What customers say

This is a small, peaceful campsite with excellent, clean modern facilities, including showers, toilets, and pot-washing areas. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the on-site bistro/restaurant for its good quality food and reasonable prices. The location is highly rated for its proximity to Hadrian's Wall, walking routes, and the beach, though some mention ongoing building work and occasional noise.

Martin P.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked pitch was spot on. water, Elsan, all there.
Toilet and Shower block very clean.
Laundry and pot washing good.
Nice added Micro wave, toaster and Kettle if needed, nice extra.
Bistro looked nice but did not use it, so no comment on that.

Disliked only dislike is paying for a Dog which seems to be the norm these days and i dont understand it.

Local attractions

If it’s the wilder side of the coast that attracts you, take your binoculars along to see what you can spot at RSPB Campfield Marsh nature reserve (five minutes’ drive). More of a sandy stroll and paddling type? Aim for beaches in Allonby or Silloth (both half an hour), both long sandy beaches with good waves for watersports action. To see some bigger animals, head off for hands-on sessions at Walby Farm Park (half an hour) or get to know gibbons, zebra and snakes at the Lake District Wildlife Park (40 minutes). If history's more your thing, a day out in Carlisle (half an hour) should provide plenty of fodder in the form of the castle, cathedral and Tullie House Museum. If you’ve not got kids in your party, tours and tastings at The Lakes Distillery (35 minutes) and Annandale Distillery (45 minutes) might be on the cards. Or how about surprising the folk back home by coming back with a little something from Gretna Green (half an hour), that well-known elopement destination?
