What customers say
This campsite's prime location is a short walk to the beach. Staff are generally friendly and helpful. Guests rave about family entertainment and amenities. Facilities are clean but can be dated. Pitch size, toilet/shower proximity, and extra fees for pool/Wi-Fi are common talking points. Some experienced noise and crowds.

Liked Good sized pitch. Very close to harlyn beach
Disliked Showers needed a good clean. Insufficient number for the amount of people. Main site very noisy although camping field was ok. Expensive for grass pitch with no electricity at £40 a night

Liked The park was ok and the swimming pool
Disliked Booked an electric pitch and the electric didn’t work the whole weekend meaning foot we had taken went bad and couldn’t charge our phones which we had our money on so had to leave early

Yeah it was ok.
Beach Field Zone 4 primitive grass campsite
Liked The camping field was extremely close to the beach and it was lovely. Only a short walk away.
Very child friendly. Good play park
Shop was well stocked.
Showers were good/clean/big and pressure was fab.
Disliked If camping in the camp field - its a long distance to the shower/toilet block as its all the way back by reception. With children this was a major negative. There was only that 1 block of facilities for the whole entire camping/static on site for everyone to use.
The pub was very very dated. Needed modernisation to match the park.
When we turned up I did not really feel welcomed. I did not get an hello or welcome. The staff in reception seemed quite rude/abrupt/stern. It seemed very old fashioned in a way with organisation. We never got a map to take away with us either which we didn't like.

Liked Was clean staff friendly and very quite
Disliked 10am departure to early as the site has a no noise before 9am policy and when you have kids that have to be woken up early to pack up its hard to be quite

Avoid in the Summer
Anonymous Beach Field Zone 3 powered grass campsite
Liked The campsite had access to the beach and views over the sea. We can see how outside of the holidays this could be a nice spot! Staff were really helpful and friendly.
Disliked There was only one toilet and shower block for the whole site. It is incredibly overcrowded with pitches crammed in next to each other. Items from the shop were also very expensive.
We found the site to be very noisy throughout the night and booked elsewhere.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Great place for families. Entertainment was great 😊 very reasonable price on food & drinks, very crowded need to park pushchairs outside rather then inside taking up a lot of room. Air con needs to be working as well to many bodies at one time made it so hot
Disliked Not very clean showers & toilet were very dirty someone had diarrhoea & just left to the next person to clean up in shower room no bins you had to walk quite far to get to them same with toilets very over crowded

Perfect family get away
Powered grass campsite
Liked The whole holiday, from the moment we arrived at the park, we were greeted with friendly, professional staff who spoke us through the whole rules of the park and times of opening and closing of different activities on the park. Liked the one way system , so much easier to move around the park, showers were great and always very clean and tidy, infact all communal areas were clean and tidy and professionally looked after. All staff were kind and very helpful through out our stay, we had family that were there days before us but we put in a spot by them so we could enjoy our holiday together. The beach is beautiful and also kept well and only few min walk from site. The whole stay was perfect.
Disliked No wifi , the only wifi is in the club house but even that was temperamental. And in some cases it was good to get away from our phones, but for me having a disabled son who I'm an emergency contact for it was hard to keep contact without wifi.
