What customers say
This is a friendly, quiet campsite with spacious, level pitches and clean, modern facilities. Visitors praise the helpful staff, good location for exploring local attractions, and the option of fire pits. While most reviews highlight the excellent value and peaceful atmosphere, some mention issues with the shower temperature and layout, as well as occasional noise from nearby military ranges. The site is well-maintained, though some areas are still under development.

Liked Nice green site, good clean toilet facilities. 20 minutes from the ferry port. I would come again
Disliked The sinks are too high so that when you turn off the taps, the water on your hands runs down your arms onto your sleeves. At this time of the year it takes ages for your sleeves to then dry out.
I don’t imagine children could reach The taps.

Great pitches and site, with good facilities and friendly staff
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Great location, lovely pitches and facilities were clean and sufficient for needs. Arrival reception was friendly and helpful (as late season, very kindly said I could "take my pick" of where to pitch). No light pollution, so night skies weren't spoilt and site ideally placed for access to walking/cycling routes
Disliked Nothing to dislike about the site

Powered grass campsite
Liked Being free to choose our own pitch . Site well kept. Although we booked an electric hook up for there to be electric in the ladies toilets a real gem , don’t always get that .
Disliked Not keen on the open shower changing room

Excellent site with all I needed.

Great site. Maybe needs to rethink shower set up to avoid negativity.
Powered grass campsite
Liked The campsite was in a lovely area, very peaceful and loads to do in the area. The facilities were clean and there was a very relaxed atmosphere on site.
Disliked The only negative would be the shower set up. There are 3 showers in both ladies and gents. These are divided by solid walls and with a shower curtain at the front. There is a shared dressing area. These could easily be changed so that each shower had its own private dressing area and would be simple to do by extending the solid wall out. This would immediately please everyone and remove negative comments regarding the showers. I know if I had read the reviews before booking I most probably wouldn’t have booked the site. However, we had a lovely time and this was just a small negative.

Dirty and unhygienic
Powered grass campsite
Liked Nice big pitches. Fire pits available at £12 for a bag of logs which is reasonable.
Disliked Facilities were quite dirty and unhygienic. Even after they’d been ‘cleaned’ it left a lot to be desired and I’m not even sure they were cleaned every day. There was a cotton pad (used for removing makeup) in the shower in the soap holder for the whole 3 days we were there. Stains in the toilets still there next day. There are only 2 washbasins in the ladies and men’s washrooms, semi exposed to the elements with no privacy as they were located before you went in the door to the toilets. The sinks were also very high and not accessible for children. There are maybe half dozen toilets then a door to the shower section which has 3 shower cubicles and a communal changing area - but a lock on the inside of the door means that some people then lock it when they are using the shower (to get privacy), which effectively reduces the number of showers to one. No hooks to hang anything by sinks or by mirrors. Waste management was poor. There were 2 recycling bins labelled for glass, but all the others were just general recycling. But as there were no obvious refuse bins the recycling bins were full of rubbish. The bins at the front were full to overflowing and bins behind were empty but not accessible as they weren’t being rotated or managed. The Elsan point absolutely stinks too. The price for the pitches is fairly high, so I would expect a lot more in terms of cleanliness and more thoughtfully laid out facilities for that sort of money. There was no information point, no leaflets, no wifi, no visible personnel. Probably one of the worst sites I’ve stayed in over the last 12 years of camping
