What customers say
This small, friendly site gets rave reviews for its welcoming host, Maggie, and excellent location for exploring beaches. Facilities are basic but kept very clean. Kids enjoyed the play area, and free fire pits were a hit. Road noise and basic facilities, including one shower, were mentioned.

Liked Lovely camp site. Both Maggie and Steve were really welcoming and made sure we know where everything was on site and around the area. On-site facilitates: toilets, shower, washing station, electric points on most pitches. Love that they offered fire pits for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend if you want a quiet intimate stay. Family & dog friendly too!!

Liked Small friendly campsite.
Maggie was very helpful and welcoming. We appreciated the farm eggs on arrival. Pitch sizes are generous. There is a nice little play area for younger children. Facilities are basic and kept clean. You can hire fire pits and buy wood/kindling on site.
Lots to do in the surrounding area.
We enjoyed our stay.
