What customers say
Great beachside spot, friendly vibes for families & doggos. Staff get a thumbs up, as do the clean facilities & restaurant. Touring pitches are a bit dated & a trek, with limited kiddie entertainment. Still, good value all round.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Lovely clean, tidy and very friendly site. Good level touring pitches.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Lovely site, right on the beach. A lovely walk along the beach to cafe, bars etc
Kept very clean and tidy.
Disliked We had a touring caravan. Unfortunately we found the shower/toilet block to be quite a way away from the touring pitches. Luckily we had our own toilet within our caravan, otherwise it would have been a real problem.

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Location, clubhouse, pitch
Disliked Showers very bad and with NO privacy at all. Having to come out of the shower in front of all kids etc with only your modesty. Very very bad. These are the worst showers I’ve ever been in. Will use motorhome shower in future

Very good site, would go back. Kids loved it!
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Fantastic site close to the beach. Lovely pub on site with a kids park. Not far from the pontoon where you can go crab fishing or rent a kayak.
Disliked Toilets are a bit dated, but clean. Also a little walk away. No indication where to put grey waste.

Liked Have a nice Clubhouse food was cold and small portion
Disliked Poor internet service doesn't work don't waste your money on it tolets shower block not situated in camping area five minute walk away in the static caravans park and the tolet and water you have left up off the ground make it impossible to pour your water way and don't do it at night no lighting and the pitch size small on top of each other

Disliked Confusing as to when the bar stopped servicing food

The place was nice but I wouldn’t go back.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Food was good, the site was very clean and tidy
Disliked Wasn’t much to do for young kids. Showers and toilets were very dated and not very well maintained. The beach wasn’t as sandy as it’s made out to be. I wasn’t made to feel very welcome as a tourer and felt like it was only a place for owners and seasonal pitches. They also wanted £18 for WiFi for a week.
