortunately the standards have desperately slipped.
Disliked The toilets blocks need cleaning more frequently in busy seasons. Several toilets were not working and there were many ceiling tiles missing.
The decking from the toilet block is in need of an upgrade.
The commercial waste bins are seriously overflowing, smelling and covered in flies.
The site shop is basically stocked, the bread we purchased was out of date.
The building work for the new complex was unfenced and unsecured.

Cheap price for a couple of nights camping
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Price was cheap for a 2 night booking but the site needs some attention. Small bar and pizza cafe serving fresh pizzas and sides cooked perfect and delicious
Disliked Toilets block cleaning needs to be more frequent in the busy season. Not enough space between tents, next pitch set up there tent literally next to ours.

A Truly Wonderful Stay – Kindness…
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked A Truly Wonderful Stay – Kindness That I’ll Never Forget ❤️
After a long 6-hour drive, we were given such a warm and friendly welcome at reception, which was very much appreciated.
As a single parent travelling alone, I have to admit I was already exhausted when I arrived. To make things even more difficult, it was an incredibly windy day and I really struggled to put my tent up. There were other campers nearby, but unfortunately no one offered to help.
Then the site manager came over and, together with another member of staff, helped me get my tent up. I honestly can’t explain how much that meant to me. It may have seemed like a small gesture to them, but to me, at that moment, it made a huge difference. As a single parent, travelling alone and trying to manage everything myself, it made me feel supported and cared for.
And the kindness didn’t end there. On another day, one of the lovely members of staff noticed how exhausted I was and offered to bring my washing to my tent once it had dried. Again, it was such a simple act of kindness, but it meant so much.
These moments have genuinely stayed with me. I have never experienced this level of thoughtfulness and kindness at a campsite before. Sometimes it’s not just the facilities that make a stay special — it’s the people, and the little things they do that make you feel seen and looked after.
The campsite itself was clean and well maintained, and the toilets and showers were clean too. The cleaning staff were polite and friendly.
Overall, our experience was excellent. The kindness and compassion shown by the staff made our stay especially memorable, and I am incredibly grateful.
I would absolutely return and would have no hesitation in recommending this campsite to my family and friends.
Thank you to the whole team for making us feel so welcome, and for showing such genuine kindness. It really did mean more to me than you probably realise. ❤️

We would use this site again.

The site was kept well enough and it was quiet at night.

Overall I think it’s perfectly reasonable for the price you pay.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked The campsite only had one of our reservations- the other people in our party didn’t have a booking however they fixed the issue very quickly and found us a pitch.
The facilities are basic but I would say perfect for the price you pay, could do with more regular cleaning especially during peak times.
Disliked Some parts of the park were broken and unsafe
