Small Tent - Meadow Camping - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

The campsite was very nicely set out, close to shops, beach and lovely views. It was a great introduction to camping especially with a little one- big open space to run around safely.

Beautiful and handy location

Small Tent - Meadow Camping - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

Loved the outdoor showers. Great location for walking and biking. Friendly lady on the phone. Loads of space for camping. I was there for National Cycling Championships and it was perfect.

Nice basic site but no monitoring of rules

This is a good site if you want back to basics camping. Having no roof on the shower is amazing for watching red kites while scrubbing your undercarriage, but it doesn't give any shelter for your clothes when it's raining. The camping kitchen provided is really useful, but there was no means of lighting the gas that was provided and no hot water at the kitchen. These are very minor gripes in the context of the site itself. However, we ended up leaving the site a night earlier than expected because of the noise levels - there was a party going on somewhere nearby (not on the site itself), with very loud music and shouting until the early hours. Again, this is something that maybe out of the site's control, so should be overlooked. However, our fellow campers also stayed up well into the early hours talking loudly and playing music around the campfire - there's campsite rules about noise levels at night, but no one appeared to be making an effort to enforce the rules.
