Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Second stay at The Hollies. We were given a good sized pitch with electric hook up. We found the toilets were immaculate as were the showers. There are water points near to every pitch and plenty of places to sort your rubbish. Fish and chip van on site wasn’t open on the night we stayed but the very helpful staff on reception gave us takeaway menus for places that deliver straight to Reception to collect. The views are incredible and the site was clean.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Unfortunately we wouldn't return for safety reasons.
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Only problems we found were paying for hard standing and being pitched on the grass the other very important and dangerous thing was being pitched less than the safely guidelines that we are used to of 6 meters from another van.
The smells wafting across the pitches from the toilet block was quite disgusting at times unfortunately it was very windy on the nights we stayed 😑
Disliked Toilets and showers were very clean and never crowded the staff were very helpful and the warden, we also enjoyed the on sight fish and chips and the regular ice-cream van service

Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked f you’re looking for a camping spot that genuinely takes your breath away, this is it. Perched right on the cliff edge, the views are nothing short of spectacular—waking up to the sea stretching endlessly in front of you is something special. You can literally see the beach from your bed, and there’s nothing better than starting the day with a cuppa while watching the waves roll in below.
The setting feels peaceful and almost untouched, with that perfect mix of coastal air and calming sea sounds. It’s the kind of place where you slow down without even trying.
What really stood out (beyond the views) was how well kept everything was. The toilet and shower blocks were absolutely immaculate—clean, modern, and clearly looked after with care, which makes such a difference when camping.
A perfect balance of wild beauty and comfort. Already planning my next stay
Disliked Leaving - but will be re booking
