What customers say
This quiet, peaceful campsite with beautiful hillside views offers stunning mountain and sea vistas. Spacious, well-spaced pitches and friendly, helpful owners are highlights. Basic but clean facilities include compost toilets and warm showers. Some guests mentioned signage issues, sloped pitches, and occasional lack of hot water for dishes. On-site fridge/freezer info now on site page.

Good site, minus tyre attacking dog
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Quiet site, enjoyed the peace and tranquility. The scenery was lovely from our pitch. The hosts were lovely, I didnt see them much but when I did they were informative and helpful.
Disliked On arrival I drove past the camp entrance by accident, there were loose working dogs, 1 was attacking my car tyre. Given the fact this is a camp site with guests, I think a working dog that is prone to biting car tyres should be kept away from guests. I understand its a working dog, but the booking does say report to someone on arrival, this is impossible when your car is being attacked by a dog. My car was not damaged but I do think its important for people to be aware of the dog incase a tyre is blown at some point.
