What customers say
This campsite's active airfield location offers spacious, level sites and friendly staff. Guests love the affordability, beach access, and plane-watching. However, toilet and shower upkeep and cleanliness need improvement. Some mention noise and bin issues.

Good for adults not so good for children
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Views were good watching few parachutes the children enjoyed the climbing frame . Showers were plenty warm although the button pressing every three seconds was annoying. Location is nice and some stunning views and sunsets. Good location to use as base for exploring local area . Didn’t try onsite activities as they were overpriced in comparison to other locations .
Disliked The toilet and shower (women’s) has mould stains two toilets one shower .family shower is disabled toilet with non disabled shower ( smallest cubicle ever ) if your over size 14 your not getting in. This is listed as family site yet not family appropriate the biggest let down her is lack of actual management. It states quiet time from 10pm we were there for a week and eve night music blaring till after 3 am the strong stench of cannabis and the constant foul language yelling arguing from other campers was actually scary we cut our trip short due to this . No supervision from staff . Claims it’s 200 pitches but you can only pitch on outside of very small field 50 max it be full the whole site needs proper maintenance and tidying up proper signage . Would we stay again ?maybe but not anytime soon
