What customers say
Lovely, serene campsite with awesome views, a quick stroll to a private beach. Visitors rave about the lekker, helpful owners, spotless amenities, and chilled vibe. Perfect for a chill breakaway with loads of nature to explore. The gravel road in is a bit gnarly, but most managed okay.

Electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Wonderful location. Great views across the valley. Facilities all good quality with lovely touches like flowers in the toilets.
Beach within 10 min brisk walk (20mins if you amble). The coast path is right on the doorstep.
I didnt have a firepit but the option is there if you want one which is always nice.
It feels very remote as it is at the end of a long unpaved track.
Disliked Phone signal is a little patchy so staying connected is a little challenging. Great if you want to get away from it all though!

Lovely stay mainly due to the tranquility, views and walks to beach
Electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Views, communal area, walks, beach
Disliked Bumpy road to get to site, the fact that the mens toilets and ladies toilets are open together it didnt fee very good or safe especially if you have to go in the middle of the night and they could do with a few night lights in kerping with the countryside just sime solar lamps stuck in the hround would do.

beautiful caravan, no tv, or wifi but peaceful and calm atmosphere.
Swallow 2 bedroom static caravan
Liked Stunning location when got there, especially the walk down to the beach and the beach. People running the site were nice and friendly.
Disliked The narrow off road track was not well maintained, mostly fine up until a section just before the caravan site there was a sudden dip. We were worried it may have caught the underside of the car. Luckily not. It should have been made clearer to look in the information folder as this told of where children can play and where to be careful. The cliff top is not clearly marked and should not be accessed by anyone not knowing the lay of the cliff. For example to look at the beach below which my Son thought, and luckily I stopped him.
