Facilities
What visitors say
I stayed here on May Bank holiday (2026). The site was really well maintained, the facilities were super clean and seemed newly renovated - hot showers and ample washing facilities. The view from the site was incredible with easy access to a number of coastal paths and walks. Would I stay again? Yes, definitely! What must I remember? there isn't a shop within walking distance, so make sure to stop on the way and bring everything with me.

Gorgeous campsite with fantastic view. The showers were good. Shame I had to cut my trip short due to 33mph predicted winds- not ideal on the edge of the cliff!

What to do when the weather is looking sunny? It was a quick decision when we found this campsite. Stayed here for one night in the van over the weekend and will be going back. Let us start at the important bit. the facilities are great. Loads of toilets (and clean too) with showers, multiple sinks to wash all the dishes and separate ones for hands. There are 2 fields to choose where to camp, so if you have a nervous dog like us, loads of room to find a spot. Everywhere there are stunning views of the coast, the coastal path goes through the bottom corner, so there is plenty of path to find at your doorstep. A short walk will show the coast in all its glory if you can't walk too far. As an added bit, there are a few alpacas on site too to say hello to. Brilliant views, great facilities, and the price makes you come back for more without questioning plans.

Really lovely campsite. It’s huge, 10 acres, so I guess there will always be space. I think there were about 100 families here last weekend but we were still able to pick a level spot not close to others. Along the cliff top is a bit more crowded. Emma and Billy go the extra mile to make the loos and showers really great. As well as hot water and super clean cubicles, plenty of washing up liquid, sponges, shower gel, loo rolls and plants and flowers in every cubicle. You can book on their website now or email them. Very good communication. £17.50 pp per day. Not the cheapest but a really comfortable place to stay. Hire a fire pit with a big sack of logs for £20. More logs for £8 a sack.
