What customers say
Great cliff-top spot, direct beach access! Friendly staff, clean loos, big pitches are a winner. Food's good, shops nearby too. A few grumbles about shower temps, noise, and steep beach steps, but mostly excellent value and chilled vibes.

Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The amenities were good to have. Liked the fact that it’s secure in terms of a barrier at the entrance, and a freezer and charging point for the non electric field.
Disliked Not marked pitches. Drove round for a bit to see some campers had “bagged” neighbouring spots for their mates who were arriving later. Bit annoying and shouldn’t be allowed if it’s first come first served.

Stay clear of the Meadow Field
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked It's near a beach.
Disliked Being placed in the Meadow Field part of the site where the gravel pitches are next to what are obviously travellers in the entire lower middle section.
Kept awake on Friday night by 'Michael' and his mates having a right good session culiminating at 4am with an 'everyone back to their vans and have a domestic with their wives'.
Constant vehicle activity after midnight, hazards going, headlights on full beam. 5mph speed limit ignored by most 'seaonal residents' and the warden which is ironic.
Left after 1 night of a 3 night stay. Complained to indifferent staff who clearly know there is an issue and came up with the 'they only arrived recently line'. The vans in question have grass growing up around the awnings, airers and washing machines.
I was advised I should have phoned the warden but he should have been able to hear them as well as I could, quite what he would have done with 6 inebriated travellers is anyone's guess.
Promised a phone call from management who mysteriously weren't on site all weekend. Call never came which tells me they couldn't care less what casual punters think. Don't let them put you in the Meadow Field is my advice.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Convenient food stalls , amount of facilities… constant visibility of warden. Perfectly situated with cliff access to beach
Disliked Overtime it has become a victim of its own success…. In that it’s becoming very busy and hence losing some of it’s peaceful charm

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Pitches nice and big. Toilets clean. Lots of drinking water taps around
Disliked Not enough wash up areas. Steps down to the beach. We didn’t get told until
We asked on our last full day if there was a closer beach, then we got told to follow a path where there are no stairs. Getting told on the day we arrive we are not allowed to have any bbq’s.
