Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked The beach and lighthouse.

Disliked Everything else. We had to leave and book a hotel. We didn’t even want to stay a night. It didn’t feel safe. It was nothing like they advertise it to be. Loud, drunk karaoke so bad you couldn’t think, pitches hemmed in between static vans, facilities next to main lairy bar which isn’t great when you’re wanting a shower, only one toilet in the gents, dogs barking incessantly, unruly kids playing football IN THE BAR, barging past our little girls, people just walk over your pitch. Not our vibe at all. Happily stayed at Havens and Park Deans before, so we’re not snobby! This was just horrendous!

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Toilet and shower facilities were basic but always clean and easy to get to. Beach close by and great for exploring with the kids a lillte mucky so be prepared if you have children with you but that didn't spoil pur fun.

Disliked Very noisy site not ideal for getting young children to sleep. Loud music and karaoke blasting out from two separate bars one on site and the other across the road. Drunk people walking around on site loudly through to the early hours of the morning. Very little sleep was had.

From the manager: Hi Amelia,
Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that you not enjoy your stay.
Regarding noise, July and August is a high season and our village is really busy.
Regarding loud music and karaoke, on our site we have got live music entertainment thru school holiday. We are informing about 'what's on' on Mermaid Bar facebook. Entertainment finishing around 11pm. Bar which have got karaoke is not ours and we can't control it.
When you booked touring pitch, you informed us that you have got kids with you and we put you on the farthest plot from Mermaid Bar.
Regarding drunk people, unfortunately we can't take responsibility for their behaviour.

Lovely friendly site clean and tidy…

What customers say

This lively, dog-friendly seaside park has friendly staff and easy beach access. Enjoy on-site amenities like entertainment and food. Pitches are usually clean. Watch out for inconsistent shower temps/pressure, noise from nearby static caravans and entertainment, and issues with chemical toilet disposal.

Liked Location

Disliked Toilets were dirty.
Pitch next to a pub with rowdy and drunken people.
Very noisy.
Cars parked on pitch when we got there had to go and find owners so we could set up eventually found them in the pub drinking, not too happy to move their cars, won't be back.
