What customers say
This well-maintained campground offers stunning ocean views & direct beach access via steep steps. Guests rave about friendly staff, clean amenities & great food. Spacious sites, though some are sloped. Lots of kids' entertainment & a large dog-walking area. Some occasional road noise & long walks to facilities from higher spots noted.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Highly recommend! 10/10!
Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite (sea view, sloping)
Liked Absolutely everything. We had a spontaneous one night stay and we couldn't believe our luck on the open field at the very top. With ocean views! We will most definitely be back this summer! Thank you so much.
We loved all the facilities, the site was clean. The shop was reasonably priced, lots for children to do onsite. Last night was Mexican food night which looked delicious! We had already eaten but the food and bar van was thriving. Lovely to see!
Disliked Nothing!

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite (sea view, sloping)
Liked Lovely staff, lovely area, great for the kids
Disliked Not enough showers for the amount of people that stay there. No matter what time of day you go you have to wait to use the facilities. Also, all facilities are at a bottom of a large hill so unfortunately have to struggle walking up and down that hill all day.

From the manager: Thank you, and we are glad the kids enjoyed it.
Baffles me that people are mad enough to queue for one block when there are two other empty ones within a minutes walk in the Valley.
The opening of the toilet block in the Ocean View field (you must have just missed this) will hopefully help with the struggle.
Our third visit - we will return
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Brilliant campsite for children. Play park good and plenty of space to run around. Clean facilities and good choice of food at the take out.

Beautiful place!!
Powered grass campsite
Liked Peaceful location. Lovely sized pitches with no additional charges to bring a gazebo or pup tent. Check in was quick and handy being 12pm meant we could anet up and still enjoy the rest of the day. Our electric hook up cable was slightly too short for the hook up and the owners loaned us an extention which was really helpful! We were allowed to have a campfire and bbq as long as it’s off the ground too. Showers and toilets regularly cleaned. All in a really pleasant place and would definitely recommend! Would love to come back again! Oh and the showers were amazing hot!!
Disliked The washing up area by the H fields water was luke warm, maybe I’m being fussy but I like to have hot water for cleaning my plates etc so ideally the water could have been a bit hotter but that’s me clutching at straws I can’t fault anything!

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite (sea view, sloping)
Liked Excellent facilities including clean shower blocks, access to walking trails, friendly staff, shop and food on site, quiet at night, sea views from the open pitch field.

Great location clean site everything you need was there.
Powered grass campsite
Liked The site was very clean, pitches were a great size, dog walking field was very large and the view from the top was stunning, only had food one night but again great value for money and the walks was superb.
Disliked Not a dislike but I think another dishwashing location at the top field would be good.

Excellent
Allocated primitive grass tent or campervan campsite (sea view)
Liked The whole thing... was excellent. Well run and tidy. Full facilities, clean and well maintained.
Staff Friendly and pitches well looked after.
Shop useful and the evening food saved the odd camping meal!
Views out to sea brilliant
Lots for the kids to do
Disliked Nothing really...although it was a shame that the path down to the beach is still closed although that is not the fault of the site.
