What customers say
Great spot with private, quiet sites offering mountain & sea views. Showers/toilets are spotless. Enjoy fire pits, easy wood buys. Some road noise noted, maybe shower seats. Highly recommended for peace, beauty, and coastal access.

Excellent site, private pitches and unbelievable location!
Unpowered grass campervan or tent site (sea view)
Liked This camp site was excellent - we were pitch 15 at the top of the camp where we had our car next to the tent.
We were warmly welcomed by the owners straight away who were super clear with how it all works, where things are and able to make suggestions.
We had a slightly windy first night but expected at a beach view campsite, and then 25 degrees sunny for the rest - amazing place to have this weather.
Short walk down to the beach though steep inclines would be difficult for those with mobility issues.
Showers, toilets and washing up area all beyond suitable! Fire pits and logs at the ready too!
We loved it here - would come back in a heartbeat!

Unpowered grass campervan or tent site (sea view)
Liked This is such a lovely little campsite. All pitches have a picnic bench with fire pit which is a lovely touch. The site it's self is immaculate. Each pitch has very private and clear marked out. Really close to a beach with beautiful views of mountains and sea. Such a relaxing experience.
Disliked Nothing to dislike at all.

Great stay 😁
3 bedroom static caravan
Liked We had a lovely stay. I booked to come here with my mum and my partner and it was the first time we’ve been away together with my mum. The area is beautiful, the caravan was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. Helena was a lovely host and was very attentive.
Disliked One minor thing the shelves in the fridge need fixing

Unpowered grass tent site (sea view)
Liked Clean bathrooms, gorgeous view onto mountains, plenty of drinking water taps, not far from plenty of gorgeous Welsh towns, friendly reception, firewood available to buy for £5 with QR code- super simple, fire pit and bench provided was a nice surprise. Good parking and plenty wheelbarrows to transport stuff to car. Easy to find. Good service
Disliked Paid for sea view but felt that was a little bit of the push as you could hardly see the sea but the view was so beautiful I didn’t mind.
