Liked Close proximity to the beach.
Some friendly staff offering a good start to our stay.

Disliked Inadequate toilet and shower facilities. Toilets a long way off from most of the camping pitches.
Someone on our pitch when we arrived which was sorted quickly but should not have ever happened.
Often no toilet roll or soap for hand washing. Queues for showering and a smell of sewage.
Rows and rows of campers with no landscaping.
Inaccurate advice about what food would be served. Told all food on menu available early in the day on Sunday, but actually no pizza in the evening due to Sunday roast being cooked.
Excessive rubbish overflowing at the bins which again are a very long way from pitches, encouraging people to drive o reach facilities.
Very expensive!

Liked The beach cove
The camping field near the beach looked lovely.

The main entertainment lady for the kids was amazing! - very friendly, very approachable. (I’m sorry I’ve forgotten her name).

Disliked Toilets were filthy - never cleaned - there was a poop stain on the same toilet for 4 days! And there was never any soap in dispensers or toilet roll / despite a staff cleaning sheet that was signed every 2 hours.

Showers were horrendous! Only 8 or 10 can’t remember exact number for the whole site and they are communal (not an issue for me but thought I’d mention)

The changing rooms for the pool were awful! - it stunk of stale wee! - there were no toilets in these, you can to walk back through the pool to the other side.
- there were no hooks in the changing rooms for the pool or the showers, so no where to put your clothes when changing, because obviously the floor wasn’t an option even for your bags as there was people obviously urinating on the floors.

There are two pools one for the non swimmers and a larger one for the others, the non swimmers pool was clearly for babies and toddlers and children who weren’t strong swimmers. - the amount of teenagers that used the wall separating them for beach balls games and bombing into it was ridiculous, it wasn’t monitored and the staff clearly didn’t care about the babies or toddlers that were constantly getting splashed at or pushed out the way - considering this was the only pool for the non swimmers you would think there would be some sort of policing involved. - I’m not normally one to moan about this but we had a 1 year old and a 4 year old and we only stayed in the pool for 30 mins because of this. (I asked the older kids nicely, so many times to please be careful of our toddlers and were ignored or sweared at. - there was only one life gaurd that I could see and one person by the slide on the other side of the pool.

There were only 4 mirrors above 4 sinks in the women’s toilets - NONE in the shower block.

There were staff smoking right at the entrance, and so many of them were just walking around in groups just chatting.

The family pitches by the caravans are so tightly squeezed together that people were unable to park their cars by the tents, we didn’t even open the windows to our tent because as soon as you did the caravan opposite can see straight through!

There were so many people letting their dogs off the leads and letting them poop wherever they wanted without a care in the world, the majority of these people were set up in the permanent spots, and again no one around monitoring this.

Liked The pitch was a good size, park was nice

Disliked Very run down/tired site, not the cleanest either. Pool was cold and the surrounding was carpet, not very nice to walk on. The site a daily itinerary sheet out with activities but the activities were not carried out. Staff didn’t seem to know much when asked. Not the most enthusiastic. Expensive pitches and had to pay on top for showers.

Liked The local beach
Chip shop best chips ever

Disliked The single road to harlyn sands

Liked You could come here and not leave site, great beach, a short walk from the site. Lively bar, friendly. All the facilites you need on site. Beautiful location, many beaches close by.

Disliked Sometimes the toilets were grubby, and smelt of drains in the showers, not the best for the price. Pool not included, even one visit would have been nice when you pay so much. Small pitches, no wide open field (it has a play park, but usually very busy).

Liked Loved that the beach was in walking distance.
A lot going on for the children.
Club house
Tent pitches were large

Disliked Pitches close together
Showers were shocking got a trickle I couldn’t wash my long hair & costing 20p
WiFi not free I had to connect my grandchildren onto my my hot spot
Chip shop need to up there food chips were horrible & dry
Pitches had pot holes can be dangerously lethal

Liked Good entertainment, bar, location is great with many beaches in walking distance

Disliked Not enough showers for the amount of people on site, often having to queue for 20mins to get one. Also very dated.
Toilets often in need of cleaning.
Laundrette also has lengthy queues as there only 3 washing machines for a very large site.

Liked Ease of check in, size of pitch, access to facilities (toilets/showers etc), access to beach, entertainment in the evenings for children was fantastic, everything was very child friendly!

Disliked The day time kids club wasn’t very well organised (though we did only go on a Sunday morning so might’ve been a down day?), and the arcade although functioning was very dated. You have to pay per person for the swimming pool too which wasn’t an issue but could work out quite expensive as an extra cost if hoping to swim daily.

Liked Great site with a beautiful beach accessed easily through the site. My daughter loved the pool. The shop was well stocked and not too bad price wise and all the staff very friendly.

Disliked It's not a dislike but the toilet block is a little dated and there needs to be more showers that are more reliable a few times money got put in for it then to not work.
