What customers say
This campsite has private spots in a beautiful, quiet setting with amazing mountain and ocean views. Showers and washrooms are always clean and well-kept, with hot water. Guests like the private pitches, fire pits, benches, and easy firewood buying. Most reviews are great, but some mention slight road noise and a wish for shower benches. Visitors highly recommend it for its peaceful vibe, natural beauty, and great coastal access.

Natural, private and thoughtful site with helpful and responsive staff
Primitive grass tent campsite (sea view)
Liked Stunning setting and private pitches, with little-to-no sight of other camps. The hosts are informative, helpful and responsive - providing all the information or instructions we might have needed. We were two substantial tents plus awning/tarp and we fit perfectly on the pitch.
The facilities (showers and toilets) were good and always clean; and although there's only two showers I waited no more than 5 minutes at any point on a busy bank holiday weekend. There's one washing up station, but again, I didn't wait for any more than 5 minutes and it was mostly free.
There are thoughtful touches of wheelbarrows for transporting from car to camp (top tier), wood for sale and a picnic bench on pitch.
There's wild rabbits and wildlife, sea and mountain views, and a 10 minute gorgeous stroll to the beach.
Be aware there is noise from the road nearby, but it is by no means disruptive and fades into the background; we also experienced some gusty winds where you're so close to the stunning mountains, but nothing tents couldn't handle.
Overall, this is a beautiful site with all the nature and "small" vibes you could ask for. I'd recommend it, and would stay again.

Excellent site, private pitches and unbelievable location!
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite (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!

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite (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 mobile home
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
