A note from the site themselves...

Whitemoor is a great site for those who want the hustle and bustle of the coast with beaches by day, but something more tranquil and relaxed by the evening. Watch the stars at night and listen to the birdsong in the early morning.

We work to blend a rustic setting of freedom and space with great facilities. We are a family-run site, our emphasis is on having a great time while respecting everything around you - other campers, nature and the environment!

Medium Tent - Non-Electric Grass PitchesOct 2023

Very nice, clean and quiet site. Host was friendly and suggested a pitch that would be better for my stay. Very convenient location and would stay again. Nice pub 10 minutes walk away in the village

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Sand PitchesAug 2023

Fantastic place and owners. The only thing I would change would be toilets nearer the van park if possible as it's a fair walk in the night if you need the loo. Great site though, will be going back for sure.

Lovely site, back to nature!

We stayed for 1 night and we were lucky to have had good weather, during an inconsistent time. Good facilities, also use of fire pit and wood to purchase.
