Amazing Place
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Amazing facilities. Huge Clean shower and toilets. Full of friendly people and great access to the bay. Plenty of wildlife and amazing night views. Good food. Really enjoyed ourselves.
Disliked Could have done with more things in the shops and the arcade room is quite pricey. No real phone service but there is free WiFi at the bar.
The site was really clean, and the staff are really helpful.

Liked This was our first time visiting a holiday park, we usually do wild camping as a couple, and our daughter was not keen on the idea so we looked for a holiday park. This place had everything out daughter wanted, playpark, beach, swimming and of course a toilet and shower 🤣.
We felt our daughter was safe in this park and she roamed free around the site and met some friends. We went lovely walks, used the swimming facilities and had food at the restaurant.
The staff were really helpful and always really chatty.
The toilets and showers were really clean, the shop was reasonably priced, the food and drinks were reasonably priced and food was good.
We will definitely visit again.
Disliked The shop could have more choice of fresh food and non alcoholic drinks. I understand it was a really busy hot weekend and these things could of possibly sold out.
Good site great for family’s . Golf putting swimming and fishing.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked 2nd visit, great location and fantastic beach.
We stayed Thursday / Friday nights. On Friday the site was very noisy, the kids didnt leave the park until 11.10 and there was a lot of shouting and my children were unable to sleep. I realise this is a risk of camping but generally sites quietens down before 11.15. We are happy with sites that calm for 11. This was not the case on the Thursday when the emptied at 10.30 (as per site rules). The site could have benefitted from someone emptying the park as that naturally reduces noise.
We had a good stay, the facilities are good, we camped with electricity. Showers etc all good and availability of the unisex/family showers is good too.
Good washing facilities and great access to beach.
Site shop and staff all excellent too.
Pitches a reasonable size, plenty people with awnings/gazebos etc.
Disliked The fact that the site did not quieten down till it was quite late.
Great site for families, clean, friendly and lovely location
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Very clean site, toilet block immaculate. Great facilities for kids - play park, pool etc really good. The sandy bay which is a 5 minute walk is really lovely. Great pizza at restaurant and well equipped shop. Staff super friendly. Had an incident on site with our wee one and the staff couldn’t be more helpful, super caring and attentive :)
Disliked Nothing
On the whole a great place to come with children
