Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesMay 2026

It was literally everything you could want from a campsite. There was a family area which was quiet at night, direct access to the beach. Entertainment that was just right and really, really clean.

A note from the site themselves...

We are so proud to be part of a family-run business that has created unforgettable holidays for several generations.

The story began over seven decades ago, with a single vision to offer affordable seaside holidays, to bring families together and create lifelong memories. Since then, a lot has changed! Through hard work built on dedication, continual investment and a passion for providing great guest experiences, we have grown into a collection of well-loved parks.

Despite expanding, we remain true to our founding principles, which focus on value, service, and being family-run- unlike many of our competitors. As we look to the future, our commitment remains the same: delivering memorable holidays in fantastic locations, backed by genuine hospitality, excellent service, and care.

We are incredibly proud of our heritage, and look forward to welcoming you to what we have created.
