What customers say
Spectacular views, prime location near beach & shops. Friendly owner frequently praised. Clean, basic facilities with suggestions for more toilets/showers. Peaceful, spacious site for a simple getaway. Some noted shower temp issues & lack of signage.

Great site with clean facilities and decent ground 👌
Primitive grass and gravel tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great little campsite! I brought my girlfriend here for her first camping trip, and she absolutely loved it—we’re actually heading back again this weekend 😊. The toilets were clean, and there’s a shop just five minutes from the site. The beach is about the same distance, and if you need to pop into town, Kilkeel and Asda aren’t far either. The views are amazing—ocean on one side and mountains on the other. Just a tip: bring a mallet, as the ground can be pretty hard 😂.
