What a Gem!
Hosts, Chris and Tina are very friendly and accommodating. They go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. We had a great chat with Chris and took his recommendations to visit Valley Of The Rocks and we were not disappointed!
Location is just beautiful. Spaced out pitches in a well maintained campsite with stunning surroundings. We were lucky to wake up to the view of the Lambs.
They have thought of it all when I comes to entertainment; a football goal, badminton/tennis net and rackets, a little "beach" with a built in sandpit, swing set/climbing frame.
Located a few minutes from town for essentials and easy access to coastal areas for walks.
Clean facilities, warm showers, charging points, fridge/freezer, information room and free WiFi.
What more could you need?!
Thanks for an awesome stay. We will be back for sure.

Liked: Such a beautiful campsite. Very well kept and tidy. The toilets and shower are lovely and so incredibly clean.
The hot water station for washing up was so helpful along with the new USB station so that you can charge your phone !
The couple who run it are so friendly and kind and incredibly helpful.
The fire pit hire and logs and kindling was also very helpful.

Non-electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch
Liked: This lovely spot is run by the nicest and most accommodating people. Nothing was too much trouble, and we felt really well looked after. Our young daughter absolutely loved the swings and the sandpit area by the stream! Thanks to the availability of fire pits, which we rented for a night, the grownups enjoyed top-notch star gazing with owls hooting in the background. All in all, a lovely green space to spend the weekend.
Disliked: This is not something that the owners can do much about, but there's a nearby road and you can hear the cars. My partner was also unlucky in the timing of his shower in the new block, as the hot water ran out halfway through. I wasn't brave enough to try the shower next to the toilets as it was quite open to the elements, and the wind over the weekend was quite cold. Something to save for summer :)

Liked: Beautiful small site with generous pitches. The owners take such great care of the site, soft grass mown into paths between long grass, a pond, and stream running along the bottom of the site. Quiet, pretty and very safe for the kids to play. Our son made friends with lots of other children, and we felt very secure that they could just play freely. Spotless showers/loos/washing up.. Not too busy as it's not by the coast but we got out to the beach for the day too. We'll be back!

Liked: Wow what an experience. From start to finish the camping trip was amazing. The owner and his daughter super super nice and helpful. We went as a group of 3 families with kids from age 4 to 15 and we had a fabulous time. The place got amazing facilities. Hot showers,toilets and washing up area with hot water. The camping farm had set up games for children badminton net and football and even some board games following with a littke river stream that had a sand pit and toys. We had music and bbq and fire and all people around was lush and understanding and very friendly. This place is absolutely fabulous and can not fault it at all. Facilities well clean and stocked up with toilet paper, even shower gel and what was the coolest thing was that the owner even had a cubicle in the field with a fridge, little safe and charging area to share for all the people. I found that absolutely genuis. Well done and thank you for an amazing time we definitely will be back.
