Wonderful site and our grandson who is 7 played happily there all weekend with other children. Nonsense that it doesn’t like children they have games rooms for them and scooters and bikes for them to borrow. It is a quiet site however getting back to nature is beautiful so close to the beach And the children can play safely. Toilet and shower blocks are immaculate. The wardens are so friendly and can’t do enough to help. Will definitely be back there

I can't fault this camping/caravan site at all, we arrived on the Monday and stayed till the Friday morning. Very affordable prices and the staff were lovely and very polite. And even the residents are polite. Me and my Fiancée & Kids will return to this lovely and quiet campsite.

*Not recommended!* We arrived at this campsite with our bikes (two girls). It was a beautiful location by the sea. However, the tent field was nothing special; a small patch of grass next to a public parking lot. We had paid 28 euros for one tent spot. Because one of us got sick, we wanted to pitch our second mini-tent right next to it. We stayed well within our own pitch. THIS WAS NOT ALLOWED, unless we paid another 28 euros (!!!). There wasn't a single other tent on this entire field!!! So, we ended up paying 56 euros for this lackluster pitch. Absolute nonsense! We definitely won't be back. You'd expect a little leniency for two girls on bikes when the campsite is otherwise empty.
