What customers say
This basic, friendly campground offers stunning coastal views, perfect for hikers and those wanting a back-to-basics getaway. Great location with easy access to coastal trails and local shops. Praised for fair prices and helpful owners, though some noted issues with portable toilets (cleanliness/odor) and occasional strong winds. Some found the sites sloped.

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite
Liked The campsite was easy to find with a clear sign pointing into the field. The views were so beautiful and Barry was so helpful if I had any questions… I enjoyed it as it is a bit more remote and it is a ‘quiet ‘ campsite. Storm Erin rolled in and hearing the waves from the van was amazing!

Great location but wouldn’t visit this site unless upgrades made.
Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Location was really amazing breath taking views.
Disliked The site is also used for passers bye which a sign is up for cheaper than you pay on pitch up! This brings in people with loud music and parties. From pictures you can just park up anywhere, but when you get there everyone rammed in parking spaces which gave no room. To walk down the beech a fence has been pulled down and rocks over barbed wire so be careful with your dog and children. Toilets were awful barely worked and smelt really bad. Such a shame as location was amazing.
