Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Very friendly greeting, pitch anywhere, amazing sea views and direct access to the coast path and walking. The facilities were also clean and well stocked. It has everything you need.
Disliked: Had one lovely hot shower and one freezing cold one. But I think that’s to be expected when it is busy. By the end of a busy bank holiday weekend bins were starting to overflow a bit.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: I recently stayed at this campsite and had a wonderful experience. The site is lovely, spacious, and impeccably clean, with spectacular views that enhance the overall charm. The quirky toilets and showers were always fully stocked and clean, making our stay very comfortable. The owners were extremely helpful. We forgot a few items, but they had everything we needed available to borrow. Additionally, the option to buy firewood and hire fire pits is a fantastic touch that added to our enjoyment. I will definitely stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend it to friends and family.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The location was amazing. On a cliff above the sea with fantastic views. Warm welcome by the hosts and they were always available if required. The chilled atmosphere. The alpacas on site. The coastal walk right off the camp field. Excellent toilet, shower and washing facilities.
Disliked: Some campers pitches their tents really close, as in a few metres away. No set rules or guidance may help.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: The view was incredible, and the facilities were good too - although the hot water was a bit patchy.
Disliked: Whilst quite like that it’s a free for all when choosing a pitch, can be quite annoying going out for the day and coming back to new people squeezed in either side.
