Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Level pitches, with hard standing, good amount open areas on site to explore, good ehu.
Disliked: Felt like they had really wound there attention to the facilities back, only a couple of loos and showers were unlocked, and sadly they felt like they hadn’t been cleaned for a day or two, no paper towels to dry your hands, mud and grass in the showers.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Lovely place with beautiful views and lots of fun for the children. The live music on Friday night was great and the BBQ food was delicious. The cafe serves excellent coffee and delicious bacon baps and pastries every morning. All the staff on site were friendly and welcoming and we had a great weekend. The perfect place to access Beer, Seaton, Sidmouth, Charmouth and Lyme regis.
Disliked: The on site shop could do with a few more bit, like camping gas etc but it was towards the end of season.

Liked: lovely relaxed campsite, huge pitches, the children had lovely natural spaces to play. very clean showers and toilets.
Disliked: cannot be blamed on the campsite owners, but a fight happened in the night on a pitch very close to us. It was extremely disturbing and very frightening to hear.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Large, level pitches. Peace and quiet. Views of the surrounding countryside. Breakfast rolls from the cafe. Cold beers at the bar!
Disliked: Washing facilities are jumbled (personal hygiene/dishes) and not cleaned frequently enough. Many sinks (outside cubicles) don't drain as they are blocked with food waste. Not enough showers (need more that are not with a toilet/sink). Water standpipes are only accessible by walking through other peoples pitches. No resources to clean shower to leave it nice for the next person. Shower/sink/toilet cubicles are a nice idea but are very slow when the site is busy - would be better separate. Not enough hooks to hang towel/clothes. It feels like the person who built this has not stayed in it.
